The pair each have three kids of their own from previous relationships. Kourtney is mom to Mason, 14, Penelope, 11, and Reign, 9, all of whom she shares with her ex Scott Disick. Meanwhile, Travis shares Landon, 20, Alabama, 17, and his stepdaughter, Atiana, 24, with his ex-wife Shanna Moakler.
Kourtney hasn’t offered any major details about her new baby boy. However, she gave fans a little insight into how she’s coping two months after his birth with a new message on Instagram this week.

Taking to her stories, Kourt shared a video of herself on a treadmill and wrote, “7 weeks postpartum : first day in the gym doing 30 minutes walking 3.0 12.0 incline.”

Now, if you’ve been following the Kardashians over the years, you’ll know that Kourtney’s attitude toward her postpartum body today couldn’t be more different from how it was after the births of her other kids.

After Kourtney welcomed Mason in 2009, she went to extreme lengths to get into shape for a bikini photo shoot, following strict diet and exercise routines for weeks. She later revealed during an episode of Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami that she actually collapsed as a result of the regimens.

“I was just running down the beach like I always have been lately. And then I just woke up. I didn’t eat anything this morning,” she said. Khloé added that Kourtney hadn’t “been eating a whole lot at all,” while Kourt later admitted she was “so embarrassed” that she’d “punished” her body “for a photo shoot.”

“I’ve been obsessing about this weight thing a little too much,” Kourt added.
When it came to her second child, Penelope, Kourtney attempted to navigate things a little differently, admitting during a conversation with Scott that she’d gone “overboard” with her diet and exercise after welcoming Mason.

However, sadly for Kourt, Scott urged her to hurry up and lose weight — even after she explained that she was trying to do so “the healthy way.”

“Do it the healthy way, just do it faster,” Scott told her three months after Penelope’s birth, before calling her his “piece of machinery.” Kourtney was left in tears by her then-boyfriend’s remarks, and he later doubled down on his stance while addressing the huge backlash he’d sparked.

“Never realized how upset people get when a person makes a comment about weight,” he tweeted before later adding, “P.s anyone who has to much to say probably had to much to eat. #fatasses.”
