Kim Kardashian has finally broken her silence on her brother Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna's baby news, which came just a month after the couple announced their engagement.

Kim, the oldest among the Kardashian-Jenner siblings and the most famous member of the hit reality show "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," shared her excitement for her only brother and expressed her support to the expectant parents.

"I mean, it's so exciting. It's a really exciting time for him," the reality star said in an interview with ET in Cannes, France on Tuesday, May 17. "I think he'll be the best dad. He's really just such a good, good person."

The 35-year-old mother-of-two shared that she and her rapper husband, Kanye West, enjoyed giving Rob some parenting advice to the soon-to-be father. She said that more than Kanye though, it was she who would dish out advice to Rob, describing it as "a really fun time."

"I'm really happy for them," Kim added.

It can be recalled that Rob and his fiancée Chyna announced earlier this month on Instagram that they were expecting their first child together. It came just a few weeks after the two shared the news of their engagement, which surprised fans and the Kardashian-Jenner household.

The couple started dating in January, and their relationship initially was said to have met with opposition as Chyna shares a three-year-old son with rapper Tyga, who was then dating Rob's half-sister, Kylie Jenner.

Now reports say that the rest of the Kardashian-Jenner household is taking time to acknowledge the latest update on Rob's life. The household matriarch, Kris Jenner, is said to be accepting of Chyna's pregnancy while Kim's other sisters have yet to voice out their support to their only brother.

Kylie, who has recently broken up with Tyga, expressed support by "liking" Rob's baby announcement on Instagram but has yet to give any comment on the matter.
