Kim Kardashian is going to "miss" living at her mother's house.
The 33-year-old reality TV star has been staying at her mum Kris Jenner's home with her eight-month-old daughter North and her fiancé Kanye West while they wait for the renovations on their mansion to be completed, but she admits she will be sad when she has to leave.
A fan asked Kim on Mobio INsider: "Kim, you have enough money to rent a place, why aren't you living in place of your own?"
Kim replied: "I truly didnt think our house would take this long. But now I love living here. It has everything I could ever need, and I love spending all of this time with my mom and sisters.
"I will be definitely ready to go when our house is finally done but going to miss it too. Nothing better than the whole family seeing our daughter daily! (sic)".
The couple - who got engaged in October - were hoping to move into their new house at the end of last year but, after a few electrical glitches, their moving date has been pushed back until the summer.
It is believed the 36-year-old rapper and his beau have splashed out $1.154 million on six luxury beds for their new pad and have also spent a staggering $500,000 on gold-plated toilets.
The pair are also keen to have a cinema room and a full-sized basketball court attached to their property, which will be kitted out with Swarovski accessories.

Whitney Houston's former home is up for sale for $1.5 million.
The late singer - who died in February 2012 - had the New Jersey estate built 26 years ago for $2.7 million and the property, which is set on five acres, is now available at a cut price after being listed several times since her death.
Estate agent Gregory Taylor, who is selling the house - which is no longer owned by Whitney's estate - said: "It was on the market several times but there were some hiccups along the way.
"It was purchased from the estate and cleaned up. The current owner wishes to remain anonymous."
The realtor is unsure when Whitney sold the property, which was listed in 2009 for $2.5 million, and again in February 2011 priced the house at $1.75 million, though the latter listing was taken down in January 2012.
In the days after Whitney's death from accidental drowning caused by cocaine abuse and a heart condition, fans left floral tributes at the gates of the lavish five-bedroom property.
The house - which also boasts amenities including tennis court, walk-in closets, a six-car garage, pool, deck and pool house - was also the site of the troubled singer's wedding to Bobby Brown in 1992.
The property was reportedly inspired by Terminal C at Newark Liberty International Airport and includes many circular rooms, including a master bedroom with a circular bed and circular bath.

Meg Ryan always wanted to be a journalist.
The 52-year-old actress had a passion for writing as a teenager and only turned to acting as a way of paying her way through college.
She said: "My main aim, at 18, was to become a journalist. I only started acting - in commercials - to pay my way through college in New York."
The 'Sleepless in Seattle' star was "intimidated" by everyone around her when she started working and struggled to "understand" her co-stars.
She explained to The Sun newspaper: "I was 19 when I was in my first film, 'Rich And Famous'. I played Candice Bergen's daughter and only had about ten lines, which I would repeat constantly every night.
"When I travelled to Los Angeles, it was the first time I had ever been on a plane. I was intimidated by everyone in those days. If you ever see the film, you will see me shaking in every scene. I did not understand actors. It was overwhelming."
Despite her successful career, Meg - who has 21-year-old son Jack with ex-husband Dennis Quaid - admits she isn't always comfortable with fame and still struggles with rejection.
She said: "I've always had mixed feelings about fame. It means that you live out your worst moments in the public eye.
"I also learned that however successful you might be, you are always going to miss out on something.
"I took it badly whenever I got turned down for a role. Things either did not get sent to me or went to others first. Acting is like any other business -- you are judged with such abandon."

David Beckham is reportedly planning a big birthday bash for wife Victoria.
The retired soccer star is said to be organising a lavish 40th birthday party for his spouse - with whom he has 14-year-old Brooklyn, 11-year-old Romeo, eight-year-old Cruz and two-year-old Harper - in April, despite the designer asking for a more low-key celebration.
A source told Britain's HELLO! magazine: "Victoria wants to celebrate in LA at Easter time with her family. She's not a big party girl, but there are rumours that David has different ideas and could be planning something. It's a big milestone, so he thinks it should be celebrated properly."
The Beckhams are said to be inviting over 100 guests to celebrate Victoria's milestone occasion, including chef Gordon Ramsay, 'Desperate Housewives' star Eva Longoria, actress Kate Beckinsale and interior designer Kelly Hoppen.
The family were rumoured to be buying a house in Miami when they move over to the US city for David to launch his own Major League Soccer club, but are only going to be renting a place since they don't see the move as permanent.
An insider told the magazine: "The family are going to have a base in Miami but have no plans to buy a house at the moment."

Paolo Nutini wants to be a carpenter.
The 27-year-old star - who is set to make a comeback with his third album 'Caustic Love' on April 14 - wants to explore joinery after taking inspiration from a man he saw as his grandfather when he was younger.
He explained: "The man I grew up to I think of as a grandfather on my mother's side, a man called Eddie, he was this old army hand, big white bushy moustache. He dealt in scrap, he was always down at the lost-and-found at the airport or prison, and I'd be the little kid tagging along, because he'd often look after me during the day ... He worked with wood, and made me this little rocking horse when I was young, called Rocky. I still have it.
"Whittling and carving wood is something I've always wanted to do, yet I've only dipped my toe in the water. I find it therapeutic ... I need to do that, go away and separate myself from things, get some education, some life, outside of a tour bus or a venue."
The 'Candy' singer fled back to his Scottish homeland four years ago when being in the spotlight became too much to bear and he admits he needed the hiatus to repair his relationship with his family and friends.
In an interview with Culture Magazine, he explained: "It's not like I've been making an album for three, four years. We toured the last record for a year and a bit, and I got to this point where I was only seeing my family and friends at gigs, I was miles away from home, my relationship was handing by a thread and I realised I was losing everything."

