Kourtney Kardashian, the 44-year-old reality television star and fashion entrepreneur, and her husband, 47-year-old Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, will soon be parents. Kardashian made the announcement at a Blink-182 show at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles on Friday night, by holding a sign that read “TRAVIS I’M PREGNANT,” which was then put up on the arena’s video screens. 

With cheering from his bandmates, the heavily tattooed Barker, wearing no shirt and a wool cap, came out from behind the drum kit to give his bride a smooch. As is the Kardashian way, all of this was captured on Instagram.

V.F. has reached out to representatives for both Kardashian and Barker, but did not hear back.

On her Instagram Stories, following some ads for Matcha tea, Kardashian shared another angle of the announcement video. According to People, it was shot by her longtime friend Simon Huck. Another video on her Stories tipped the couple’s hand a bit for the evening’s inspiration. 

True heads know that the “TRAVIS I’M PREGNANT” sign is a reference to classic Blink-182 lore. We’ve embedded the group’s 1999 video for the tune “All The Small Things” below. Should you hit play, two things will happen. One, you will say “Oh, I know this song!” After a parade of goofy, self-effacing imagery, you’ll see one of the band’s fans holding a sign very similar to Kourtney’s at 2:29 mark. (The one in the video is yellow, though.)

A woman described as “crazed” by TMZ was arrested, according to their report, in Los Angeles after making multiple attempts to make contact with Blink-182 drummer (and Kourtney Kardashian’s husband) Travis Barker. 

The outlet says that the woman, a fan, made several entreaties to security to be allowed into Barker’s Los Angeles home. After she was continuously turned away, she rammed her automobile into the gate. The outlet says she “drove through,” but was detained by Barker’s security team until law enforcement could arrive.

The pop-punk drummer wasn’t home anyway. He was with his group, Blink-182, rehearsing for this Sunday’s big gig at Coachella. (As it happens, the show comes with a degree of notoriety, as the Enema of the State artists are replacing Frank Ocean, who canceled his second appearance after a controversial performance on opening weekend.)

TMZ further reported that, according to their sources, the woman explained that she believed she had communicated with Barker via social media, and had been invited top drop by. This is why verification is important!

V.F. has reached out to Barker’s team for further comment, but did not immediately hear back. 

Earlier this week, Barker fêted his bride on her 44th birthday, and gave her a piece of original art by Yoshitomo Nara worth $160,000. In less than a month, the two will celebrate one year of matrimony. Last May the small Italian village of Portofino (which rests on the upper front thigh of the boot) saw its typical population of under 400 grow when the traveling Kardashian carnival celebrated their wedding. (One of three, oddly enough.)

In October 2022 the couple purchased a $14.5 million Santa Barbara beach house from Conan O’Brien. (He reportedly bought it in 2015 for under $8 million and “completely renovated it.” Good investment, Conan!) Just a few weeks earlier, though, Kardashian drew some attention for declaring that she and Barker felt no rush to move in together and blend their families with a permanent address. “I get up at six in the morning and I carpool every morning and then I go straight to his house and have matcha,” she said, detailing her routine on a podcast. Whatever works!

Architectural Digest referred to Barker’s home as “surprisingly tranquil,” in a 2022 story. It is “a block away” from “Kourtney’s great house,” Barker told the magazine.
