Kourtney Kardashian Barker and Travis Barker got the best Valentine's Day gift.

On the latest episode of The Kardashians, the couple revealed that they were expecting. The pregnancy took the Lemme founder, 44, and the Blink-182 drummer, 48, by surprise after they had decided to take a break following a grueling IVF cycle.

"So much love, so much prayer went into this, and I just couldn't be happier for this blessing," Kris Jenner, 68, said in a confessional.

"It happened on Valentine's Day," Kourtney said of conceiving her little one. "I mean, people would always tell say to us, 'When you stop trying, it's just going to happen.'"

"We stopped doing IVF probably two months before our wedding and so it took a year for all those hormones and chemicals to get out of my system," she continued.

"We were not trying whatsoever. I wasn't even checking my ovulation anymore. We decided to put it in God's hands and thought it was just not happening. We were accepting of it and then... God's plan."

Later on, Kourtney said it "truly feels like a miracle being able to be pregnant and have a baby with the love of my life."

After Kardashian Barker gave birth to her fourth child, PEOPLE exclusively learned that Barker is “obsessed with their baby boy.”

The drummer is also father to son Landon, 20, daughter Alabama, 17, and stepdaughter Atiana De La Hoya, 24, with his ex-wife Shanna Moakler. Kardashian Barker shares sons Reign Aston, 8, and Mason Dash, 13, plus Penelope, 11, with ex Scott Disick.

In an interview with Vogue for their November issue, the Lemme founder shared that she "felt really pressured and pushed into doing IVF. It went against my intuition, and I didn't feel fully prepared for the mental or physical toll it takes."

She told the outlet that for her and Barker's 2022 wedding, they decided to pause in-vitro fertilization (IVF), a process that she had been documenting on her family's TV show.

"We just got pregnant naturally," Kardashian Barker revealed. "It was an indescribable feeling. Shock, then super-happy, fear sets in, worry, but I remembered then to have gratitude."

Elsewhere in the same interview, Kardashian Barker reflected on the urgent fetal surgery she received in September. "That experience opened my eyes to a whole new world of pregnancy that I didn't know about in the past," she said.

"It was terrifying. And I learned that insurance typically only covers two ultrasounds when you're pregnant, I had no idea," she continued. "I've always been lucky enough to do more than what insurance covers, and it's one of those ultrasounds that saved my baby's life."
