Her pregnancy announcement sparked a debate

After Kourtney shared the video of her announcement, many interpreted it as her first announcement to her husband, though he obviously was already aware that the two were expecting, and it was instead their way of sharing the news with the public, plus a nod to Blink-182's 1999 music video for their hit song "All the Small Things."

Fans were sure to defend the star in the comments section under the post, maintaining: "It was an announcement to the world, not to him! Calm down," and: "Do people really think he didn't know?" as well as: "What y'all don't understand is, this announcement was for us. Of course he knew already," plus another fan added: "She made the sign in reference to an old Blink-182 video. Obviously they've both known for a while that she's pregnant."

Kourtney previously opened up about her journey with IVF on Hulu's The Kardashians. In an episode of the hit reality show, she's seen telling her sisters: "Travis and I want to have a baby, and so my doctor took us down this road of doing IVF. It hasn't been the most amazing experience."

She also spoke on the impact the treatment had on her body, and said on the show: "Eight months of IVF treatment has taken a toll on my body, mentally and physically, and it has taken a lot for me to get to a place of feeling comfortable and happy with the changes."

Still, she said: "Travis is so supportive and always complimenting me, and it helped me to embrace the changes, to the point where I love the changes," and joked: "My ass is amazing."

Kourtney and Travis knew each other and were both friends and neighbors for over a decade before they officially started dating in 2021. They got engaged in October of that year after Travis proposed with a beachside proposal, dropping to one knee surrounded by a bed of red roses.

The two then got legally married in April 2022 in Santa Barbara, which was followed by an extravagant wedding in Italy the next month.
