Kourtney Kardashian breaks silence over ‘conspiracies’ that her teenage son fathered a child
Kourtney Kardashian has spoken out about a slew of online rumours claiming her son Mason Disick secretly fathered a child.
The reality star, 45, who has previously been forced to address “creepy” accounts pretending to be her son on Instagram, welcomed the 15-year-old with her ex Scott Disick in 2010.
Kardashian came to her son’s defence and denied Mason has a child, adding again that any social media account who claim to be him are fake.
Writing on her Instagram story, she said: “I rarely address rumours or conspiracies regarding myself or my family, but this is about my child and it feels wrong to let anyone think for a second that these lies are remotely true. They are not.”
She continued: “Mason does not have a child. These accounts that pretend to be him are definitely not. They are FAKE. My son really values his privacy, and I am asking all [the] media to please be respectful: he is a kid with feelings and a beautiful life ahead of him.”
Kardashian went on to ask the public to “please stop spreading false narratives and spinning lies”.
She added: “And to all the other people making videos about my kids (who, by the way, are minors), please stop and leave them alone.”
The post comes after two accounts claiming to be Mason’s shared multiple pictures of a young baby.
Mason moved in with Disick in 2023, who recently revealed on Khloe Kardashian’s podcast that he gives his son dating advice.
“Recently, he’s starting to really like girls. And obviously, girls like him,” he said, adding that he tells his son: “You can do whatever you want, but just don’t lie and don’t manipulate any girls.”
He continued: “So if a girl tells you she maybe wants to do something with you, like hookup and whatever, if she knows you’re not in a relationship with her, don’t tell her you are just to get something out of her.”
It comes after Kardashian clarified that Mason was not involved with any “fake” Instagram accounts in 2022 after profiles with his name started sharing information about Kylie Jenner’s wedding.
“I will spell it out clearly: that is NOT Mason on these fake social media accounts talking about our family,” she said.
This wasn’t the first time that the Poosh founder has had to address her children’s access to social media.
During a conversation with Miranda Kerr for Vogue in May 2021, Kardashian detailed how she “shut down” some of Mason’s TikTok and Instagram accounts, which he created during the Covid-19 pandemic.
“We definitely have our limits of [screentime]. And I’ve noticed different kids react differently to it,” she explained. “Mason started some secret accounts during quarantine, like TikTok and Instagram. Those were quickly shut down.”
“What kids share today,” she added. “They’re out there forever.”
