Has the first Kravis baby arrived? Fans think Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker have secretly welcomed their baby boy, given the reality TV star's recent interest in sharing throwback snaps.
The "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" alum has kept fans updated about her fourth pregnancy since dropping the big news. From her adorable baby announcement to the unborn child's gender reveal, Kardashian's social media page is frequently filled with baby bump posts.
However, the soon-to-be mother of four has stopped sharing news about her baby's development. The updates coincidentally ended after the entertainer received backlash for her "insensitive" comments amid Hawaii's wildfires, but her followers believed she might have popped the bun in her oven.
Kourtney Kardashian's Trips Down Memory Lane Raises Eyebrows About Her Delivery Date
This week kicked off with the Poosh founder sharing a carousel of old pictures detailing her 2017 trip to the former maximum security federal prison on Alcatraz Island, off the coast of San Francisco, California.

The ex-US Penitentiary, famously known as The Rock, now serves as a public museum. The socialite visited the tourist attraction with her younger sister, Khloé Kardashian — during an episode of "KUWTK" — who was mainly behind the camera in the snaps.
The prison cells, cafeteria, and other parts of the Alcatraz building were highlighted in the slideshow, alongside a fun video of the Kardashian siblings teasing each other. "Alcatraz Island, San Francisco, October 2017," the socialite captioned the post.
As stated above, the Lemme health brand founder's throwback carousel sparked suspicions about her pregnancy, as many believed she had welcomed her fourth child. One fan noted the TV personality habitually dropped old pictures whenever she had big news.
"Okay, last time she was posting throwbacks over and over, she hadn't announced her pregnancy yet. Has she given birth?" The individual wondered. Another chimed: "Girl did you have your baby, and that's why you posting oldies."
"Bet that baby is here, or very close!" a third surmised. Echoing similar thoughts with the majority, a fourth penned: "I was literally just thinking about you – like she's been quiet. Baby? ~"
More baby claims flooded the comment section with another asking for clarity: "She gave birth?" While a wannabe detective declared, "Baby must be here. Lots of throwbacks recently." A few days before her Alcatraz Island photodump, the 44-year-old shared another carousel of throwback snaps from her blonde era.
Kardashian had her followers thinking of the iconic Britney Spears with rare pictures of her pre-pregnancy self. In the images, the "Filthy Rich: Cattle Drive" participant rocked a dazzling pink lingerie designed with black ruffles along the neckline and hem.
The latex number stuck to the entertainer like a second skin accentuating her curves as she struck enticing poses. Her blonde tresses were styled in a messy low bun with side-swept bangs, while her feet were adorned in black open-toe heels.
Despite receiving over a million likes for her sexy post, the comments were filled with mixed reactions. Some compared Kardashian's look to the beloved Princess of Pop, while others tagged the pictures as unappealing.
One critic penned: “You look like the new Britney Spears here. Trashy, in fact.” Another quipped: “You look like you just got back from rehab, and it didn’t help.”
The Oldest Of The Karjenner Siblings Allegedly Planned On Leaving Her Family's TV Show
If fans' suspicions about the "Kardashian Konfidential" co-author are correct, it probably means Kourtney's days as part of her family's Hulu series are numbered. A month before the California native stopped sharing baby bump updates, sources claimed the socialite planned on leaving "The Kardashians."
According to the insider, some members of the famous clan were concerned about the baby's impact on the 44-year-old's career alongside her feud with her younger sister, Kim Kardashian. The informant explained:
“The drama and tension have been building for a while – Kim and Kourt just don’t get along right now, and Kourt is finding it too much hard work. She resents being dictated to by Kim and also thinks the show is so dull.”
Given her issues with the KKW Beauty founder and her disinterest in the reality TV series, the insider claimed Kourtney planned on using her pregnancy to escape. “She’s done, and the pregnancy and soon-to-be baby is her perfect reason to bow out,” the informant revealed.
“She wants to scale back, and she also wants to take a big break when the baby arrives, saying that family is going to be her only priority,” the source added, implying the entertainer would drop out of filming after welcoming her son.
