After unveiling her pregnancy earlier this summer at a Blink-182 concert in Los Angeles, Kourtney Kardashian is making the most of showcasing her blossoming baby bump.
The Lemme founder, who's thought to be nearing the end of her second trimester, shared pictures to her Instagram of her flaunting her bump in a red bikini, writing: 'Growing you inside of me, my son, is the greatest blessing, honour and joy.'
The eldest Kardashian has become the poster girl for pregnant beach dressing this summer, having shared a string of images of her wearing a series of stand-out swimsuits to her social media accounts.
Earlier this summer, Kourtney teased that her and her husband, Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, have 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 post comes after Kourtney took to Instagram to share a string of intimate photographs with her partner, Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, after unveiling their pregnancy earlier this month. Kourtney wrote: ‘Overwhelmed with gratitude and joy for God’s blessing and plan.’
The post came two days after 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’.
