Kourtney Kardashian fires back at bizarre Travis Barker split rumors

Kourtney Kardashian told her publicist to let a false story about her marriage to Travis Barker run in a magazine.

"Tell them to print it," she recalled saying.

"Just see what happens."

The reality star addressed the split rumors on the November 5 episode of Hulu's The Kardashians.

She described the moment her publicist reached out with a question.

"[My publicist] wrote to me this morning," Kardashian said.

"She is like, 'The magazine is saying that you and Travis don't live together anymore and you are splitting up.' Any truth?'"

Instead of rushing to deny the claim, Kardashian gave an unusual response.

"I go, 'Tell them to print it,'" she said.

"Just see what happens."

Kardashian, 47, made it clear the rumors were baseless.

She told friend Simon Huck that the speculation originated from fabricated TikTok content.

"They know it is not true," she said.

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

"And people believe it," she added.

"It is so bizarre."

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 couple has faced public speculation since they began dating.

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

Their relationship has included both joy and loss.

In Barker's documentary Travis Barker: Louder Than Fear, released in August 2026, the couple revealed they experienced a miscarriage in 2021.

"When we lost the baby, we were devastated," Kardashian recalled.

"We cried for days."

"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.

The couple welcomed their son Rocky in November 2023.

Rocky is now 3 years old.

Kardashian also has three children with ex Scott Disick: Mason, 16, Penelope, 14, and Reign, 11.

Barker has two children with his second wife, Shanna Moakler: son Landon and daughter Alabama.

He also has a stepdaughter, Atiana De La Hoya.

"Fortunately, all of our kids get along," Barker told People in August.

"Everyone kind of does their own thing."

"We try to have a lot of normalcy."
