Kourtney Kardashian Barker has celebrated Father’s Day by honouring her husband, Travis Barker, with an Instagram tribute that notably omitted any mention of her ex-partner, Scott Disick. On June 21, Kardashian Barker, 47, shared a heartfelt post featuring photos of the musician, 50, with their two-year-old son, Rocky Thirteen Barker. The caption simply read “baby daddy 🖤”, but did not include any recognition of Disick, with whom she shares three children: Mason, 16, Penelope, 13, and Reign, 11.

An insider has since clarified that Kourtney’s choice to exclude Disick from her tribute was unintentional and not meant to cause any hurt. According to the source, Disick is on good terms with both Kourtney and Travis, and is more focused on the wellbeing of his children. “Scott respects their relationship and didn’t take her leaving him out of her Father’s Day post personally,” the insider stated, adding that Disick is pleased that his children are happy and that Travis is easy to get along with.
In her tribute to Travis, Kourtney included snapshots of their family enjoying a day at the beach, highlighting moments of the father and son walking along the shoreline and playing in the sand. She also shared a nostalgic photo of Barker lifting her while they gazed affectionately at each other, underscoring the strength of their bond. The couple welcomed their first child together in November 2023, strengthening their blended family dynamic.
The previous year, Kourtney had taken a different approach, acknowledging her entire family in a Father’s Day post that featured several photographs of their children together. Last year’s heartfelt message celebrated the unity of their blended family, which includes Barker’s other children from his previous marriage. “Happy Father’s Day to the man who loves with his whole heart,” she wrote. “For our baby, for my three, for his three… for our seven 😉 This wild, beautiful blended life wouldn’t be the same without you. ❤️”
As part of the growing rapport between Kourtney, Travis, and Scott, it appears that the three are making concerted efforts to co-parent successfully. The source confirmed that Kourtney and Travis have created a strong family unit that includes both their children and Scott’s. “Kourtney and Scott’s kids love Rocky,” continued the insider, highlighting the positive atmosphere fostered within their families.
Separately, Travis Barker recently attended the premiere of his documentary, “Travis Barker: Louder Than Fear,” at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City. The film delves into personal aspects of Barker’s life, including a heartbreaking miscarriage experienced by Kourtney before the arrival of their son, Rocky. Recounting the loss, Kardashian Barker mentioned how they were devastated upon learning at their three-month ultrasound that the baby had no heartbeat.
This experience was particularly poignant for Kourtney and Travis as they had been eagerly anticipating the arrival of a baby girl named Tulip. The documentary, set to be released on Hulu on August 13, explores these intimate moments in detail, providing insight into the challenges they faced before ultimately welcoming Rocky into their lives. Kardashian Barker has mentioned that the pregnancy with Rocky came unexpectedly after she took a break from a rigorous IVF regimen, showcasing the couple’s journey through grief and joy.
Kourtney’s emphasis on celebrating Travis during Father’s Day showcases how their relationship has developed and the significance they place on family. As they continue to navigate the complexities of their blended families, it is clear that mutual respect remains at the core of their dynamic.
Moving forward, it seems that Kardashian Barker, Barker, and Disick will maintain a cooperative approach to parenting, prioritising their children’s happiness and emotional well-being above all else. Despite any public speculation regarding potential tensions, the bonds they are creating demonstrate a commitment to ensuring a harmonious environment for their family.
