"I have met baby North, and she's adorable," Burke gushed to Us. "She looks just like Kim and also Kanye [West], obviously."

Asked whether she'd gotten the baby anything special, the dancer replied, "I did! I spoiled her a little bit. I got her baby Uggs, a nice little blankie, and ballet shoes. I want to turn her into a dancer already! [I also got her] a little ballet outfit."

Burke, who partnered with Kardashian's brother Rob on Season 13 of DWTS, noted that the reality star was absolutely thrilled to be a mom. "They're so happy," she told Us of the new family. "I've never seen Kim so happy before. She's glowing, and she's loving every moment of it. Kanye, as well — he's such a great guy, and they're so in love."
