Courtney Kardashian Barker and her husband, Travis Barker, are already raising a little rock star. In this week’s episode of “The Kardashians,” the Poosh founder, 45, and her rockstar husband, 48, shared the surprising sound that calmed Kardashian Barker during labor with their son, Rocky.
As the couple headed to the hospital, Courtney mentioned in a confessional, “Travis brought his practice drum kit,” adding, “And how special to be drumming to his son’s heartbeat.” Not only did Kardashian Barker find it special that Barker could drum using the baby’s heartbeat as a metronome, but it was also helpful for her. “The drumming sound is super relaxing and calming to me,” she said to the cameras. “Like, I heard it my whole pregnancy. I would fall asleep to it. This baby’s heard a metronome a lot, babe. He’s going to have great timing,” the proud dad joked.
Kardashian Barker’s delivery was a music-filled event. After using drums to create calm vibes, the couple revealed in the same episode that they strictly listened to Frank Sinatra during the actual delivery. Barker was the one who initially picked out the artist, and even his wife found the rockstar’s decision to be a surprise. “Right when Travis started playing music, I think he felt that he was going to have these rock vibes,” she said in a confessional. “And then right when he went to select the music, he went for some Frank Sinatra. We listened only to Frank Sinatra during the birth,” Courtney later told the cameras.
On Father’s Day this year, Courtney gave a special shout-out to her husband, sharing a few photos of Barker and their 7-month-old son lounging around and exploring a beach. “Happy Father’s Day @travisbarker,” she wrote in her caption. “Beyond grateful for the dad that you are to our baby boy and all of our kids. You keep us safe and protected and take care of us. Having a family with you is heaven,” she continued. “Happy to celebrate you.”
Courtney Kardashian supports her husband Travis Barker as he makes an emotional announcement. The Lemme entrepreneur took to Instagram to support Travis as he revealed his new wellness initiative, Run Travis Run. The Blink-182 drummer took to Instagram to announce his new wellness experience, which will allow fans to join him on a run and offers a 360-degree experience of health, wellness, and mindful explorations with fitness classes and mindfulness workshops.
He explained that the reason for the initiative stemmed from his plane accident in 2008, which burned 70% of his body. “I was told by doctors that I may never be able to walk or play drums the same again,” he explained. “I was never athletic, and I never played sports, but I immediately had this urge to prove everyone wrong, including myself.” The drummer started his inspirational journey with short walks that turned into short daily runs, telling fans that he felt this sense of calmness and a rush of dopamine every time he ran. “I’ve kept this up for years now, and I always start my day with it. I even run three miles every day before my shows when I’m on tour.”
His love of running amped up this past year when he ran his first half marathon and participated in a few 5K runs. “I love how everyone from all walks of life ran together and supported one another. The running community is massive, and it really inspired me to create Run Travis Run as a way to bring like-minded people together,” he signed off the post. “I want to motivate people to get outside and walk or run for a few hours, as well as make healthy decisions and create healthy habits.”
Courtney reshared Travis’s emotional announcement to her story, writing, “You are so inspiring, @travisbarker,” with a heart emoji to show her love and support for her husband’s new endeavor.
