Kourtney Kardashian Barker attended her baby shower after testing positive for Covid-19.
At the premiere of Hulu's fifth seasonThe KardashiansKardashian Barker admitted that she and her husband Travis Barker had tested positive for Covid-19 the morning of their baby shower.
“The morning of my baby shower, I woke up and tested positive for Covid just as I was about to start getting ready,” she explained, adding that she sent her glam team home in light of the results. Unfortunately, Barker also contracted the virus.
“The first part of Travis' European tour is over, he flies home and we get him tested for Covid. He wants to take the test. He is negative. “We kissed for six hours and then I feel like he's hot, like his head feels really hot,” he recalled. “It's not a warm, really warm kind of kiss, and then it's positive for Covid.”
The news surprised her mother, Kris Jenner, who had organized the couple's Disneyland-themed baby shower and was expecting guests to arrive at any moment.
“I want to cry,” Jenner said. “Travis has COVID. I'm shaking. I just want Kourtney to be okay. It is a high risk pregnancy. “This is really crazy.”
Despite being infected with a contagious virus, Kardashian Barker attended the event after Jenner begged her to come see the decorations. She said: “I didn't know what to do and my mum said, 'Well, you have to come and see the baby shower.' You have to see what is happening here.' So I did it”.
At the event, they initially wore masks to prevent transmission of the virus, but once guests began arriving, they were placed at a table far away to maintain a social distance from the newcomers. She explained, “Everyone felt comfortable because we're outside and everyone wants us to enjoy our baby shower.”
In a confessional, the Kardashian matriarch explained why she didn't cancel the party.
“The shower starts in 20 minutes, right? So I think it's crazy to call 50 guests or 100 people and say, don't come. With all this delicious food and everything that is happening here and you have worked for two days to prepare it, I think everyone who comes has breakfast,” she said. “There are things you just have no control over, and the most important thing today is Kourtney's health and making sure she and the baby are okay.”
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, if someone tests positive for COVID-19, it is recommended to stay home, isolate, and wear a mask when around others to prevent the spread of the virus.
Season 5 of The Kardashians premiered on Hulu on Thursday, May 23.
