Kourtney Kardashian, in a candid Instagram Q&A session, shared her emotional IVF journey and the eventual natural conception of her son with Travis Barker. The 45-year-old reality star disclosed that she underwent five unsuccessful IVF cycles in her efforts to conceive, responding to a follower’s query about how she coped with the challenges of fertility treatments. “I stopped after a year of trying, my body relaxed, and I believed in God’s plan for my life,” Kourtney revealed, emphasizing the power of prayer and health optimization in her journey.
Her story took a hopeful turn when, a year after ceasing IVF, she conceived naturally—a blessing she attributes to divine timing, sharing the news with her approximately 223 million followers alongside a heartfelt image. “I got pregnant 100% naturally, NOT through IVF… one year after stopping IVF actually. Through God’s blessing, on Valentine’s Day,” Kourtney clarified, marking the moment with a red heart emoji.
In November 2023, Kourtney and Travis, 48, welcomed their son Rocky Thirteen. The couple, who recently celebrated their second wedding anniversary, have blended their family with children from previous relationships. Travis has two children, a son and a daughter, with his ex-wife Shanna Moakler, while Kourtney shares three children with her ex-boyfriend Scott Disick.
The Kardashian-Jenner family dynamics continued to make headlines, with Kris Jenner offering heartfelt birthday wishes to Scott Disick, father to Kourtney’s children, on Instagram. Meanwhile, Kourtney’s son Mason made waves by joining Instagram, quickly amassing 30,000 followers and engaging in interactions with family members like Kim and Khloe Kardashian, who expressed both excitement and disbelief at his growing independence.
This family milestone coincided with another significant event—Kourtney’s niece, North West, making her acting debut as Young Simba in The Lion King’s 30th Anniversary concert, supported by her parents Kim and Kanye West, and the extended family, including Kourtney and Travis, at the Hollywood Bowl.
Through her public sharing, Kourtney aims to inspire and support others facing similar fertility struggles, highlighting the importance of faith and resilience. Her journey underscores the complex realities of reproductive health and the unexpected paths to parenthood many face.
