Travis Barker on the Struggles of Keeping Baby Rocky Out of the Spotlight
Travis Barker, the legendary Blink-182 drummer, has recently opened up about the challenges he and his wife, Kourtney Kardashian, face while trying to keep their young son, Rocky, out of the public eye. In a world where their lives are constantly under the microscope, this decision has proven difficult, especially after a recent breach of their privacy. The couple, who welcomed Rocky Thirteen, their son, in November 2023, have shared very few glimpses of him, always careful to avoid revealing his face. In a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal , Travis expressed his desire to maintain their child’s privacy, stating, "Unfortunately, someone finally got a photo of him, but we'd rather keep him out of the spotlight."

Travis also admitted that, in hindsight, he would have approached things differently with his older children. The drummer shares two children, Landon and Alabama, with his ex-wife, and both have been public figures for most of their lives. Reflecting on the reality of growing up in the limelight, Travis revealed, "I think it's weird to grow up and you're 15 or 12, and you're like, 'Mom, you posted this of me?'" He has since come to realize the impact of being constantly in the public eye on a child’s upbringing, which is why he and Kourtney are striving to give Rocky a different experience.
Despite their efforts, the public's interest in the Kardashian-Barker family remains high. While Kourtney’s older children from her relationship with Scott Disick – Mason, Penelope, and Reign – have been in the media spotlight from a young age, the couple is determined to take a different approach with Rocky, now 10 months old.
Beyond family privacy, Travis also spoke about his close relationship with his son Landon, who, at 20 years old, has followed in his father’s musical footsteps. Landon, a budding musician, spends much of his time creating music, often working alongside his father. Travis cherishes this bond, remarking, “Landon is home, most of the time, creating music by himself. But when I'm home, he asks me to do a few days in the studio or help finish a song.” The rocker shared that their shared passion for music has allowed them to connect on a deep level, a relationship he describes as "the coolest."
As the couple continues to navigate parenthood under intense public scrutiny, their primary focus remains on protecting Rocky’s privacy as much as possible. For Travis, it's a lesson learned from his older children, and he is determined to handle things differently this time around.
