The 24-year-old reality TV star and cosmetics entrepreneur posted a black and white picture showing a hand holding the child’s tiny hand on Instagram, where she has 309 million followers, on Sunday.

The baby, the picture caption said, arrived on 2 February, the day after Stormi’s birthday.

Jenner, known to millions from reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians, did not reveal the newborn’s gender.

But alongside the picture was an emoji of a blue heart, which may indicate it’s a boy.

Houston-born rapper Scott, 30, posted a series of love heart emojis.

This time, the couple announced news that their second child was on the way in a 90-second video shared to Instagram in September.

Jenner held a baby shower in January.

It comes after 10 people died as fans surged toward the stage during a performance by Scott at the two-day Astroworld music festival in Houston, Texas, in November.

Scott has said he did not know fans were injured until just minutes before a press conference following the show.
