It only takes one innocent picture to ignite a huge rumor that Kourtney Kardashian is pregnant with baby number four that, eventually, ends up in the headlines. But instead of getting irritated or denying the assumption, it looks like the 40-year-old star is even wishing for it.
It all started when the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star shared a sexy photo of herself on Instagram. She was wearing an orange button-up dress, exposing her tummy and legs. Although her stomach looked so flat, one follower quickly commented that she is pregnant, while another chimed in and said, "nope, wish she was."
Upon seeing the exchange, Kourtney Kardashian cleared the rumor and only responded with, "Put the blessing out there though" and added praying hands emoji, wishing it was true. It is not the first time that she expressed her desire to have a new baby.
According to E! News, the television personality was also the subject of pregnancy rumors in January and told a fan that she wasn't pregnant but wishing to be. Her former partner, Scott Disick, also liked the idea to have another kid with the POOSH founder. Although they already parted ways in 2015, and he is now in a relationship with Sofia Richie.
So, as Kourtney Kardashian plans to give her kids, Mason, Penelope, and Reign, another sibling in the future, she said in 2018 that she was considering freezing her eggs. She told Kim Kardashian that if she wanted to have a baby in the next ten years, she should have an assurance that she could do so. However, at the time, she wasn't fully decided yet.
Now that the mother-of-three has a lot of time in her hands to push her plan for baby number four after she stepped back from filming Keeping Up with the Kardashians, following a physical brawl with Kim Kardashian. The socialite said in an episode of their reality show that doing the series doesn't make her happy anymore, Us Weekly noted. She, too, doesn't want to miss out on her time with her kids, saying being away from them is "not worth it."
"It just seems like [my sisters] put the show and work above my happiness, and it's caused this distance between us," she explained. In a tweet, Kourtney Kardashian revealed she wouldn't live-tweet KUTWK episode at the time, as she would like to spend her time with her children while they are on a spring break, stressing that raising kids is also a job and its' the "hardest and most rewarding" job she has ever had.
