Kourtney Kardashian And Travis Barker Want Another Child – Preferably A Girl
Earlier this year, reports surfaced that the Lemme founder, 47, and the Blink-182 drummer, 50, definitely "want more kids." An insider told In Touch that although they are hoping to conceive naturally, they aren't ruling out going down the surrogate route either, as was the case for Kim Kardashian's two younger children, Chicago, 8, and Psalm, 6, and Khloé Kardashian's son Tatum, 3.
The source said they are "hoping for a girl this time" or even twins, adding: "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."
"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 continued, before referencing her sisters and adding: "It's worked out well for Kim and Khloé, so Kourtney has seen all the positives firsthand."
Kourtney Kardashian And Travis Barker Face Backlash For 'Neglecting' Their Other Children
If they do add another child to their brood, the couple would likely face even more criticism on social media, with some already accusing both Kourtney and Travis of neglecting their other children, particularly Kourtney's who are much younger.
The Poosh founder shares three children with ex Scott Disick: Mason Disick, 16, Penelope Disick, 13, and Reign Disick, 11. Travis is father to Landon Barker, 22, and Alabama Barker, 20, and stepfather to Atiana De La Hoya, 27, who he helped raise during his marriage to Shanna Moakler.
Kourtney and Travis share son Rocky, who turned 2 in November. Kourtney recently faced backlash when she shared a heartfelt tribute to baby Rocky on his second birthday, with critics pointing out that she doesn't appear to post the same kind of lengthy messages for her other children.
"Her other kids didn't get this message," one said at the time, as a second replied: "I was just about to say, did she put a long [expletive] message for her other kids?"
"I was just thinking that. It's like her other kids mean nothing to her and this kid because he's from Travis is her entire world. Kinda sad, really," added a third, while a fourth slammed: "She doesn't even do this for her 3 oldest." A fifth concurred: "She neglects her other kids."
