NEED TO KNOW
Kourtney Kardashian Barker is shutting down speculations about her body.
The Lemme co-founder, 46, hit back after a follower left a comment on her July 17 Instagram post in which she rounded up her time spent on an Italian vacation with her family. “You can tell from the bikini reflection photo kourtney is pregnant again,” the user wrote.
“Or breastfeeding, eating gelato, focaccia, pasta, not working out and living my best damn life baby,” Kardashian Barker commented back.

Kardashian Barker shares her daughter Penelope and sons Mason and Reign with ex Scott Disick. She is also mom to son Rocky Thirteen, whom she welcomed in November 2023 with husband Travis Barker.
This isn’t the first time Kardashian Barker has hit back after a follower criticized the way she looks. In April 2024, the mom of four’s sister, Kim Kardashian, wished Kardashian Barker a “Happy Birthday” via social media with a bikini shot of themselves with younger sister Khloé Kardashian.
As the trio posed for a bit of fun in the sun on vacation, some Instagram users instead used the celebratory moment as an opportunity to critique the then-new mom, which prompted a response from the Poosh founder.
“Now you know she’s not going to like this photo… lol it’s her bday Kim.. lol,” one person wrote.
“I LOVE this photo! It is me and my sisters having the best time on a trip with our kids… and the memories to last forever! And I LOVE this body that gave me my 3 big babies and my little baby boy,” Kardashian Barker replied.
During a 2022 episode of The Kardashians, Kardashian Barker opened up about body image and learning to accept her new size after revealing she gained weight throughout her IVF journey.
“So obviously my body’s changed. But it was all of the hormones that the doctors put me on,” the Lemme founder said on the show. “Eight months of IVF treatment has definitely taken a toll on my body mentally and physically. I think it’s taken me a lot to get me to the place of feeling really comfortable and happy with the changes.”
Kardashian Barker said that it can be tough seeing social media comments about her weight, but having Barker in her corner has made her “so into” her new body. “Every day, Travis is like, ‘You’re perfect,'” she said. “If I make one complaint, he’s like, ‘You’re perfect. You’re so fine… You’ve never been better.'”
“Having a partner who is so supportive of me and always complimenting me, no matter what, it’s just helped me to really embrace the changes and actually to the point where I love the changes now,” Kardashian Barker added.
