LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kourtney Kardashian has been seemingly rebuffed by some of her closest relatives after she shared the joyous news of her pregnancy at a Blink-182 concert on Friday night, June 16. So far, only a few members of her family have expressed their excitement and acknowledged the unexpected news on social media.

In a sweet video, which has since gone viral, the Poosh founder was seen announcing her pregnancy by holding up a sign saying, "Travis I'm Pregnant" at the concert. The 44-year-old will be giving birth to her fourth child and first with her husband, Travis Barker, 47.
