Kourtney Kardashian pregnant
It's Gossip Time!
Hello and welcome to Gossip Time, a weekly guide to the stars by Allie Jones. This week: a reality star gets pregnant, two actors get matching necklaces, and Prince Harry gets ideas.

Kourtney Kardashian is pregnant! The eldest Kardashian sister announced the news at her husband Travis Barker’s Blink-182 concert in L.A. last Friday with a poster inspired by the band’s 1999 music video for “All the Small Things.”
She followed that up with an Instagram photo of Barker pretending to drum on her baby bump alongside a caption thanking God:
Kardashian, 44, already has three kids with her ex-boyfriend Scott Disick: Mason, 13, Penelope, 10, and Reign, 8. Barker, 47, has two kids with his ex-wife Shanna Moakler: Alabama, 19, and Landon, 17. He also acts as a stepfather to Moakler’s older daughter with Oscar de la Hoya, Atiana, 24. Kardashian and Barker made their quest for a baby their main storyline on the last season of The Kardashians, so this news is not exactly surprising. Kardashian did say on the new season, which premiered in May, that she had stopped IVF; it’s not clear if she started back up again at some point.
Kardashian hasn’t revealed many details about the pregnancy since the announcement, but she did ask her followers about their “favorite clean body care for during pregnancy” yesterday. Fans followed up with several options, many of them produced by multi-level marketing companies. Kardashian thanked them and promised, “I won’t tell you my husband’s response.” Please don’t!
Now we must ask: What will Kourtney’s sister and primary antagonist Kim Kardashian do about this news? Of course, she publicly congratulated Kourtney on the pregnancy. But the last time Kourtney had great, headline-making relationship news, Kim upstaged her by leaking that she was dating Pete Davidson not two weeks later.
Kim has been hinting in recent interviews that she has a “celebrity crush.” Perhaps we will learn this person’s name sometime around the 4th of July.
In more happy news, Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire got matching friendship necklaces. The pair, who are the most famous members of the “Wolf Pack” (formerly known as the Pussy Posse) debuted them to the public on a joint trip to Paris this week. They were both photographed walking into the Hotel Plaza Athénée wearing black Dodgers hats, black shirts, navy jackets, and pendant necklaces emblazoned with the faces of wolves. Cute!!!
As far as we know, both DiCaprio, 48, and Maguire, 47, are single right now. Maguire broke up with model Tatiana Dieteman at the end of 2021, and DiCaprio said goodbye to model and actress Camila Morrone last summer, just after she turned 25. Since then, DiCaprio has been linked to Gigi Hadid several times, but that relationship seems to be going nowhere. Perhaps DiCaprio’s buddy, the CAA agent-turned-venture-capitalist Michael Kives, can set these two up with sisters or something. (This is only tangentially related, but I highly recommend reading this new report on Kives’s behind-the-scenes Hollywood networking on behalf of disgraced crypto founder Sam Bankman-Fried. DiCaprio makes several appearances, as do Orlando Bloom, Katy Perry, and Kate Hudson. Embarrassing for everyone!)
Speaking of significant outfit choices: Olivia Wilde was once again photographed walking out of the gym this week, and she was WEARING A T-SHIRT THAT BELONGS TO HARRY STYLES. Does this mean they are getting back together? Or he never got around to picking up his stuff from her house? Or he didn’t even like this T-shirt to begin with? I guess I don’t care.
STUFF BY HILARY DUFF: This week, Hilary Duff gave the trendy Owala water bottle her stamp of approval.
Finally, I will leave you with the latest reporting on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s unproductive tenure at Spotify. According to Bloomberg, Harry had some ideas for podcasts that never quite got off the ground:
