Kourtney Kardashian Barker recently shared details about her socially distanced baby shower, which took place while she and her husband, Travis Barker, were both battling COVID-19. On the premiere episode of Season Five of “The Kardashians,” Kardashian Barker revealed that she tested positive for COVID on the day of her baby shower. Travis Barker, who had just returned from a European tour, also tested positive after spending time with her. Despite their diagnoses, Kardashian Barker’s mother, Kris Jenner, decided to go ahead with the baby shower, which she had planned as a Disney-themed event.
Before attending the shower, Jenner instructed her daughter and son-in-law to wear masks at all times and to socially distance themselves from the guests. However, once they arrived at the event, they found that their guests were eager for them to stay and enjoy the celebration. Despite feeling uncertain about whether to attend, Kardashian Barker ultimately decided to go to the shower to see the decorations her mom had arranged. The decision was met with concern from Jenner, who expressed worry about Kardashian Barker’s high-risk pregnancy and the potential implications of contracting the virus while pregnant.
Jenner defended her decision to go ahead with the baby shower by highlighting the effort that had gone into planning the event. She expressed reluctance to cancel the celebration at the last minute and wanted to ensure that Kardashian Barker and her baby were safe and healthy. While the CDC recommends isolating and staying home if one tests positive for COVID-19, Jenner’s priority was to make the most out of the event that had been meticulously planned for days. Ultimately, the safety and health of Kardashian Barker and her baby were of utmost importance.
The situation underscored the challenges of navigating social gatherings during a time when COVID-19 is still a threat. Despite the precautions taken, Kardashian Barker and her husband still contracted the virus and had to deal with the consequences. The episode shed light on the difficult decisions that individuals and families have had to make when faced with such circumstances, balancing the desire to celebrate important milestones with the need to prioritize health and safety.
As the pandemic continues, the importance of following guidelines and recommendations from health authorities remains crucial. Taking steps to prevent the spread of COVID-19, such as isolating when sick, wearing masks, and practicing social distancing, can help protect oneself and others from getting infected. The experience shared by Kardashian Barker serves as a reminder of the realities of living during a pandemic and the need to prioritize health and safety above all else, even when faced with challenging circumstances.
