Kourtney Kardashian has a long-running bit with the internet, and she didn’t start it. She posts a photo. Someone in the comments types “pregnant?” She replies. Repeat for six years. This page first went up in January 2023, at the height of that loop, and it ended by wishing her “a real pregnancy instead of fantasies of fans.” Five months later she answered the question herself, holding a cardboard sign at a stadium. So this is the update, with receipts, of a question that already has an answer.
The short answer: yes, once, in 2023
On Friday, June 16, 2023, Kourtney stood in the crowd at Blink-182’s show at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles holding a sign that read “Travis I’m pregnant.” Travis Barker left the drum kit and came down to her, and Mark Hoppus told the crowd: “Let’s hear it for Travis, someone’s having a baby.” The couple confirmed it with a joint Instagram video early the next morning.
The sign was a quotation, not an improvisation. In Blink-182’s 1999 video for “All the Small Things,” a fan in the crowd holds up the same words, and Kourtney reposted the clip to her Stories afterward. I have read a lot of pregnancy announcements in this job. Very few of them came with a footnote.
The road there: IVF, then a break
The couple got engaged in Montecito in October 2021 and married in 2022: a courthouse ceremony in Santa Barbara in May, then the big Italian wedding in Portofino. (The longer love story is here.) Kourtney already had three children with Scott Disick, Mason, Penelope and Reign. The earlier version of this article credited those three to Kim. They are not Kim’s.
In season one of The Kardashians on Hulu (April 2022), Kourtney told Kris Jenner that her IVF medication had made her feel terrible: “The medication that they’ve been giving me, they put me into menopause, literally into menopause.” In September 2022 she told The Wall Street Journal: “We started an IVF journey, but I stopped. It was a lot. I took a break to just focus on our wedding and getting married.” In December 2022 she wrote on Instagram: “Finally started getting my energy back 10 months after stopping IVF, for anyone else going through it, it gets better!”
That is the piece of the story I keep coming back to. While strangers were zooming in on her stomach, she was describing hormone treatment in public, in detail, on purpose. The zooming didn’t help anyone. The describing probably did.
The photos fans called “proof”
The Instagram post below, from January 8, 2023, carries the caption “blah blah blah” and drew more than 9,000 comments, a good share of them about a bump that wasn’t there.
Her replies across those years are worth quoting, because they are the only primary source in this whole genre. In August 2021, when one commenter wrote “SHES PREGNANT,” she answered: “I’m a woman with a BODY.” On March 2, 2023, under behind-the-scenes photos for her supplement brand Lemme, she explained the after-effects of IVF and added: “Also are we still asking women if they’re pregnant?” She said she replied only because “it’s important to know how IVF affects women’s bodies and it’s not spoken about much.”
This page once ran a section inspecting her silhouette for clues. It is gone, and it is not coming back. A photo of a woman’s body is not a medical record, and “a hand on her belly” is not a press release. The only evidence that ever counted turned out to be a sign she made herself.
Rocky Thirteen, and a scare along the way
The pregnancy was not as easy as her first three. In early September 2023, Blink-182 announced that Travis had to fly home from the European tour for “an urgent family matter.” Kourtney later explained on Instagram that she had undergone “urgent fetal surgery,” thanked her doctors for saving the baby’s life, and called Travis her rock for rushing back from tour.
Their son, Rocky Thirteen Barker, was born on November 1, 2023, in Los Angeles. He turns three in a few weeks, and he joins a blended household with Mason, Penelope, Reign, and Travis’s children Landon and Alabama, plus his stepdaughter Atiana.
The rumor that never retires
You would think a confirmed baby would end the comment-section genre. It did not. In July 2025, under bikini photos from Portofino, she answered a pregnancy question with: “Or breastfeeding, eating gelato, focaccia, pasta, not working out and living my best damn life baby.” In August 2025, under a family vacation carousel where Rocky sat on her lap, she wrote: “Eating pancakes and jumping off cliffs,” and later explained in her Stories that she had been breastfeeding.
As of October 2026, neither Kourtney, 47, nor Travis, 50, has announced another pregnancy. Their public news this month is a nerve surgery on Travis’s arm and a pair of vampire costumes at Landon’s 23rd birthday party, which is a lot of lace but not a baby announcement. Any “she’s expecting again” headline without a post from one of them is guesswork.
My verdict
The January 2023 question had a real answer, and it did not come from the photos. It came from Kourtney, at a time she chose, with a sign borrowed from a 1999 music video. If there is ever a fifth child, I expect she will tell us the same way, on her own schedule. Until then, the most useful comment under her photos is still the one she keeps writing herself.
