Rocky, Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker’s firstborn, was a rainbow baby.
In Barker’s new documentary on Hulu, Travis Barker: Love is stronger than fearwhich premiered on June 13, the couple revealed that they suffered a miscarriage while expecting their first child together, before Rocky was born in 2023.
According to the reality TV star, she became pregnant just six months after her romance with the Blink-182 drummer. The couple, who have been together since 2021, were expecting a baby girl and had even chosen the name Tulip before devastating news arrived at a routine doctor’s appointment.
“When we lost the baby, we were devastated,” Kardashian said in the documentary, according to US Weekly. “We cried for days.”
The loss marked the beginning of a challenging fertility journey. Kardashian, 47, revealed that she underwent five IVF attempts in eight months while the couple was still trying to conceive. It was when they decided to take a step back from the process that their prayers were finally answered.
Kardashian and Barker welcomed their son Rocky in November 2023, after conceiving naturally following their discontinuation of IVF treatments.
Rocky’s pregnancy brought its own challenges, including emergency fetal surgery due to a “super rare” condition.
The Poosh founder is also the mother of three children with her ex, Scott Disick, while Barker shares three children with his ex Shanna Moakler.
