Kim Kardashian and Travis Barker Announce Unconventional Pregnancy Reveal
Key Highlights :
Kim Kardashian and Travis Barker have been making headlines since announcing their engagement in February 2021. Now, the couple is making headlines once again as they announce their pregnancy with an unconventional reveal.
On Friday night, the 44-year-old reality TV star and lifestyle mogul attended a concert for her husband’s band, Blink-182, at the BMO Stadium in Los Angeles. During the show, Kardashian chose an opportune moment to raise a hand-painted cardboard sign that read: “Travis I’m Pregnant.” After the sign was captured by cameras and beamed to the screens at the side of the stage, Barker’s bandmate Mark Hoppus added: “Someone’s having a baby!” (Kardashian later confirmed the news by posting a clip of her waving the sign in a shared post with Barker.)
Kardashian and Barker have been friends for many years, but their romance has been a whirlwind. After plenty of dates, family trips, and even Barker getting Kardashian’s name tattooed on his chest, the couple got engaged in November 2021. In April 2022, on the night of the Grammy Awards, the pair headed to a chapel in Las Vegas after the show to get married. Unfortunately, they were unable to obtain a marriage license due to the late hour. A few weeks later, they made things official in a small ceremony at a Santa Barbara courthouse.
The main event took place in May 2022, when the couple said “I do” for the first time with a lavish multi-day wedding extravaganza in Portofino, Italy. Kardashian wore a dramatic lace and satin Dolce & Gabbana gown, which was inspired by 1960s Italian lingerie, the Mediterranean gardens found across the seaside town, and Catholic iconography.
Since then, the couple has expressed their wish to have a child together. Kardashian already shares three children—Mason, Penelope, and Reign—with her former partner, Scott Disick. Barker has three children of his own with ex-wife Shanna Moakler: their biological children Landon and Alabama, as well as his stepdaughter Atiana.
Throughout season two of their reality show, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, the couple shared their wish to continue growing their blended family, with Kardashian opening up to her mom, Kris, about their attempts to have a baby through IVF. In the season three premiere, released last month, Kardashian shared that they had decided to end their IVF journey, citing the physical and emotional toll of the process.
Now, the couple has announced their pregnancy in a unique way, with Kardashian raising a hand-painted sign that read “Travis I’m Pregnant.” We wish the couple all the best as they prepare to welcome their first child together.
