The reality star is mom to children Mason, Penelope and Reign, who she shares with ex-boyfriend Scott Disick, and spoke of plans to add to her brood with the Blink-182 rocker .
The 43-year-old – which drops on Hulu and + tomorrow morning – explaining that the IVF treatments had ‘put her into menopause’ and given her ‘depression’.
‘Travis and I want to have a baby, and so my doctor took us down this road of doing IVF,’ she told the camera in a VT.

‘I think we want it so badly because we want to make something together.’

‘It actually would have been real if they would have given us a license at 2am,’ she told Associated Press of their low-key ceremony.
‘We asked multiple times, are you sure there’s nothing we can do? So yeah, we just did it anyways.’
‘It was really, really fun / I don’t remember. It was like the best night of my life that I don’t remember.’
