On September 6, Kourtney Kardashian Barker shared a photo from a hospital bed to her 224 million-strong Instagram, clasping the tattooed hand of her husband, Travis Barker. For many, it was a scare: Kourtney, at 44, is seven months pregnant with a longed-for child, as has been revealed in The Kardashians, the reality show about her family that’s now in its fourth season, a continuation of Keeping Up with the Kardashians that broadcast twenty seasons on E! in the US. “It was terrifying. I feel that sooner or later I will go into detail because I hope that it could help others, but I don’t feel ready yet because it was really frightening,” she says when we reach her on the phone. Those who follow the show know this: of all the sisters – Kim, Khloé, Kylie and Kendall – she has always been the most ambivalent about how much of her life to reveal, an ambivalence that has often been a source of tension. The sisters also each have different attitudes towards work. This perception, however, has come under question recently as Kourtney, like Kim, is also having success as an entrepreneur. Following the launch of the wellness site Poosh in 2019, she launched Lemme in 2022, a brand specializing in vitamins and supplements. Another reason is the fact that her wedding to Travis in Portofino by Dolce and Gabbana, after ceremonies in Las Vegas and Santa Barbara, became the topic of a good part of The Kardashians and even a spin-off in the form of the documentary Til Death Do Us Part. “Travis and I haven’t yet talked about whether and how much to show the baby”, she says, now almost at the end of her pregnancy, which, despite the fear of a month ago, is now progressing happily.
How is this pregnancy different from previous ones?
«Physically, I feel great. I like being pregnant. I’m obsessed with the idea of being pregnant! But this time, unlike the other three, I was followed by a different group of doctors, who gave me many restrictions in the first months. No workouts, no Pilates, no caffeine and no plane trips. Even no sex! I think all this caution made me a little afraid because, in the past, I never had to be so careful. It took me a while to let go of the fear. Right after the surgery, I reached the point where I let myself go and I stopped worrying. Now I talk to the baby every day, have a positive mindset, keep my head straight, and say a lot of prayers. I feel really lucky and grateful. I have a lot of gratitude. Not that I didn’t have it before, but perhaps since it came easy to me, I took the pregnancy for granted
There have been negative comments online about your age, even though today there are many women over 40 who get pregnant naturally.
«Those comments don’t affect me. To those who make them, I just say: “How could you question God’s plan?”. Because that’s how I see this pregnancy. It arrived when both Travis and I no longer even thought about it, and when I had stopped fertility treatment»
On that matter, you were very honest about how debilitating it was, both psychologically and physically.
«The decision to try assisted fertilization was almost a non-choice, in the sense that I was pushed towards it as if it were the only option. The truth is, I felt like I was doing something that wasn’t right for me. My intuition was telling me that it wasn’t suitable for me – I don’t even take medicine, imagine – that it was working against my body rather than for it»
We women need to listen to our intuition more.
«I knew deep down that it wasn’t the right thing. I kept telling Travis: ‘If we’re meant to have a baby, then it’s just going to happen.’ And that’s how it was. When we stopped forcing the process, then it happened»
Are your children happy?
«Very. They’ve been asking me for another baby for a while. When they go to school in the morning, they touch my belly, kiss it, and say goodbye»
Has your relationship with your body always been positive?
«I have always loved my body. Khloé always told me that she wished she had an ounce of my confidence. At home, I’m always naked, and whoever comes around is warned. As a teenager, I was pressured, like everyone else, to be thinner and fitter, just as I was after having children: I was pressured to get back into shape immediately, as if there was a social expectation asking how long a woman would take to get back to how they were before»
Recently, your sister Kylie Jenner has been self-critical regarding certain beauty ideals. The Kardashian family might also has some responsibilities.
«If I think about it now, I understand it. I have participated in covers with that tone, like ‘Look how quickly she got back into shape.’ Today, I think that idea is unhealthy, because every woman’s body is different. After my third child (Reign, born in 2014, ed.) I refused to do them, I took my time, but I had already started a wellness journey during pregnancy and after the birth of Penelope (in 2012, ed.), I wanted to convey a more positive message, without rushing anyone, least of all myself. I remember at the time I couldn’t wait to start training because it made me feel good in terms of mental health. I had a lot of anxiety at the time, I was separating from the father of my children, and training really helped me»
Judging by the photos, it seems that pregnancy has made you even more confident in herself.
