A real picture of baby North West has leaked online, reports state.

MediaTakeOut is now reporting that one of the supposed 'fake' baby pictuers posted in June is actually the real baby North West.

Following the birth of their first child, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West sent baby pictures to a few of their close friends. However, the sources close to the couple told TMZ that these pictures were phony.

Kardashian apparently wanted to find out which of her pals would attempt to sell the photo of her newborn. Apparently one money-hungry friend decided to sell out the couple and two pictures of the supposed baby were put online, reports TMZ.

Now a source has told MediaTakeOut that one of these pictures is not as fictitious as previously belived.

How could this be possible? Another source familiar with West and Kardashian claims that the couple actually did send real pictures to their friends, or at least one genuine shot, reports MediaTakeOut.

The source further states that the 'fake picture story' was just a ruse to cover up a leak that they knew would occur.

Has the world been seeing a real photo of the infant since June or is this 'source' just trying to further confuse fans while trying to ensure Kardashian and West's privacy.
