Excitement Builds as Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker Expect Their First Child Together

There is a lot of change coming Kourtney Kardashian’s way, and her stepdaughter Alabama Barker is looking forward to it. The reality star, 44, and her husband Travis Barker, 47, are expecting their first baby together, her fourth and his third.

A Growing Blended Family

The Lemme founder already shares kids Mason, 13, Penelope, 11, and Reign, eight, with former partner Scott Disick, while Travis shares Alabama, 17, plus son Landon, 19, as well as stepdaughter Atiana De La Hoya, 24, with ex-wife Shanna Moakler.

Excitement From All Sides

Speaking with E! News at the BeautyCon event in Los Angeles, Alabama expressed her excitement over welcoming a new member to the Barker-Kardashian family. “I just think having another family member is always awesome,” she said, adding: “Getting to know a new person, it’s gonna be so fun and so exciting!”

Support From Alabama’s Mom

Alabama’s mom, Shanna, also expressed her approval of her ex-husband’s baby news. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, she said, “I’m very excited for them” and added, “[I] hope they have a great experience bringing in a new life to the world.”

A Not-So-Smooth Journey

Despite the ongoing support from their family, friends, kids, and even exes, Kourtney’s pregnancy has not all been smooth sailing. Earlier this month, Travis had to unexpectedly postpone his scheduled Blink-182 concerts after Kourtney was rushed to the hospital over a medical emergency concerning their baby boy.

Gratitude and Perspective

Kourtney later opened up about the health scare with an emotional statement on Instagram. She expressed her gratitude towards her doctors and her husband for saving their baby’s life. She also shared her newfound understanding and respect for mothers who have had to fight for their babies while pregnant.

A Love Story

Kourtney and Travis have a unique love story. They knew each other as friends and neighbors for over a decade before officially starting to date in 2021. They got engaged in October of that year and got legally married in April 2022 in Santa Barbara, followed by an extravagant wedding in Italy the next month.
