Kourtney Kardashian, who is currently pregnant, and Travis Barker are expecting a baby boy. The couple shared an Instagram video from their gender reveal party, which took place on Saturday, June 24. In the video, Barker, a drummer, can be seen playing his drum kit while Kardashian, a reality TV star, sits on his lap and gives him a kiss. As the drumroll builds up, blue confetti is released into the sky to announce that they will be having a son as their first child together.
The couple, who tied the knot in 2022 after a year-long courtship, recently announced their joyous news of expanding their family. Kardashian, who has three children, Mason, 13, Penelope, 10, and Reign, 8, from her previous relationship with Scott Disick, revealed her pregnancy during a Blink-182 concert in California by displaying a sign that said, "Travis, I'm pregnant."
As for Barker, he is already a father to son Landon, 19, and daughter Alabama, 17, from his previous marriage to Shanna Moakler. The talented drummer, who was formerly married to Moakler from 2004 to 2008, has also embraced the role of a father figure to Atiana, Moakler's 24-year-old daughter from her relationship with Oscar De La Hoya.

Prior to revealing her pregnancy, the Poosh founder candidly discussed the couple's pursuit of parenthood. "We embarked on an IVF journey, but I decided to put it on hold. It became overwhelming. I wanted to take a break and solely concentrate on our wedding and the sacred union," she shared with WSJ. Magazine in September 2022, only four months after tying the knot with Barker in Italy.
Kardashian confessed in a later interview on the "Not Skinny But Not Fat" podcast that she was influenced to undergo IVF, stating, "I reached a point where I felt like the timing was perfect with Travis. I genuinely believe that if it's meant to be, it will happen. We have prayers and hope that God will bless us with a baby."
Recently, a source informed We that Kardashian and Barker are still eager to start their own family. The insider exclusively shared, "From the beginning, Kourtney and Travis have desired to have a baby, and she was effortlessly able to conceive their previous three children. This time, I don't think she even contemplated it. However, they remained unwavering in their belief that having a baby together is the most romantic thing they can do, even during challenging times."
According to a source, Kourtney Kardashian is determined to see her pregnancy through and is unwavering in her decision. Her excitement about having a baby with Travis remains strong, despite the longer process. In fact, it is seen as a positive aspect for her. Kardashian has been sharing updates on her baby bump progress on Instagram, recently captioning a bikini selfie with "Sweet summer."
