Kourtney Kardashian is once again addressing persistent pregnancy rumors, this time with a new series of family vacation photos shared on Instagram. The 46-year-old Lemme co-founder took to social media on Thursday, August 14, to share a glimpse of her idyllic trip to Italy with husband Travis Barker and their son, Rocky Thirteen. The post, which included a sweet family snap, is being seen as a direct rebuttal to recent speculation about her expanding family.
The photo, taken in North-west Italy, shows Kardashian with her husband, who has their 1-year-old son on his lap. The carousel of images also featured scenic shots of the Italian coastline, freshly made pasta, and a selfie of Kardashian herself, all captured before the family went sightseeing in Liguria. The post was captioned, “Moments before jumping in the water to see the Christ of the Abyss statue underwater. (Look it up 🤓).”

This recent post follows a series of comments from fans speculating that the reality star is pregnant again. In an earlier post from her Italian vacation, a commenter wrote, “RUMORS HAVE IT THAT YOU’RE PREGNANT, KOURTNEY.” Kardashian had a quick and witty response, writing, “Eating pancakes and jumping off cliffs 🤙🏼,” to shut down the speculation. In July, she also faced similar rumors while on a separate trip to Italy, to which she responded that her body’s changes were due to “breastfeeding, eating gelato, focaccia, pasta, not working out and living my best damn life baby.”

The constant stream of pregnancy speculation, which the article notes has been happening since before she had Rocky, is a source of frustration for Kardashian. She has previously been open about the physical and mental toll that IVF treatments have had on her body. By sharing candid photos of herself on vacation and directly addressing the rumors, the eldest Kardashian sister is making it clear that she is focused on enjoying her time with her husband and their four children, which include her three kids with ex-boyfriend Scott Disick: Mason, Penelope, and Reign. The family photo with Travis and Rocky is a particularly powerful way for her to show that she is content and happy with her family as it is.
