Kourtney Kardashian & Travis Barker Welcome First Child Together
The couple has been dropping hints about the baby’s name all along.
The next rock star has arrived. Kourtney Kardashian has reportedly welcomed her fourth child, and first with husband Travis Barker, whom she married in May 2022.
The reality star and Blink-182 drummer have yet to officially announce the arrival of their newborn son, but sources confirmed his birth to People on Nov. 4.
On Nov. 5, a source told to People that Kardashian is “over the moon about her son’s arrival,” adding: “Her pregnancy took a stressful turn towards the end. She is happy to just be able to snuggle her baby boy now. She feels so blessed.”
Finally, on Nov. 16, the birth certificate obtained by People confirmed Baby Barker’s date of birth and name: On Nov. 1, Kardashian and Barker officially welcomed Rocky Thirteen Barker.
A Rockin’ Pregnancy Announcement
Kardashian announced her pregnancy at a Blink-182 concert in June by holding up a sign in the audience saying “Travis I’m Pregnant,” which was a subtle yet clever nod to the band’s 1999 “All The Small Things” music video.
Over a week later, they revealed they were having a son with a gender reveal inspired by his dad on Instagram. “Little drummer boy coming soon,” she wrote.
Urgent Fetal Surgery
In September, Blink-182 postponed three European tour dates, stating that Barker had to rush home to Los Angeles for an “urgent family matter.” Days later, Kardashian revealed on Instagram that she had to undergo urgent fetal surgery.
“I will be forever grateful to my incredible doctors for saving our baby’s life,” she wrote, captioning a photo of her holding Barker’s tattooed hand in a hospital bed.
“As someone who has had three really easy pregnancies in the past, I wasn’t prepared for the fear of rushing into urgent fetal surgery,” she added.
“I don’t think anyone who hasn’t been through a similar situation can begin to understand that feeling of fear.”
Fans Missed The Baby Name Hints
Per the birth certificate obtained by People on Nov. 16, Baby Barker’s full name is Rocky Thirteen Barker. If it sounds familiar, that’s because Barker has been teasing it for a while — and fans completely missed it.
Back in June, Barker hinted that he already landed on what to call Baby Barker. When Kardashian shared a gallery of maternity photos online, her husband commented, “I already know his name,” with a wink emoji.
Weeks later, the drummer and his daughter, Alabama, joined the GOAT Talk interview with Complex to share their favorite “GOAT” things. When baby names popped up, Barker had thoughts. “I like Rocky 13,” he said.
Explaining the choice, he said, “Rocky George played guitar for Suicidal Tendencies, and 13 is just the greatest number of all time.” He added, that Rocky is “the greatest boxing movie of all time.” His daughter wasn’t convinced, however.
Even Khloé Kardashian seemingly hinted at the name with a TikTok from her sister’s baby shower. She captioned the Sept. 24 post, “Baby Barker. Lucky Number 13,” referencing that he’s the 13th third-generation KarJenner.
Blending Families
While Rocky Thirteen is the couple’s first child together, he marks Kardashian’s fourth child, as she shares 13-year-old son Mason, 11-year-old daughter Penelope, and 8-year-old son Reign with ex-boyfriend Scott Disick.
This also marks Barker’s third child, sharing 19-year-old son Landon and 17-year-old daughter Alabama with ex-wife Shanna Moakler, as well as stepdaughter Atiana De La Hoya.
