ALBAWABA - The 44-year-old reality TV star Kourtney Kardashian has finally welcomed baby no. 4, and first baby with Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker after a rocky pregnancy journey, hence the baby's name, Rocky Barker.
Kourtney was already a mother of 3 with her ex, Scott Disick; Mason, 13, Penelope, 11, and Reign, 8, while Travis shares two kids with his ex-wife, Shanna Moakler; Alabama, 19, and Landon, 17.
Before this pregnancy, Kourtney went for a number of IVF rounds and did not get pregnant until she finally stopped all treatments late last year. Later on, Kardashian said that getting pregnant naturally was all part of "God's Plan".
She first announced her pregnancy publicly in June 2023 while attending a Blink-182 show, jumping up and down in the crowd with a poster that read, "Travis I'm Pregnant".
Later on in her pregnancy, Kourtney revealed that she suffered a scary experience and was rushed to the hospital to undergo foetal surgery. "I will be forever grateful to my incredible doctors for saving our baby’s life," Kourtney said in an Instagram post.
"As someone who has had three really easy pregnancies in the past, I wasn’t prepared for the fear of rushing into urgent fetal surgery. I don’t think anyone who hasn’t been through a similar situation can begin to understand that feeling of fear. I have a whole new understanding and respect for the mamas who have had to fight for their babies while pregnant" she added.
Fans took to social media to congratulate the parents on the arrival of their new baby boy, and some speculated that the name Rocky was inspired by the rough road Kourtney had to suffer throughout the pregnancy.
