The 44-year-old Kardashian held up a sign that read ‘Travis I’m Pregnant’ at 48-year-old Barker’s Blink-182 concert in Los Angeles on June 16, with the news traveling fast shortly thereafter and the couple welcoming son Rocky Thirteen on November 1.
However, Kourtney revealed on this week’s episode of The Kardashians that she actually told her family nearly two months earlier, on April 27.
It turns out there is also some historical context to Kourtney holding up that very familiar sign that dates back to a 1999 Blink-182 music video.
Early in the episode, Kourtney is at her home, snuggling in bed with son Reign for a photo shoot, as Kourtney tells him, ‘You’re about to become a big brother.’

Reign says, ‘I’m gonna teach him how to play Call of Duty, Fortnite, teach him how to play Black Ops 3, Zombies,’ though Kourtney asks, ‘What if you have a sister?’
Reign responds, ‘What if I have a sister? Still. She can be a cool person at her school. Wait, his first name should be Deez, his middle name should be Big and his last name should be Nuts. Deez Big Nuts.’
Kourtney informs Reign that her new child’s last name will be Barker,’ and while sitting in a chair and getting her hair done, Kourtney says, ‘So guys, I’m having a baby, in case you can’t see my belly baby bump.’
Kourtney reveals in confession, ‘I am five months pregnant. I have not told most people. I’ve told my closest friends, my family, my kids, and I had told my mom pretty early on.’
They cut to a video of Kourtney with all of her sisters – dated April 27, 2023 – where Kourtney tells them to open their envelopes, which seemingly reveals an ultrasound image – as it’s revealed that Kris Jenner herself is filming it.
Kendall opens the envelope and says, ‘You’re lying,’ but Kris turns the camera around and says, ‘She’s not lying.’
The sisters all hug and congratulate Kourtney, who says, ‘it just happened naturally’ as the sisters share their thoughts on Kourtney’s pregnancy in confession.
Kim says, ‘The fact that she got pregnant is such a beautiful thing. It’s what’s meant to be,’ as Khloe adds, ‘I am so so so happy that this happened for her.’

Kris adds, ‘I’m so happy for Kourtney and Travis. They really wanted this so badly, and they didn’t have instant success.’
They show throwback footage from earlier seasons as they tried to conceive a child through IVF with no luck, as Kris adds, ‘So much love, so much prayer went into this, and I just couldn’t be happier for this amazing blessing.’
Back at their office, Kourtney explains to her family that, ‘It happened on Valentine’s Day,’ as a producer says in confession, ‘You know when it happened?’
Kourtney says, ‘Yeah, of course. I mean, people would always say to us, “The second you stop trying it’s just gonna happen,” and we stopped doing IVF maybe two months before our wedding, so it took a year, I think, for all of those hormones and chemicals to get out of my system. We were not trying whatsoever. I didn’t even check my ovulation anymore. We decided to put it on God’s hands. I thought it was just not happening and we were like accepting of it, and then, God’s plan.’
A producer realizes, ‘Wait, so you’ve been pregnant all season?’ Kourtney confirms, ‘The whole season,’ as they flash back to clues along the way.
The first was the fifth episode this season during True Thompson’s birthday party, which was filmed either on or around April 12, when Kylie Jenner greeted Khloe and asked if she was pregnant, but she immediately said, ‘No.’
They show other clips of Kourtney being tired and last week’s episode at her own birthday party where Khloe is twirling her around, and Khloe says to put her down because, ‘I’m very fragile.’
‘I mean, it truly feels like a miracle, being able to be pregnant and have a baby with the love of my life. So we are going to announce our pregnancy at the L.A. Blink-182 show and we have a little something planned,’ Kourtney says in confession.

They ask if they’re considering names, as Kourtney says Travis, ‘has all the names,’ as Travis says, ‘His name if Rocky Thirteen, if he’s a boy.’
Simon Huck is also backstage, admitting it is, ‘huge news,’ while Stephanie Shepard says she has already cried.
Kourtney adds in confession, ‘It was actually Travis’ idea for the way for us to make our pregnancy news known to the world. He really wanted me to come out on stage, but I get really shy.’
Backstage, Kourtney says, ‘We have a new plan, babe,’ as they wonder whether to tell him or let him be surprised on stage.
‘What I really want is to just be in the crowd, just like leaning into it and jumping up and down,’ before revealing the impetus behind her crowd sign reveal.

Kourtney and her team and family all walk out to the stage as the group is finishing their song All The Small Things, as Kourtney reveals the sign and Travis walks down to her and they kiss.
‘It was just such a fun night, like making the sign, having all my friends there, having my kids, my niece and all their friends and all Travis’ friends and being at the L.A. show. I would say most people got the reference and thought it was iconic, and yeah, it was just such a fun way to announce our pregnancy to the world,’ Kourtney says in confession.
Backstage, Kourtney says, ‘I think it was perfect. I’m just relieved I don’t have wear huge clothes and get worried about North accidentally posting my belly.’
Stephanie Shepard says, ‘I could have cried. I did, I started crying. It was so special, it was perfect, now I’m going to cry again.’
Simon asks, ‘Do you think people thought that Travis found out for the first time? They’re married,’ though Kourtney admitted, ‘He looked surprised.
Travis adds, ‘I didn’t want to think about that song and be like OK I’ve got to do something right there. I was surprised.’

During the preview for next week’s episode, producers ask Khloe and Kris if they enjoyed the pregnancy reveal, though Khloe explains, ‘She found out on the news, my mom, she wasn’t very happy.’
While Kris knew about the pregnancy in April, she clearly didn’t know about Kourtney’s plans of revealing it to the world at the Blink-182 show.
Kris reveals, ‘I thought I was being punked. She forgot she had a family,’ while Kourtney reveals to her family that, ‘Tomorrow we’re doing our gender reveal,’ as Kris adds, ‘You’re telling me the day before? That’s so Kourtney.’
They show footage from the drum-themed gender reveal as the preview comes to an end.
