Looking back with love! Kourtney Kardashian was the first of her sisters to become a mother in 2009, and with each pregnancy, she has fully embraced the process.
The Poosh founder welcomed son Mason with then-boyfriend Scott Disick December 2009.
“Having Mason in my life is the most amazing, indescribable thing that has ever happened to me,” Kardashian wrote on her website the following month. “I’m so in love with him and love having my own little family with Scott and Mason.”
Nearly two years later, Us weekly exclusively broke the news that the University of Arizona alum and the talentless designer were expecting their second child together.
“Now I’m nine weeks out,” Kardashian said in November 2011. “You’d have to wait 12 weeks to tell people, but I’m confident.”
Disick, for his part, revealed that their second pregnancy wasn’t as much of a surprise as the first. “It wasn’t like we weren’t trying. We basically just said, ‘If it has to be this way, it will be,'” he said Us.
The couple’s only daughter, Penelope, arrived in July 2012. A month later, the Kourtney and Kim take New York alum exclusively told Us how she adjusted to life as a mother of two.
“Nothing could prepare me for how hard I fell in love with her,” Kardashian said. “With Mason, we have such a love affair that I never knew existed. I didn’t expect it to happen again. It’s such a magical feeling.”
The couple became parents for the third time in December 2014 when son Reign was born. Their youngest child was born on big brother Mason’s fifth birthday.
While Kardashian and Disick split in 2015 – after an on-again, off-again relationship in 2006 – Kardashian Confidential co-author never ruled out having more children.
In fact, the Kardashians star decided to freeze her eggs before she turned 40, in case she couldn’t conceive naturally in the future. “I think doing that… and being in control of my body just gave me peace of mind,” she said during a March 2021 appearance on the “Lady Parts” segment of The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
After getting engaged to Travis Barker in September of that year, a source told exclusively Us that the couple would “without a doubt have a baby together.”
The insider explained in October 2021 that it was “just a matter of when and how” they would expand their family. (Barker shares two children, son Landon and daughter Alabama, with ex-wife Shanna Moakler, and he’s a big part of stepdaughter Atiana De La Hoya’s life. The couple briefly split in 2006 after two years of marriage, before calling it quits for good in 2008. Moakler, for her part, shares Atiana with ex Oscar De La Hoya.)
“[Kourtney] and Travis want to frame their own child, and if she can’t get pregnant, they will look at other alternatives,” the source told me. Us at the time.
Kardashian – who married the Blink-182 drummer in May 2022 – has since sparked pregnancy speculation on more than one occasion. In January 2022, she fueled rumors of baby No. 4 after telling her social media followers that she was trying for a “dry January.” She then shared a photo with an avocado as a caption, leading some fans to believe it meant she was pregnant.
The Kardashians star confirmed in September 2022 that she stopped her in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments after struggling to conceive with Barker. “We started an IVF process, but I stopped. It was a lot,” said the founder of Lemme WSJ. Magazine at the time. “I took a break to focus on our wedding and getting married.”
In March 2023, the TV personality once again stopped pregnancy speculation, telling her fans via Instagram that her current physical appearance was due to the “after effects.” [sic] of IVF.”
The founder of Lemme announced at Barker’s Blink-182 concert on June 16, 2023 that she is pregnant with their first child together. Kourtney held up a “Travis, I’m Pregnant” sign from her place in the crowd, which references a similar poster in his “All the Small Things” music video.
