Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker are reportedly hoping to add a daughter to their blended family. This comes nearly two years after Kardashian bravely discussed her experience with emergency fetal surgery.
While thrilled with their son Rocky, sources say Kourtney Kardashian is particularly keen on welcoming a girl, though twins are also a possibility.
Are Kourtney Kardashian And Travis Barker Exploring Surrogacy Options?
Insiders reveal that the couple is eager to grow their family further, with both Kardashian and Barker enthusiastic about the prospect of another 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦, or even two. It was noted that Kardashian is “hoping for a girl this time” or even twins.
“They both think having twins would be a huge plus, either a boy and a girl or twin girls. The exciting thing is if they do use a surrogate, that’s actually totally doable,” the source explained.
While they are reportedly hoping to conceive naturally, they are prepared to explore other options. “Nothing is in the works yet, and for now, they’re still hoping to do this naturally, but if not, they will turn to science for help,” the source clarified.
The insider elaborated to In Touch on Kardashian’s openness to surrogacy, noting that she has witnessed its positive outcomes within her own family. The source revealed, “It’s worked out well for Kim [Kardashian] and Khloé [Kardashian], so Kourtney has seen all the positives firsthand.”
Kourtney’s Surrogacy Considerations Might Be Rooted In Son’s Health Challenges
The reality TV star’s journey to parenthood with her son, Rocky, was marked by significant medical complications. Kardashian and Barker first raised concerns in 2023 when she was hospitalized.
The Blast reported that while the specific reason for her hospitalization was initially kept private, a June 20, 2024, episode of “The Kardashians” provided insight into the medical difficulties Kardashian faced.
During the episode, she candidly discussed how her son required emergency fetal surgery during her pregnancy. Kardashian revealed that her son suffered from a rare medical condition. “It is super rare: the condition that he had — but it is also super rare and lucky that we caught it,” she explained.
However, the surgery, while necessary, did not fully resolve the issue. Kardashian disclosed that “the fluid in his lungs actually did start coming back” afterward.
