Recently, Kourtney and Travis spoke publicly about wanting to have a baby and in the trailer for the Kardashian family's new reality TV show, Kourtney confirmed that she is undergoing IVF treatment.
“Travis and I want to have a baby," she said. "And so my doctor took us down this road of doing IVF. It hasn’t been the most amazing experience.”
But even if the conversation following the couple's appearance at the Oscars was taking this into account, it seemed to solely focus on her slightly protruding tummy.
Take the comments on a TikTok of the pair arriving at the ceremony, posted on E! news' official account, as an example. The comment section was full of remarks like : "I see a baby bump", "omg she's prego", and "omg her belly!!".
Meanwhile, another person pondered: "Why can a woman not just have a little tummy or be bloated without everyone immediately jumping to pregnancy?"
It's not the first time the star has had had to deal with this level of speculation, or explain herself for not having a completely flat stomach.

In 2020, Kourtney shut down a commentator who asked if she was pregnant, saying: “This is me when I have a few extra pounds on, and I actually love it. I have given birth three amazing times and this is the shape of my body.”
And on a Poosh Instagram Live chat around the same time, Kourtney addressed some speculative comments she had been receiving on Instagram. “So many of the comments were like, ‘Are you pregnant? Baby No. 4?’ … I could’ve taken that offensively … but I know that I didn’t look pregnant. I know what my body looks like when I’m pregnant. I’ve been pregnant three times. It’s very feminine to have curves and I embrace my body, so I didn’t take it offensively."
