This week saw the season 3 premiere for The Kardashians on Hulu.
The episode featured a lot, from a real-life jetpack to the unenviable misadventure of James Corden’s appearance.
Viewers were also able to catch up with Kourtney and Travis. As we know, the two were in a fertility journey.
were, past tense. Kourt shared that they were giving up on the in vitro and placing their trust in a higher power.
In Season 3, Episode 1 of The KardashiansKourtney, 44, spoke to both Khloe and the confessional camera about this topic.
“We are officially done with IVF,” he told viewers.
“We would love a baby more than anything,” Kourtney stated during the episode.
“But,” Kourt expressed, “I really believe in what God has in store for us.”
That could, of course, mean almost anything.
“If that’s a baby,” he continued, “then I think it will happen.”
When Kourtney and Travis started dating, she went ahead and took the sensible step of freezing some of her eggs.
Specifically, he froze seven of them. (It’s not like sperm, folks: without medical intervention, the eggs are released one at a time, often on a regular schedule.)
However, Kourt shared that most of her eggs “didn’t survive” in the end.
Additionally, Kourtney shared that none of those seven eggs “made it to the embryo.” That happens sometimes.
“The freezing of the eggs is not guaranteed,” he explained, in case anyone believed otherwise.
“I think that’s a misunderstanding,” Kourtney said thoughtfully into the camera. “People do it thinking it’s like a safety net and it’s not.”
Now, this is not catastrophic news. Kourtney and Travis are already parents to wonderful, incredible children.
Kourtney has 13-year-old Mason, 10-year-old Penelope, and 8-year-old Reign. His father is Scott Disick. And Travis has Landon, Alabama, and his stepsister Atiana.
But even though they already have a real Brady Bunch situation in her hands, Kourt is clearly putting a brave face on this.
A brave face and a positive spin.
Being negative, you see, is for the poor.
“Whatever it’s meant to be,” Kourtney continued. “Being happy is the most important thing and being a good father to my children.”
So, Kourtney and Travis are still trying, but instead of shooting their IVF shot, they’re doing it naturally.
As it turned out, Kourtney was late for her meeting with Khloe. Khloe actually started a stopwatch and timed her, which was shady in a very sibling-friendly way.
“I know I’m late for you, but I’m ovulating,” Kourt told her before beginning. “If you give us five minutes to do something very quickly… we’ll be back.”
After the fact, Kourtney called the nearly 15-minute breeding session a “record” time.
“I have been adjusting to life. Wife life is amazing,” she said.
Well, we are all very happy for her. Presumably, Travis is also having a great time.
