I have a whole new understanding and respect for the mamas who have had to fight for their babies while pregnant.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kourtney Kardashian Barker (@kourtneykardash) Kardashian, 44, shares her three children—sons Reign, 8, and Mason, 13, plus daughter Penelope, 11—with her ex, Scott Disick.