Enrique Iglesias and Kylie Minogue are locked in a battle to release their duet.
The Latin heartthrob and 'Into The Blue' singer have collaborated on the track 'Beautiful' but their labels Universal Republic and Parlophone are at war over when it will be released.
Enrique told the Daily Star Sunday newspaper: "I'm hoping the duet will be released as the next single but I know there's been a few problems between the record companies because she is on a different label.
"It's all politics. There was a moment when the record companies were fighting back and forth, but in the end Kylie and I spoke and we will make it happen."
The pair, who are both set to release new music this year, will shoot a video for the song in March.
Enrique, 38, said: "I'm a huge fan of Kylie. She's so sweet and she's been going for a long time but is as sexy as ever"
The star's new single 'I'm A Freak', featuring Pitbull, is out on March 16, while Kylie, 45, releases her single 'Into The Bull' on March 9.
Enrique also rubbished reports he got a car drive 20 metres after throwing a strip and insists he's not a diva.

Idris Elba has been cast in 'Alive Alone'.
The 'Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom' actor will star as male lead Jamal alongside newcomer Sam Worthington in the thriller which is set to begin shooting in March, reports The Hollywood Reporter.
Elba's arrival to the cast comes in the wake of Matthias Schoenaerts exit from the cast, after it was announced in Cannes he would star in the Thunder Road produced drama with Noomi Rapace - who will also executive produce the forthcoming film.
'Alive Alone' will mark the directing debut for Khurram Longi, who will helm his own script which featured in TV crime drama's 'The Black List' and the The UK's 'Brit List'.
Set in New York, Elba stars as an detainee of Guantanamo Bay working as a taxi driver while Noomi takes on the role of a prostitute on the run from a feared crime boss played by Worthington.
Meanwhile, Idris is eyeing a cameo in 'Girls' after he made an appeal to the show's creator and star Lena Dunham last month to write him a part on the popular programme.
He wrote on Twitter: "He tweeted:"@lenadunham Very funny woman. Can I come do a scene on your show? (sic)"
Although Lena is yet to agree to give the British actor a part on her show, she claimed it would be an "honour" to have him guest star.

Britain's Prince William claims he is determined to help save wildlife - despite shooting wild boar on a hunting trip.
The 31-year-old royal and his father, Prince Charles, have launched a high-profile appeal to save endangered species such as rhinos, tigers and elephants and filmed a video message as part of a week of wildlife conservation events.
William insists he wants his six-month-old son Prince George, with wife Catherine, also 31, to "experience the same Africa that I did as a child."
In the video, which was re-recorded at Clarence House and broadcast yesterday (09.02.14), William and his father speak in a number of languages and images of animals killed by poachers flash up on the screen.
William said: "This year, I have become even more devoted to protecting the resources of the Earth for not only my own son, but also the other children of his generation."
The pair have worked together in the past to raise the issue of animal conservation and William is now royal patron of the wildlife charity Tusk Trust, while Charles, is president of WWF-UK
William flew out to Cordoba in southern Spain this month to join brother Harry, 29, to shoot wild boar and deer and has received a backlash of comments with critics saying the trip was poorly timed.
Jan Creamer of Animal Defenders International also described the hunting as "barbaric".
She said: "It is absolutely shocking that such prominent Royals should take pleasure from it."

Liam Payne was heard "swearing up a storm" after his flight was delayed due to a bomb threat.
The One Direction hunk reportedly shocked fellow passengers when he became annoyed at airline staff during the flight from Puerto Rico to Philadelphia over the weekend.
According to the Daily Mirror newspaper, the 20-year-old singer became angry after being told there was a four-hour delay because he was eager to see his girlfriend Sophia Smith, who celebrated her 20th birthday yesterday (09.02.14).
A source said: "Liam was livid. He was tired and grumpy, and just wanted to get home because it was his girlfriend's birthday. He snapped at officials and started swearing. Everyone was quite taken aback."
But the star started to calm down when he realised he wasn't the only passenger annoyed that the US Airways flight 770 was grounded at 1.30pm.
The source added: "He apologised soon after. He didn't mean any offence."
However, fan Brooklyn Wiles was not impressed by Liam's outburst and claimed he refused to smile when she asked for a photograph after the drama.
She posted on Twitter: "I love One Direction ... but for him to act like a complete jerk because of a flight that was delayed due to a bomb threat?!?
"Every single person on that plane has to deal with this too... we all are trying to find flights and get home. And he was swearing up a storm. He was a nobody three years ago...
"Just because you're famous doesn't mean you should be a jerk to your fans.
"It's hard to love someone who takes fame too far. Liam Payne, I've lost my respect. (sic)"
The flight finally took off at 5.18pm after a passenger made the bomb threat and police found no explosives on the plane.

Joe Jonas wants Selena Gomez to be "happy".
The 24-year-old singer is a fan of his fellow former Disney star - who previously dated his brother Nick - and is hoping she can continue doing great things in her career following her recent stint in rehab.
Asked if he is a fan of the 'Come & Get It' hitmaker, he said: "I am! I am! I mean, her career been great and she is going to succeed and I want her to succeed and I want her to be happy!"
The former Jonas Brothers star believes the key to keeping himself on the right track and not succumbing to the pressures of fame is to learn from the mistakes of those he admires.
Discussing dealing with fame, he told E! News: "Something that I heard from someone I looked up to was, 'Watch the people around you and learn from their mistakes so you don't make the same.
"I just held on to that and any time I saw a celebrity I really looked up to screw up, I just was like 'all right, I am not going to do that or try my best ability to avoid that,' so it's just a learning tool."
Selena, 21, sought help at The Meadows facility in Arizona because she was "burnt out", with reports suggesting she underwent the two-week stint in rehab to address her alcohol and marijuana use.
