Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker welcomed their first child together last year. And, of course, we’re thrilled for the couple.
However, some of the seemingly cute details that emerged in the following months left fans… disturbed.
Now, a growing number of Kourt’s followers are sounding the alarm — and calling Travis “controlling.”
Some time ago we reported that Travis and Kourtney’s baby name it would probably be “Rocky”.
So, just days before welcoming her son, Travis confirmed the news. It’s a name he had discussed in the past.
The couple’s first child is named Rocky Thirteen.
Travis likes the name “Rocky” because it is the name of his favorite musician. Specifically, the guitarist from Suicidal Tendencies.
Thirteen is simply Travis’s favorite number. That’s sensible – it’s a big number!
“I like Rocky 13,” he previously told his teenage daughter, Alabama. “That’s the name that’s been running through my head lately.”
So the little boy’s name is Rocky Thirteen Barker.
This seems harmless enough, even if “Rocky” sounds like a name someone would give a puppy. We’ve heard much worse things.
So what’s the problem? Well… it all comes down to how all three parts of the name come from just one parent.
“Travis is controlling, in my opinion,” opined one Redditor.
“He was the one who named his son,” argued the redditor, “based on his interests.” And not Kourtney’s.
“I wonder if Kravis fans start attacking me for this,” the social media user continued, “but this is raising huge red flags.”
“Like Kourtney and Travis’ marriage is all based on their vibe,” the Reddit user described.
“And,” the Redditor concluded, “Kourtney changed her entire wardrobe to match his style.”
We’ve certainly seen Kourtney’s sense of style evolve into a “rocker” vibe. Even in maternity photos.
“The fact that she allows this baby to be named Rocky Thirteen will confirm to me that he is controlling,” one commenter noted.
“Rocky, that’s one thing. Not my vibe, and not Kourtney’s real vibe, but I could see it,” noted this second redditor. “THIRTEEN? Honey, aren’t these weird things!!!!”
Another commented: “Yeah, I don’t like that the new kid’s name is totally up to Travis. Kourt was the only one who had normal names for her kids and then Barker wanted Rocky 13.” (Point of order: Kourtney has a son named Reign)
“He seems very controlling,” another Reddit user worried. “And the only reason Kourtney accepts this is because he loves her and is devoted to her.”
If you’ll pardon the pun, the months since the baby’s birth have been a little… difficult.
Insiders suggested that Kourtney’s oldest kids don’t like Travis.
And there was an incident where Kourtney was forced to leave Rocky behind during a trip to Australia.
There’s no reason to believe she did this at Travis’ request, but fans have come to that conclusion. Because often the most dramatic explanation is preferable to the precise one.
