Kanye West selects all of Kim Kardashian West's maternity wardrobe.

The 38-year-old rapper reportedly ''controls'' all of his pregnant wife's clothing choices and thinks it's more important to look stylish than be comfortable.

A source close to the couple, who already have 23-month-old daughter North, told Life & Style Weekly magazine: ''Kanye controls all of Kim's clothing choices, and he's not making any allowances for her pregnancy. For him, it's fashion before comfort, and poor Kim is miserable.

''He has no clue how uncomfortable Kim is. He thinks he's a style genius.''

The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star, who is due to give birth to their second child in December, is eager to wear more relaxed ensembles this time round after being criticised for the tight-fitting dresses and high heels she opted to wear while expecting North.

But the insider said: ''Kanye says all the negative comments are just hates who are jealous of his and Kim's fame. Kim isn't sure of that. But she'll do anything for her man.''

North West spent her birthday last week at Disneyland with her parents, where they were joined by other members of the Kardashian family for the occasion.
