Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker threw an extravagant baby shower at her mum Kris Jenner’s house to celebrate their new baby boy together, but after Travis tested positive for coronavirus two days prior, the couple stayed separate from their fellow partygoers.

In pictures shared on Instagram Stories by Travis’ stepdaughter Atiana, she revealed it was a ‘social distance shower’ and later posted a video of herself on FaceTime to her dad and Kourtney while they sat metres away in the same garden.

In the season five of The Kardashians, Kourtney rang her mum Kris Jenner to tell her she couldn't come to the baby shower after she too tested positive, but after showing up before the guests arrived they decided to stay, sitting away from their friends and family with masks on.

The celebration came just a few weeks after Kourtney underwent emergency fetal surgery earlier this month.

Guests were greeted by a barber shop group before being given a Mickey Mouse hat to wear for the day embroidered with their name. 'Baby Barker’ even had a hat of his own.

Tables adorned with Disney-themed food and drink filled the house, with Mickey-shaped pancakes, pretzels and even personalised latte art.

There was even a Snow White-inspired apple tree and huge dessert table, complete with tiered cakes, luxurious pastries, Mickey-shaped ice cream sandwiches and jars of sweets.

If that wasn’t enough, one table was entirely Alice in Wonderland-themed, including tiny mouse-shaped butter, mini drinks and of course an array of china teacups.

Huge hydrangeas decorated the garden, with giant bouquets dotted around between the food tables.

As Kourtney posted for photos with her guests she stood well away, keeping her distance after she and husband Travis tested positive for Covid-19, days before his band's European tour dates.

Travis posted a few photos from the event, including one of Kourtney showing off her growing baby bump in her snakeskin-print jumpsuit, standing in front of a huge sign by the swimming pool which read, ‘Baby Barker.’

He also shared a picture of one of the cakes, a Mickey Mouse design of Steamboat Willie on top of a baby bottle with the words, ‘baby Barker’ in icing.

In September Kourtney was rushed to hospital for ‘urgent’ fetal surgery, forcing Travis’ band Blink-182 to abandon their tour so he could fly home to be with his wife.

Kourtney said she ‘wasn’t prepared for the fear of rushing into urgent fetal surgery’ but left the hospital with her ‘baby boy safe in my tummy’.

The mum-of-five addressed what happened in the new episode of The Kardashians, revealing a doctor conducting a private scan at home with their kids first noticed something he wanted her to have looked into by specialists.

As Travis jetted off on tour, she had an appointment with a specialist who told her she'd need foetal surgery right away. Kourtney has since called the series of events 'miraculous' timing and has praised the doctors who 'saved our baby'.
