“Sounds staged”: Why do fans feel that Kourtney Kardashian’s surprise pregnancy announcement was fake?

Kourtney Kardashian, the founder of Poosh, recently shared the news of her pregnancy with the world and her husband, Travis Barker, during his concert. The Kardashians cast member was seen holding a sign that read “Travis I’m pregnant” as her husband performed on stage.

While fans were happy for the couple, who got married in May 2022, they found it hard to believe the incident since Kourtney was showing an evident baby belly. So, it is odd that the musician didn’t know that his wife was pregnant.

As it happened, fans took to social media to call the incident staged, claiming that there’s no way that Travis didn’t know. They argued that she was pregnant for long enough to carry the baby bump.

Although fans took to social media to congratulate the couple, with some expressing their happiness for them, many followers of The Kardashian called Kourtney’s pregnancy announcement staged.

However, another section of the fans rushed to the reality TV star's support and clarifyied that they recreated a scene from all the Small Things music video, which was the band’s (Blink-182) most famous song.

While this will be the couple’s first child together, they both have children from previous partners.

Travis Barker’s ex wife, Shanna Moakler, recently opened up about Kourtney Kardashian’s pregnancy announcement on Instagram. She revealed that she’s known for years ahead of the concert where the reality star showed up with the sign board. Shanna further wrote in the comments section of her latest post on Instagram, where followers asked about her thoughts on the same.

She added that it’s not new to her since she’s known about it for weeks. Shanna was not the only one who showed support about the announcement, Kourtney Kardashian’s sisters Kim and Khloe also took to social media to congratulate her sister. Kim called the baby “Kravis.”

Shanna and Travis met in 2002 and welcomed their son Landon the following year. They tied the knot in 2004 after being together for two years and the following year, the duo starred in their reality show, Meet The Barkers.

The show was on air for two seasons before Travis pulled the plug due to its “toxic energy” that resulted in the end of their marriage. In 2005, the couple also welcomed their daughter Alabama Luella, which was showcased during the finale of the show.

Following this, Kourtney and Travis got together in 2021 after being friends for a long time. They tied the knot in 2022.
