AceShowbiz - Travis Barker, the renowned Blink-182 drummer, has expressed his unwavering pride in being a father. In a recent interview with PEOPLE, the 48-year-old opened up about his experiences as a dad, including his newest addition to the family, 8-month-old Rocky, born to wife Kourtney Kardashian.
Barker has gained significant parenting experience over the years, starting with his stepdaughter Atiana De La Hoya, now 25. He then welcomed two children with ex-wife Shanna Moakler, Landon Barker and Alabama Barker, now 20 and 18, respectively. Reflecting on his time as a stepdad and father, Barker shared, "I love being a dad. That's my favorite accomplishment, it's my favorite thing I get to do every day."
With Rocky's arrival, Barker feels an overwhelming sense of joy and fulfillment. He recalls how running four miles each way to the freeway filled him with determination to become the best version of himself when he first learned he was going to be a father with Landon.
The musician and the Poosh founder's relationship blossomed out of a shared passion for fitness, long before it turned romantic. The drummer and the reality TV star prioritize exercise together, not only for its physical benefits but also for its positive impact on their mental well-being.
