Travis Barker, the iconic drummer of Blink-182 at 48, and Kourtney Kardashian, the visionary founder of Poosh at 45, are unwavering in their commitment to shielding their infant son, Rocky, from the relentless glare of the spotlight. Despite their relentless efforts to preserve the privacy of their 10-month-old bundle of joy, the challenges are mountainous, given their status as members of one of the most renowned families on the globe. Already, an intrusive lens has captured an image of their cherished little one, a reality that Travis lamented in an interview with The Wall Street Journal: "Regrettably, someone managed to snap a photo of him, but our heart's desire is to keep him well away from the limelight."
The rockstar, with a heart full of introspection, confessed that he would have taken a different path had he the chance, ensuring even his elder children, 20-year-old Landon and 18-year-old Alabama, remained sheltered from public scrutiny. He mused, "If I could rewrite the script, I would've sheltered my older kids just as fervently. It's a strange feeling, reaching your teenage years and discovering your parents have documented your every move, wondering, 'Mom, why did you post this about me?'"
Travis's bond with his musician son, Landon, transcends mere familial ties; it's a symphony of shared passions. Recalling their differing musical tastes as children—Travis immersed in Beastie Boys, Slayer, and more, while his father preferred Johnny Cash and country classics—he cherishes the harmony he shares with Landon. "Our musical tastes have been in perfect harmony since day one. It's the ultimate camaraderie," he beamed.
At home, Landon often retreats to his creative sanctuary, crafting melodies that resonate deeply. However, when Travis is around, the studio becomes a father-son haven, where Landon invites him to collaborate, offering guidance, listening to demos, and lending a hand wherever needed. "The key to greatness," Travis imparted wisely to his son, "lies in countless days spent honing your craft in the studio. Create an abundance of music before you unveil the gems you wish to share with the world."
