Kourtney Kardashian Silences Pregnancy Rumors with Gelato-Packed Italian Comeback
Another day, another disappointment. Let’s dive in. Kourtney Kardashian has once again proven she is allergic to gossip by serving an epic reply to those pestering pregnancy rumors after her recent Italian getaway. On July 17, the reality star shared a slick swimsuit selfie from Portofino, Italy, only to be hit with a wave of speculation that she may be expecting her fifth child. Instead of playing into the frenzy, Kardashian delivered a swift, reality-check answer in her comment thread that she is “breastfeeding, eating gelato, focaccia, pasta, not working out and living my best damn life baby.”
Rumor police, you’ve been put on notice. The Poosh founder—who is mother to 20-month-old Rocky Thirteen Barker with husband Travis Barker, plus Mason, 15, Penelope, 13, and Reign, 10, with ex Scott Disick—made it clear she’s fully embracing her postpartum freedoms on vacation. This isn’t just a vacation glow moment; it reflects the body-positive journey she’s detailed before. In an in-depth Poosh blog post earlier this year, Kardashian wrote that her first postpartum wake-up call didn’t arrive until Reign was roughly four months old. Before that, she focused on self-care, not society’s unrealistic bounce-back standards.
At 46 years old, the reality star has even taken to Instagram Stories to share an open letter reminding fellow new moms that “your body is beautiful at all stages.” She urged kindness for yourself during the entire pregnancy-to-postpartum arc—even when breastfeeding adds another layer of adjustment. As she put it, “The pressure put on us to bounce back when everything is new and different is not realistic. Life is too beautiful, you are beautiful. Just a little reminder (for me too ;).”
When she isn’t schooling internet armchair experts, Kardashian is fully immersed in family life. She gushed on her Instagram feed in March from Australia that she felt “so grateful for every single second of time with my babies,” especially on a rare two-week stretch of uninterrupted family bonding. Alongside husband Travis Barker, she’s also forging strong stepmom connections with his older kids, Landon, 21, Alabama, 19, and Atiana, 26.
Between fashion week appearances, birthday throwbacks and Blink-182 tour pit stops in Australia, the Kardashian–Barker clan has given fans plenty of can’t-miss photo ops. Whether it was cheering on Penelope during a mom-and-me mirror selfie, to toting Alabama to Tommy Factory’s New York Fashion Week showcase last September, Kourtney has kept it real about blending motherhood with her never-ending schedule of family milestones.
So there you have it—pregnancy rumor mill, consider yourself uninvited. This mom is too busy savoring her pasta and gelato for any extra headlines. And that is today’s dose of reality. You’re welcome.
