Two months after his birth, the world is finally getting to see Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker’s baby’s photos! The proud parents introduced their newborn son, Rocky Thirteen, in a heartwarming Instagram post.
The couple’s carousel of photos captures tender moments, with Rocky nestled in his father’s arms and Kourtney leaning on Travis’ lap. The photos show the little one dressed in a black onesie, matching his mom and dad’s coordinated all-black theme. One photo shows Kourtney in an oversized black sweater, breastfeeding her son. Another shows Travis planting a sweet kiss on Rocky’s chin, followed by an adorable snapshot of baby Rocky resting on his father’s chest, with his tiny feet peeking out from his black onesie.
The post generated a wave of positive reactions in the comments, as fans couldn’t get enough of the couple’s initial glimpses into parenthood. One fan wrote, “this is the moment I’ve been waiting for even though it’s not much it’s still just enough he is so precious congratulations to you both so happy for you two! 🤗.”
Kourtney initially announced her pregnancy during a Blink-182 concert in June 2023 by holding up a sign that read “Travis I’m Pregnant,” reminiscent of a sign from the band’s iconic “All the Small Things” music video from 2009. The announcement was shared on Instagram, with Kourtney writing, “Overwhelmed with gratitude and joy for God’s blessing and plan.”
Their pregnancy journey took a challenging turn, however, when Kourtney faced “urgent fetal surgery” three months later. She took to Instagram to recount the scary experience, expressing gratitude for the support she received from her doctors, husband, and mother. “I will be forever grateful to my incredible doctors for saving our baby’s life,” she wrote. “I am eternally grateful to my husband who rushed to my side from tour to be with me in the hospital and take care of me afterwards, my rock. And to my mom, thank you for holding my hand through this.”
The Poosh founder continued, “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. I don’t think anyone who hasn’t been through a similar situation can begin to understand that feeling of fear. I have a whole new understanding and respect for the mamas who have had to fight for their babies while pregnant.”
“Praise be to God. Walking out of the hospital with my baby boy in my tummy and safe was the truest blessing,” she ended her statement.
Despite the unforeseen hurdles, the couple welcomed their baby boy into the world healthy and happy. A source recently shared with Entertainment Tonight that the couple’s bond is stronger than ever through the shared experience of becoming parents together.
“Kourtney and Travis are over the moon and could not be more elated that they share a child of their own together,” the source told ET. “Kourtney and Travis already had an unbreakable bond, but having a baby together has brought them even closer and made them fall even more in love. This experience has solidified their feelings that they were destined to be together.”
The couple’s recent Instagram post comes just days after Kourtney announced her return to the gym, seven weeks postpartum. In her caption, she emphasized the importance of taking it slow and allowing her body to heal, reminding fellow mothers that there is no rush or pressure in their postpartum journey.
“7 weeks postpartum: first day in the gym doing 30 mins walking 3.0, 12.0 incline taking it easy no rush no pressure,” she wrote in her caption. “[M]amas your body is healing, it’s not a race.”
Kourtney is also a mom to sons, Mason, 13, and Reign, 8, along with her daughter, Penelope, 11, whom she shares with her ex, Scott Disick. Meanwhile, Barker shares daughter Alabama, 17, son Landon, 19, and stepdaughter Atiana De La Hoya, 24, with his ex-wife Shanna Moakler.
