Kourtney Kardashian has revealed how she got pregnant with Travis Barker’s child.
The eldest of the Kardashian-Jenner sisters, the 45-year-old welcomed her son with the Blink-182 drummer in November 2023.
Rocky Thirteen is the mum’s fourth child, as she shares Mason, 14, Penelope, 11 and Reign, nine, with her ex-boyfriend Scott Disick, 41. Travis is also dad to Landon, 20, and Alabama, 18.
The pair have been married for two years, with much of their relationship and efforts to get pregnant of course documented in the family's reality TV show, The Kardashians.

But Kourtney recently opened up more about the journey to having baby Rocky in a Q & A session on her Instagram Stories yesterday (27 May).
One user asked: “Had 6 failed IVFs - how did you find the strength to keep going? It’s debilitating.”
And the famous sister wrote: “I stopped after a year of trying (5 failed IVF cycles, 3 retrievals) my body relaxed and I believed in God's plan for my life.”
She continued: “Lots of prayers for whatever was meant to be for us. Also lots of optimizing my health. I know how hard it is to feel like you're not trying, but believing in God's plan and saying your prayers is so powerful. All the best!”

Despite talking about her experiences with trying IVF, she went on to explain just how she got pregnant with the Blink-182 star’s child.
She shared a photo with her pregnancy belly, writing how she wanted to be ‘super clear’ because it seemed her answer to ‘the IVF question may have been confusing’.
Kourtney revealed: “I got pregnant 100 percent naturally, NOT through IVF… one year of stopping IVF actually.
“Through God’s blessing, on Valentine’s Day.”

The mum previously revealed she drinks her own breast milk as she wrote on her Stories: “This filter is crazy and I just pounded a glass of breast milk because I feel sick. Goodnight.”
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warns that baby breast milk should only be given to the baby, from the mother.
Adults face the same dangers as babies if they consume someone else's breast milk, and that includes potential 'exposure to infectious diseases, including HIV, to chemical contaminants, such as some illegal drugs'. But it is perfectly safe for a mother to drink her own.
