Kourtney Kardashian, the eldest of her sisters, became a mother in 2009, and she has wholeheartedly embraced the journey of pregnancy ever since. She joyfully welcomed her first child, son Mason, with her then-boyfriend Scott Disick in December of that year.
"Having Mason in my life is an inexplicable and extraordinary experience," Kardashian expressed on her website the following month. "I am deeply in love with him and cherish the presence of our own little family, consisting of Scott, Mason, and me."
Almost two years later, our exclusive report revealed the exciting news that the University of Arizona graduate and renowned Talentless designer were anticipating the arrival of their second child."
In November 2011, Kardashian disclosed, "I am currently nine weeks pregnant." Despite the customary waiting period of 12 weeks to share the news, she expressed her confidence in doing so. Disick, on the other hand, shared that their second pregnancy was not as unexpected as the first. He mentioned, "We were actively trying, but we also had a mindset of 'if it's meant to happen, it will.'"
Penelope, the couple's sole daughter, made her arrival in July 2012. Just a month later, the Kourtney and Kim Take New York alum shared with Us the challenges and joys of being a mother of two.
Kardashian expressed, "I was completely unprepared for the overwhelming love I feel for her. My bond with Mason is so deep and profound, but I never anticipated experiencing it all over again. It truly is a remarkable and enchanting sensation."
Kardashian and Disick ended their relationship in 2015, following an on-again-off-again dynamic that began in 2006. However, despite their split, the Kardashian Konfidential coauthor always remained open to the possibility of having more children.
After turning 40, the Kardashians star made the decision to freeze her eggs as a precautionary measure in case she faced difficulties conceiving naturally in the future. During a March 2021 interview on the "Lady Parts" segment of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, she expressed how this decision provided her with a sense of peace and control over her own body.
Following their engagement in September of the same year, an exclusive source revealed that the couple, Travis Barker and the Kardashians star, were determined to have a child together without any hesitation.
According to an insider in October 2021, the couple had expressed their desire to expand their family, stating that it was only a matter of time and method. Travis Barker already has two children, Landon and Alabama, from his previous marriage with Shanna Moakler, and he also plays a significant role in the life of his stepdaughter Atiana De La Hoya. Although they briefly separated in 2006, ending their marriage after two years, they ultimately decided to part ways for good in 2008. Shanna Moakler, on the other hand, shares Atiana with her ex, Oscar De La Hoya. The source revealed that if Kourtney Kardashian is unable to conceive, she and Travis are open to exploring other options in order to have a child of their own.
Kardashian, who married Blink-182 drummer in May 2022, has sparked speculation about her pregnancy multiple times. In January 2022, she added fuel to the rumors of baby number four by mentioning her "dry January" on social media. She further added to the speculation by posting a photo of an avocado with a suggestive caption.
In September 2022, the Kardashian star confirmed that she had halted her IVF treatments after facing difficulties conceiving with Barker. Speaking to WSJ. Magazine, she explained that the IVF journey had taken a toll on her, leading her to take a break and focus on their wedding and marriage.
In March 2023, the TV personality dismissed rumors of her pregnancy on Instagram, explaining that her current physical appearance was a result of the lingering effects of undergoing IVF treatment.
However, during Barker's Blink-182 concert on June 16, 2023, the founder of Lemme made a surprising announcement. Kourtney revealed that she and Barker are expecting their first child together by holding up a sign in the crowd that read, "Travis, I'm Pregnant." This sign paid homage to a similar poster featured in Barker's "All the Small Things" music video.
