Kourtney Kardashian, who recently gave birth to her fourth child, has taken to Instagram to wish her husband, Travis Barker, a happy birthday.
'To my husband, my soulmate, my best friend, my lover, my daddy to our baby boy, my everything… I wish you the happiest birthday,' the eldest Kardashian wrote. 'You make all of my dreams come true and I feel so blessed to have you by my side. I love you beyond words, forever.'
According to sources, Kardashian gave birth to a 'beautiful baby boy' on November 4. She is said to feel 'elated' and 'over the moon about her son’s arrival' after 'pregnancy took a stressful turn towards the end.'
The news of the birth comes after Barker confirmed the name that he and Kourtney Kardashian would be bequeathing their child prior to his birth.
Speaking on the One Life One Chance Podcast With Toby Morse, Barker said: 'There was a benefit in Hawaii that we were gonna do, but it’s the week that Rocky’s due.'
'Rocky Thirteen Barker,?' Toby asked and then Travis confirmed: 'Rocky Thirteen Barker!'
Of course, this isn't the first time that the name Rocky has been floated as a possible moniker. In a video shared to social media of the wishing tree at Kardashian's Disney-themed baby shower earlier this summer, a friend filmed a note, which read: 'May Baby Rocky have... life filled with love.'
Earlier this summer, Kardashian teased that her and Barker had already chosen their baby boy's name. On a post that the reality TV star shared of her baby bump, Barker commented: 'I already know his name.' Fans began speculating that the pair could call the baby Tree, Elvis or Kravis, the commonly-used amalgam of both of their names.
The news comes as Kardashian, who, according to Barker, is expecting her first baby in the first week of November, dressed as Winona Ryder's Beetlejuice character Lydia Deetz for Halloween this year. Posting an image on Instagram of her and Barker, who dressed as the titular ghost, Kardashian wrote: 'I’m the ghost with the most, babe.'
The Lemme founder recently revealed her favourite pregnancy snacks in a new post on her lifestyle website, Poosh. Among them are cottage cheese and mango fruit bars, as well as acai bowls with 'banana, coconut cream, hemp seeds, and either peanut or almond butter’, as well as vegan rice crispy cakes.
Kardashian is famous for eating a clean diet and leaning heavily into plant-based foods, while Barker has been vegan for 16 years.
The matriarch of the family, Kris Jenner, has shared her frustrations at learning of her daughter's pregnancy from reading the news in the latest season of The Kardashians.
In one of the first episodes, Khloé Kardashian says: 'My mom found out on the news. She wasn't very happy.'
Kris then adds: 'I thought I was being Punk'd.'
After unveiling her pregnancy earlier this summer at a Blink-182 concert in Los Angeles, Kardashian has been making the most of revelling in her fourth pregnancy, despite having undergone emergency surgery that saved her unborn baby's life in September.
After recovering, the Lemme founder hosted a vintage Disney-themed baby shower, which came complete with Mickey Mouse ears for guests, Mickey Mouse pancakes, Mickey Mouse balloons and a wishing tree.
To unveil her pregnancy this summer, the eldest Kardashian sister held up a sign reading: 'Travis I’m pregnant' at his Los Angeles show, an homage to the band’s 'All The Small Things' video. A video of the unveiling shared to Kourtney’s Instagram has been liked more than six million times.
Kourtney, who tied the knot with Barker in an Italian wedding in May 2022, had shared hers and her husband’s fertility struggle on the sophomoric of The Kardashians.
‘We would love a baby more than anything, but I just really believe in what God has in store for us. If that's a baby, then I believe that it will happen,’ she announced on the show, after admitting that the couple were 'officially done with IVF' after receiving the news that the fertility treatment had not lead to a pregnancy for the couple.
In an episode that aired last April, Kourtney confided in her mother, Kris Jenner about pregnancy rumours.
She said: ‘Every single person on social media is always like, “Kourtney’s pregnant, Kourtney’s pregnant, Kourtney’s gained so much weight”, I’m like, it’s so rude to comment on people when you have no idea what they’re actually going through.’
She also explained how IVF medication 'basically put me into a depression’.
