Travis Barker Discloses Baby’s Moniker and Anticipated Arrival Date on Podcast
In an unforeseen revelation, Travis Barker, the world-renowned drummer of Blink 182 and the partner of Kourtney Kardashian, casually divulged key details about their impending child while participating in a podcast interview. Barker disclosed that their forthcoming baby boy is going to bear the moniker Rocky Thirteen Barker, with the expected due date situated around “Halloween or roughly the first week of November.”
The duo, who exchanged vows in 2022, are the parents of children from prior relationships, thus merging their families. The choice of “Rocky” as the name for their soon-to-arrive offspring had already been a topic of speculation. During a baby shower themed around Disney, sharp-eyed fans spotted decorations that subtly indicated their preference, bearing a message that partly read, “May Baby Rocky have the most… life filled with love and happiness.”
Barker expressed his affinity for the name “Rocky” during a discussion with his adolescent daughter, Alabama, within an interview for Complex. He elucidated his partiality by citing that “Rocky George played the guitar for suicidal tendencies, and 13 stands as the most remarkable number of all time.” Alabama, seemingly less enthusiastic about the choice, quipped back, suggesting they gauge how the name fairs once the child embarks on their school journey.
Kardashian and Barker’s expedition into parenthood has been marked by challenges. Back in September, Kourtney Kardashian expressed her profound appreciation for medical professionals who played an instrumental role in safeguarding her baby’s life. This safeguarding entailed an urgent foetal surgical procedure, wherein surgeons perform interventions on babies while they are still situated within the womb, rendering this step absolutely pivotal for the child’s welfare.
Kourtney had formerly candidly discussed the hurdles she faced when striving to conceive with Barker. However, a revelatory moment ensued in June, when she shared the delightful tidings in a manner as unique as their love story. At a live concert featuring Blink-182, Kourtney seized the spotlight by brandishing a sign that succinctly declared, “Travis, I’m pregnant.” The audience was left in jubilant astonishment upon learning about the forthcoming addition to their expanding family.
