After giving up on IVF, Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker are expecting a little boy to add to their big, blended family

ROCK ON, BABY!

SHE thought she’d never find love again when her tumultuous relationship with the father of her children ended. But it turned out happiness was right next door.

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker went from neighbours to friends to lovers to newlyweds with one big, blended family – and now there’s a new baby on the way too.

They have six kids between them, but have made no secret about wanting an even bigger family. “Kourtney never felt like she was done,” a source says. “Now that she’s with Travis, she wants it even more.”

Yet after several rounds of IVF and alternative medicine treatments, the 44-year-old reality TV star made peace with the fact she might not have a baby with the Blink-182 drummer.

Then came the announcement they were expecting – and Kourt shared the news with the world in typically curated Kardashian style: holding up a handwritten poster that read “Travis, I’m pregnant” at a Blink-182 concert.

The moment was a nod to the music video from the band’s 1999 hit song All the Small Things, where someone in the audience holds up a placard with the same wording.

Kourtney later took to Instagram to share images of Travis (47) tapping drumsticks on her belly. “Overwhelmed with gratitude and joy for God’s blessing and plan,” she said.

It seems after years of drama with her baby-daddy Scott Disick, she’s finally found her happily ever after. “Kourtney has been praying for this. She’s beyond excited.
