Kourtney Kardashian Fires Back at Bizarre Travis Barker Split Rumors

Kourtney Kardashian is addressing separation rumors regarding her and Travis Barker.

On a new episode of Hulu’s The Kardashians, the Poosh founder, 47, set the record straight when it comes to their relationship status.

The moment came when her publicist alerted her to a tabloid report circulating online.

“[My publicist] wrote to me this morning,” Kardashian said during the episode.

“She is like, ‘The magazine is saying that you and Travis don’t live together anymore and you are splitting up.’ Any truth?’”

Kardashian’s response was not what her publicist likely expected.

“I go, ‘Tell them to print it.’ Just see what happens,” she added.

The reality star then made it clear that the speculation was baseless.

“They know it is not true,” she said.

“They know they saw a dumb TikTok of someone who makes up fabricated stories.”

Kardashian married Barker, a musician, in 2022.

The couple welcomed their first child together, a son named Rocky, in 2023.

The reality star and her husband, 50, have children from previous relationships.

Kardashian shares sons Mason and Reign and daughter Penelope with her ex, Scott Disick.

Barker has a son Landon and a daughter Alabama with his second wife, Shanna Moakler.

The Blink-182 drummer also has a stepdaughter, Atiana De La Hoya.

“Fortunately, all of our kids get along,” Barker told People of his blended family in August.

“Everyone kind of does their own thing,” he said.

“We try to have a lot of normalcy.”

While “different pieces of the family are together at different times,” Barker said that they all try to get together every week.

“Every Sunday we have family dinner—there’s never a Sunday where we don’t have family dinner,” he explained.

“I love being present,” he said.

“I also love leading by example.”

“It doesn’t matter how old they are,” Barker said of his kids.

“I love Ati the same way at 27 as I did when she was 2,” he said.

“Landon, the same way the day he was born compared to now, in the same way,” he said.

“Every year honestly just gets better,” he said.

“It’s awesome.”

Kardashian addressed the rumors while discussing fabricated celebrity stories with her friend Simon Huck.

Huck, 42, also criticized the “insane” AI videos circulating online and the conspiracy theories surrounding the family.

“And people believe it,” Kardashian replied.

“It is so bizarre.”

The episode aired on Thursday, November 5, 2026.

Kardashian, 47, married the Blink-182 drummer, 50, in May 2022 after getting engaged the previous October.

Their relationship has also included unfathomable loss.

“When we lost the baby, we were devastated,” Kardashian recalled.

“We cried for days,” she said.

“All we wanted was to have a baby together.”

Kardashian announced another pregnancy at a Blink-182 concert in June 2023.

She held a sign reading, “Travis, I’m pregnant.”

Three months later, she underwent emergency fetal surgery.

She thanked Barker for leaving his tour to support her.

She expressed disbelief that people take such content seriously.

“And people believe it,” she said.

“It is so bizarre.”

Kardashian’s response to the rumors has drawn attention because of her unusual approach.

Rather than issuing a denial or asking her publicist to kill the story, she gave permission for it to run.

“Tell them to print it,” she said.

“Just see what happens.”

The approach suggests confidence in the strength of her marriage.

It also reflects a willingness to let baseless stories run their course without engaging in a defensive response.
