The pregnancy announcement took place at a Blink-182 concert

Kourtney’s pregnancy announcement took place during a Blink-182 concert earlier this year when she held up a sign reading: “Travis I’m pregnant.” This heartfelt moment paid homage to the band’s 1999 music video for All the Small Things. The couple’s journey to parenthood was a central theme on The Kardashians, with Kourtney candidly discussing their IVF journey, which at times led to health challenges and emotional struggles. Their union culminated in a secret wedding ceremony in Las Vegas, followed by an official ceremony in Italy, attended by a star-studded guest list, including Megan Fox, Machine Gun Kelly, and the Kardashian/Jenner family, as well as Barker’s children. The Blink-182 community and fans worldwide await updates on Travis Barker’s return and the rescheduled concert dates, while sending their thoughts and support to him and his family during this trying time.
