The next photo zoomed in on Rocky’s adorable feet, followed by a serene shot of Kourtney breastfeeding him. The final photo showed Rocky resting peacefully on Travis’s tattooed chest, hiding his face from the world.
Fans Go Wild
Fans responded enthusiastically to the post. They showered the couple with congratulations and compliments. Many fans joked about Rocky inheriting his dad’s love for tattoos. Others praised Kourtney for “normalizing breastfeeding” and showing the beauty of motherhood. The comment section was filled with excitement and joy, as fans celebrated the arrival of baby Barker.
“Why did I think the baby would come out tatted tho,” one fan wrote, echoing the thoughts of many. Others commented on how “perfect” and “gorgeous” Rocky was, and how happy they were for Kourtney and Travis.
The Meaning Behind the Name
Rocky Thirteen Barker was born on November 1, 2023, at the Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. The name Rocky Thirteen has a special meaning for Travis, who revealed his inspiration in a heartfelt chat with his daughter Alabama. Travis named his son after Rocky George, the legendary guitarist of Suicidal Tendencies, one of his favorite bands. He also said that 13 was “the greatest number of all time,” and that he had always wanted to name his son after it.
The Miracle of Rocky
Rocky’s birth was not an easy one, as Kourtney and Travis faced several challenges along the way. The couple went through many rounds of IVF treatments. This was shown on ‘The Kardashians.’ But Kourtney got pregnant naturally after stopping the treatments in late 2022. She called it “God’s plan,” and thanked the universe for the blessing.
However, shortly before Rocky’s birth, Kourtney had to undergo “urgent fetal surgery,” due to a complication that threatened the baby’s life. She expressed gratitude to the medical staff for saving her son and shared empathy with other mothers who had to fight for their babies.
“I have a whole new understanding and respect for the mamas who have had to fight for their babies while pregnant,”
Kourtney wrote, opening up about the emotional and physical ordeal they faced.
The Kardashian-Barker Family
Rocky Thirteen Barker joined the Kardashian-Barker family. The family has six other children from previous relationships. Kourtney has three children with Scott Disick, while Travis has a son, a daughter, and a stepdaughter from his previous wife Shanna Moakler. The couple got married in 2022, after dating for a year, and vowed to love and support each other and their children. The Instagram post showed how happy and harmonious their blended family was, and how much they welcomed Rocky into their lives.
Kourtney and Travis shared Rocky with the world. They showed their joy of new life. They also gave fans a glimpse into their personal journey. This created a moment of shared celebration and connection in the Kardashian-Barker family saga.
