A FOURTH child could be in Kourtney Kardashian’s future after she revealed that she froze her eggs at age 39.
The Keeping Up With The Kardashian‘s star formally announced her new relationship with Blink-182 star Travis Barker on Valentine’s Day.
Kourtney, 41, recently opened up about her possibility for another baby during an interview with Sarah Hyland on Ellen Tube’s new show, Lady Parts, this past Tuesday.
The celebrities discussed freezing eggs in order to lengthen your childbirth years and sustain the ability for more kids.
“I froze mine too,” Kourtney began, though she admitted that she wasn’t so sure about the process ahead of time.
“You did?” Sarah replied, shocked, while the Poosh founder confirmed: “Hopefully they’re sitting there okay. Yeah, you never know.”
“I really got talked into it,” she continued, when her younger sister Khloe Kardashian, 36, jumped in: “I was going to say, it wasn’t an easy thing to convince her to do that.”
“I was like okay, whatever, I’ll do it one time. Since everyone else is doing it I might as well,” Kourtney added.
The Modern Family star then asked the mom of three: “So how old were you Kourtney when you froze your eggs?”
“I believe I was 39,” she recalled.
“Did freezing your eggs, or freezing embryos, did that make you feel empowered for having control over your own body, and being able to enjoy sex and taking the pressure off having children immediately?” Sarah then inquried.
“I think it gave me a feeling of like taking a deep breath. You know I was 39 and I was about to turn 40, and everyone was like ‘if you’re going to do it you gotta do it now’ and so I think just having that like ‘okay everyone stop rushing me.’
“‘I don’t even know if I want to have another kid or if that’s like in the future’ or whatever, so I just think doing that and having the control over my body, it just gave me peace of mind,” she explained.
Khloe then opened up about her own experience with egg freezing, as she confessed that she wasn’t sure about having another child after her daughter True, two, and the decision to freeze helped her relax over the worry of future plans.
Kourtney already shares three children with ex-boyfriend Scott Disick, Mason, 11, Penelope, eight, and Reign, six.
The reality star recently went public with her relationship with Travis Barker, though the couple has been friends for years.
A source told PEOPLE last week that Kourtney is “really happy” with the rocker, and that she enjoys his “maturity.”
“Kourtney and Travis have a long, long history and years of friendship. They’ve felt like family for years, and she’s really close with Alabama, who’s just a cool rock star kid.
“Travis is a super smooth guy and women love him, but he’s not a player. He’s really, really nice, chill and is an adult.
