Being a parent is hard enough on its own, but at least most moms and dads don’t have to worry about people trying to leak photos of their kids for the entire world to see — unless they’re Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian.
In an interview with the Wall Street Journal published Monday (Sept. 23), the Blink-182 drummer opened up about having his 10-month-old son’s face exposed in a recent photo that circulated online. “Unfortunately, someone finally got a photo of him,” said Barker, who welcomed the baby boy with the reality star in November.
“We’d rather keep him out of the spotlight,” he continued to the publication. “If I could do everything different, I would have done the same thing with my [older] kids. I think it’s weird to grow up and you’re 15 or 12, and you’re like, ‘Mom, you posted this of me?’”
The rocker is also a dad to 25-year-old stepdaughter Atiana De La Hoya, 20-year-old son Landon and 18-year-old daughter Alabama Barker from his previous marriage to Shannon Moakler. His blended family with Kardashian — with whom he tied the knot in 2022 — also includes the Poosh founder’s 14-year-old son Mason, 12-year-old daughter Penelope and 9-year-old Reign, whom she shares with ex Scott Disick.
Barker and the reality star have been open about Kardashian’s difficult pregnancy with Rocky, who at one point needed emergency fetal surgery before his birth. The procedure was needed to clear up fluid in the baby’s lungs, a “super rare” condition that the Lemme businesswoman said on The Kardashians they were “lucky” to catch in time.
“Thank you, God, for a successful surgery,” she added at the time. “I’m honestly just so grateful, I have no words.”