«Feeling life grow inside me is a truly special and incredible experience. It’s like a superpower, but at the same time it’s a very vulnerable time, and I think when you’re vulnerable, your truest self is even more powerful»
You and Travis started out as friends, and now you’re basically the perfect couple. How did it happen?
«Really, we always knew we were more than friends. And those around us knew it too: everyone always told us that we were meant to be together, including Kendall, Kim and Kanye. Travis himself said it, but I kept him at a distance for a long time, even though during the pandemic we spent a lot of time together, us with our children. It’s as if we both always knew it, but we were afraid»
Afraid of being happy?
«Afraid of something real. I remember one time Travis invited me to the cinema to see Bohemian Rhapsody. I said yes and then panicked. I was terrified. I remember talking to my therapist about it. She asked me: ‘What’s wrong? Why shouldn’t you go?’ And I was just terrified»
What do you like most about becoming a mother?
«I love experiencing life through their eyes and doing with them all the things I did as a child. Going to Disneyland or even just touching sand for the first time. I love creating traditions and memories and making everyday things feel special and magical. Being able to do that now with Travis is a dream come true»

Khloé Kardashian On Looking Cute at the Gym and Clothes She’s Saving for her Daughter
When it comes to fashion, Khloé Kardashian is something of an amateur archivist. Whether it’s dresses she wore to her family’s famed Christmas Eve parties or her grand Met Gala looks, Kardashian has stored them away, with her daughter, True, in mind. And maybe even a future grandchild. “I save them in a garment bag with the photos on it, and I’ll save it for True or for her daughter,” she says.
Kardashian’s love of fashion transcends her museum-quality preservation. She’s also a burgeoning designer, combining her love of fashion and exercise in a new collaboration with Fabletics, whose second drop is available for purchase September 30. The reality star’s collection with the activewear brand features a desert color scheme of sunset oranges, sage greens, and dusty blues. For her, the collection’s theme is a metaphor for life’s many challenges. “You’re trekking through this 150-degree desert but pushing through, and you don’t know what’s over that next sand dune,” she says. “And then you go over and you see this Oasis and you’re just tranquil and serene, and you made it.” Her second drop, which is jewel-toned, has a high-sheen finish.
The Fabletics collection is full of high-waisted leggings, low backs, and skintight bodysuits—made in the image of what Kardashian herself wants to wear to work out. “If I feel really cute in the gym, it really makes me want to go and work out. So I do think investing in good workout clothes motivates you,” she says. For her, fashion and function are tantamount. Of her leggings, specifically, she says: “They are still gym appropriate, they hold everything, but you could really wear them out with a pair of heels.”
When it comes to her Fabletics collab, don’t ask her if she has a favorite piece—Kardashian loves all her leggings equally. “Whenever people ask me [that], it’s like picking favorite children,” she says. “Which people do have, I’ve learned.”
Although leggings are a constant staple in Kardashian’s wardrobe (these days she’s into weight training and boxing, and wants to pick Pilates back up), she knows that trying out new styles requires confidence. “I try not to follow a lot of trends because I’ve done that when I was younger and I sometimes looked ridiculous because I wasn’t confident. You could wear anything and if you exude confidence, people believe you,” she says.
Some personal regrets that pushed her to swear off trends? “Anything from when the neon-colored jeans were in. And why was I wearing these or fringe sandals? I don’t even like sandals like that. But when the boho style was thriving, I would be like, I want to wear that too, just because everyone was wearing them,” she says. “But I’m not the boho girl, and I think you just have to know some trends are cute, but they’re just not for you.”

Kim Kardashian looks almost unrecognisable on the fourth cover of CR Fashion Book magazine. The celebrity opened up to editor-in-chief Carine Roitfeld and talked about things she hardly ever talks about in an interview for the photo series.
Kim Kardashian often changes her look in the name of fashion. But her latest photo shoot gave her a shocking new look that we’ve certainly never seen before.
The 42-year-old superstar debuted as the latest cover star for CR Fashion Book on Monday, and appeared in the magazine with a hairstyle that made her look almost unrecognisable. Kardashian is pictured wearing her trademark long, bombshell waves, a super-short wig and thread-thin eyebrows.
Kardashian’s cover story reveals small but thought-provoking details about her life, including telling reporters when she feels sexiest (“After a good workout, or when I wake up with messy hair and no makeup!” – she says) and the most peaceful (“When my kids are all asleep at home and I have some quiet time before I fall asleep”), as well as what motivates her to “do whatever it takes” in the fight for justice for incarcerated people. He even coyly revealed that John F. Kennedy Jr. is his “biggest celebrity crush”
