Her 2023 pregnancy may have come as somewhat as a surprise to long-term fans, but Kourtney Kardashian has this week insisted she's definitely not with child once again.
The reality TV star was forced to hit back at ongoing speculation that she and husband Travis Barker have another bun in the oven, taking to Instagram with a fiery statement on Thursday (17 Jul).
Kourtney, 46, welcomed her fourth child almost two years ago - her first with the Blink-182 rapper, whom she wed in Portofino, Italy in 2022. The couple welcomed a son Rocky, who is fast approaching 20 months.
The Kardashians star is also mother to sons Mason, 15, and Reign, ten, as well as 13-year-old daughter Penelope.

She shares the trio with ex-partner Scott Disick, who appeared alongside Kourtney on her family's hit television series for several years until their final 2015 break-up.
Despite being 44 when she became pregnant with her youngest - which is considered globally by medics as an advanced maternal age - fans have since theorised that the star may be growing baby no. 5 at this very minute.
Unfortunately for Kourtney, however, such theories have prompted certain individuals to take to her social media account, where they recently flooded the comment section of her recent pool-side pic with said rumours.
So much so, that the mother-of-four this week felt she had to respond.
"You can tell from the bikini reflection photo kourtney is pregnant again," one person commented.
Replying, she wrote that - as opposed to expecting another child - she has been 'breastfeeding, eating gelato, focaccia, pasta, not working out and living my best damn life baby!'.
And if that didn't clear things up, we think a remark she recently penned on her Poosh website makes it pretty evident where Kourtney stands on postpartum life.
"The most important thing is to listen to your body and to do what you’re doing for you, not for society’s standards of getting your body back, because they are unrealistic," she previously wrote.
"This was my journey. It wasn’t until Reign was probably 4 months old that I felt this desire to be in the best shape of my life."
Kourtney shared a similar sentiment on Instagram back in April, hinting she's done with bottles and birthing plans.
"Your body is beautiful at all stages," she wrote on her story at the time.
"During pregnancy, as we are glowing and growing, postpartum, as we are healing and shrinking, and then that period I find the hardest, as our bodies are still adjusting.
"And if you're breastfeeding, that's a whole other part of it."
The star continued: "I try to be kind to myself as my body finds a new normal.
"The pressure put on us to bounce back when everything is new and different isn't realistic. Life is too beautiful, you are beautiful. Just a little reminder (for me too ;)."
