On 19 January 2024, reality TV show star Kourtney Kardashian posted a carousel of pictures on Instagram that raised more than a few eyebrows.
The picture collection featured multiple snaps of her and husband Travis Barker all dressed up and ready for a night out. The carousel was captioned “Rocky’s parents,” a title that many found quite confusing considering that the couple has many other children as well.

“Thought y’all had other kids,” one netizen noted. “Kourtney you really said F*CK DEM OTHER KIDS huh?” another Instagram user stated. A final user commented: “Did you forget about your other kids with Scott?”
For reference, Kardashian has four kids in total. The 44-year-old shares Mason, Penelope and Reign with her ex-boyfriend Scott Disick, and newborn, Rocky Thirteen Barker, with her husband Travis. Barker also has other children besides Rocky. The Blink 182 drummer shares Alabama and Landon with his ex-wife Shanna Moakler and is also a doting stepfather to her daughter Atiana.
Throughout the first and second seasons of The Kardashians, Kourtney detailed her journey of becoming pregnant with a new baby. The Lemme founder said that she views Barker as the love of her life and would love to bring a child into the world with the drummer.

Consequently, this feels more like a proud parent moment rather than a dig at their other children. Barker’s daughter, Alabama, seemed to have similar thoughts. The 18-year-old responded to the pictures with the comment “Oof,” and a heart emoji.
According to Hello, Rocky Barker is being doted on by the whole family. Kourtney and her husband have only shown candid snapshots featuring their son but he is often referenced on their social media channels.
In celebration of Kourtney’s 44th birthday, Barker’s daughter dedicated a sweet note to the “best stepmom” in a since-expired Instagram Story. Barker’s son Landon has also expressed his love and admiration for Kourtney multiple times, indicating that “Rocky’s parents” are anything other than neglectful to them.
