Travis Barker Defends Himself Over Leaked Photo of Baby Son Rocky

Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian love sharing glimpses of their 10-month-old son, Rocky, on social media, but they always ensure his face is hidden. Recently, though, the Blink-182 drummer was upset to see that paparazzi had captured a clear shot of Rocky.

In a Wall Street Journal interview published on September 23, Barker voiced his frustration, stating, “Unfortunately, someone finally got a photo of him, but we’d rather keep him out of the spotlight.” This aligns with the couple’s commitment to shielding their youngest from excessive public attention.

Barker also reflected on his older kids, whom he shares with ex-wife Shanna Moakler. He regretted their social media exposure, saying, “If I could do everything different, I would have done the same thing with my [older] kids. It’s strange for them to ask, ‘Mom, you posted this of me?’ when they’re older.”

He has a blended family with former stepdaughter Atiana De La Hoya, 25, and kids Landon, 20, and Alabama, 18. Kourtney, who has kids Mason, 14, Penelope, 12, and Reign, 9, with ex Scott Disick, also takes precautions regarding their online presence. For instance, she made sure Mason’s Instagram stays safe, and he even informed Aunt Kim Kardashian about North’s social media activity. Kim, who shares an account with 11-year-old North, is likewise cautious about online exposure.
