Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker have a lot more to celebrate this Halloweekend beyond the spooky holiday — it’s also their son’s birthday! The couple share their son, Rocky 13 Barker, who celebrated his 2nd birthday on Saturday, November 1.
Both Kourtney and Travis have children from previous relationships. Travis is a father to Landon and Alabama with his ex-wife Shanna Moakler, and also to Atiana De La Hoya, Moakler’s daughter. Kourtney shares three children—Mason, Reign, and Penelope—with her ex-boyfriend and longtime Kardashian family favorite, Scott Disick.
The Blink-182 drummer, 49, took to Instagram to share an adorable photo of their toddler. Rocky was dressed in a pair of baggy beige sweats, a jersey with the number “13” on it, and a baseball cap with his long brown locks peeking out underneath. To maintain privacy, Travis made sure to photograph him from behind, obscuring his face.
“Happy Birthday my Rocky 13,” the musician sweetly captioned his post. “You’re such a special soul, and you make every day brighter. I love you. No one’s cooler. Guitars, drums, pirates, boom boom pow and Angus Young forever.”
Kourtney, 46, reposted the photo on her Instagram Stories. Other members of the Kardashian family also chimed in with sweet birthday wishes in the comments. Momager Kris Jenner left several drum emojis, while doting aunt Khloé Kardashian wrote, “Happy birthday to the cutest!!!!! Rocky!!!!!!!”
Fans joined in with responses like:
– “He’s the best little guy ever, love him. Happy birthday Rocky.”
– “Gonna be just like his father.”
– “Oh my goodness!!! Look at that hair, what a sweetheart! Happy Birthday little man!”
Unlike their older kids, who have lived much of their lives in the public eye, Kourtney and Travis have made a concerted effort to keep Rocky out of the spotlight. Most images shared of him feature his face hidden or obscured in some way.
As the Poosh founder, Kourtney does not extensively include Rocky on the family’s Hulu show, *The Kardashians*, except for the occasional tiny cameo. Travis previously gave insight into their decision in an interview with the Wall Street Journal. Reflecting on an incident where paparazzi photographed their newborn, he lamented, “Unfortunately, someone finally got a photo of him,” adding that they’d “rather keep him out of the spotlight.”
He continued, “If I could do everything different, I would have done the same thing with my [older] kids. I think it’s weird to grow up and you’re 15 or 12, and you’re like, ‘Mom, you posted this of me?’”
Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker’s approach highlights their desire to protect their youngest son’s privacy while celebrating his special day surrounded by love. Happy 2nd birthday, Rocky 13 Barker!
