Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker's first child is already giving off rock-star energy. Just a few days after Kardashian announced she's pregnant at her husband's Blink-182 concert at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles on June 16 by holding up a handwritten sign that read "Travis I'm Pregnant" (an exciting moment that POPSUGAR was there to witness), the Lemme founder and Barker revealed the sex of their baby with an actual drumroll.
On June 24, the couple shared a video on Instagram [1] revealing they're expecting a boy. In the video, Kardashian wore a white bodysuit over black leggings and sat on her husband's lap behind his drums. "Is our pyro guy ready?" Barker asked his wife in the video. "I don't know what's happening, whatever you guys had planned," she replied.
From there, Barker began a drumroll that culminated with an explosion of blue streamers. The clearly emotional couple then wrapped their arms around one another as a crowd just out of frame cheered.

After her initial pregnancy announcement, Kardashian doubled down on sharing the exciting news by posting a video of herself with the sign on Instagram. Her sister Kim Kardashian [3] — whom she's been feuding with on currently airing episodes [4] of "The Kardashians" — was among the top comments, posting a pregnant-woman emoji and some other happy faces.

Barker and Kardashian were married [6] in 2022. She shares three children [7] — daughter Penelope and sons Mason and Reign — with ex Scott Disick. Barker is also a dad of three [8]. He shares stepdaughter Atiana, daughter Alabama, and son Landon with his ex-wife Shanna Moakler.
In a July 19 interview with Complex [9], Barker discussed GOAT baby names with Alabama, revealing that he likes Rocky Thirteen. "That's this name that's just been going through my head," Barker tells his daughter. "Rocky George played guitar for Suicidal Tendencies and 13 is just the greatest number of all time." When Alabama asks her dad if she's going to name his baby Rocky Thirteen, Barker says, "Possibly."
During an appearance on the "One Life One Chance" podcast on Oct. 30, Barker seemingly confirmed that his baby will be named Rocky when discussing a benefit concert for Hawaii. "There's a benefit for Hawaii that we were going to do, but it's the week that Rocky's due," Barker said.
"Rocky Thirteen Barker," host Toby Morse said as Barker repeated, "Rocky Thirteen Barker."
He also confirmed the baby's due date to Morse. "It's either Halloween [10]," he said, "or like the first week of November."
Kardashian and Barker had been very open about their journey with IVF [11] in previous years. The couple documented their attempts to get pregnant on "The Kardashians," with the former ultimately announcing last fall that she was "for now done with IVF" due to the "toll on my health and my — just even mentally — the hormones, the medication." Ultimately, of getting pregnant, Kardashian Barker said, "I feel truly, like if it's meant to be, it'll happen."
