Kourtney Kardashian surprised Travis Barker with the news that she's pregnant while at one of their gigs, and she managed to do it with an incredible reference to one of their hit tracks.
The reality TV star was in the crowd as the band performed in Los Angeles yesterday (16 June) as part of their first world tour in nine years with original guitarist Tom DeLonge.
Anyone who's ever been to see the group live will know that they like to take a break between tracks to crack jokes and tell stories, but during one break last night, DeLonge called attention to the fact there was an 'announcement' to be made.

He drew Barker's attention to Kardashian, whose image was being cast over the big screen at the venue as she held up a sign which read 'Travis I'm pregnant'.
The amazing news comes after the husband and wife had previously been candid about their struggles to conceive, with Kardashian revealing on an episode of The Kardashians that they would 'love a baby more than anything'.
They had previously underwent IVF treatment, but gave up when it proved unsuccessful.

As a result, Kardashian obviously wanted the announcement of her pregnancy to be a memorable moment, and what better way to surprise her husband than with a Blink reference in the middle of a gig?
If you're a fan of the band, then you'll probably know that Kardashian actually isn't the only person to ever hold up a sign reading 'Travis I'm pregnant' while watching the band perform.
Such signs have actually become a bit of a meme over the years, and it all stems from one of Blink's first big tracks, 'All The Small Things'.
The music video for the song, released in 1999, sees the band perform in an airport hangar to a small group of obsessed fans, many of who are jumping up and down and holding signs in the air, just like Kardashian was.

In between other scenes of the group blowing kisses and pulling what I suppose are supposed to be seductive faces, we see Barker rolling around in the sand with a woman dressed in a leopard print bikini.
She pops up again later in the video, this time holding a yellow sign reading - you guessed it - 'Travis I'm pregnant'.
And Kardashian has been praised for the way she included the reference in her announcement, with one fan commenting: "Kourtney announcing her pregnancy at the @blink182 concert holding up the “Travis I’m Pregnant” sign like the All The Small Things Music video is too cute."

Unlike in the music video, Barker paid much better attention to the sign this time as he jumped from the stage to give Kardashian a hug.
