Kourtney Kardashian and her husband, Travis Barker, have become synonymous with their passionate public displays of affection, captivating the attention of onlookers. However, the reality behind closed doors may not be as idyllic as it seems. Despite tying the knot in May 2022, the couple’s love life is far from the romantic image one might imagine. In fact, Kourtney recently revealed in an episode of Amanda Hirsch’s Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast that her 11-year-old daughter, Penelope, still shares her bed. Kourtney disclosed, “She’s slept with me every day since she was born and pretty much still does unless she has a friend sleep over.”
The Challenges of Blending Households
When discussing the impact of this arrangement on her relationship with Travis, Kourtney explained that she and her husband have yet to move in together. Their households remain separate, and they are currently in the process of figuring out how to blend their lives and their children. Kourtney revealed their efforts to create a sense of unity by having family dinners every Sunday night at Travis’ house with all the kids. She emphasized their desire for their children to feel comfortable, recognizing that each child has grown up in their respective homes and has their own space.
It is unclear whether Kourtney and Travis have made the transition to living together one year later. Nevertheless, they have taken a significant step in their relationship by purchasing a property together. Last fall, they acquired Conan O’Brien’s beach house in Carpinteria, California, for a whopping $14.5 million. This luxurious two-building oceanfront property boasts four bedrooms and four bathrooms, spanning 2,142 square feet. Situated only 90 minutes north of Los Angeles, it serves as the perfect retreat for the couple to escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.
The Barker-Kardashian family will soon welcome a new addition, as Kourtney is currently expecting her and Travis’ first baby. This impending arrival will transform their blended family of eight into a family of nine. The couple is eagerly anticipating the arrival of a baby boy, much to the excitement of Travis’ 20-year-old son, Landon. Reflecting on the prospect of having a baby sibling, Landon remarked, “I’ve never really had a baby sibling; it’s always been me and my sister, two years apart. But it’s like, it’s cool though because it’d be different if it happened when I kinda needed attention as a kid. I feel like I’m out of the house; I don’t need that.” While expressing joy for the upcoming arrival, Landon jokingly added, “Kinda wish he was a girl though, I wish I was the only Barker boy.”
Alabama, Landon’s 17-year-old sister, also eagerly shared her thoughts on the arrival of a new sibling. During an interview with E! News at the BeautyCon event in Los Angeles, she expressed her excitement, emphasizing that having another family member is always a fantastic experience. Alabama highlighted the joy of getting to know a new person and the anticipation of the fun and excitement that awaits their expanded family dynamic.
As Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker prepare to embrace the changes and challenges that come with a growing family, the public eagerly awaits the next chapter of their journey. Their love life may not fit the conventional notion of a picture-perfect romance, but their commitment to blending their households and nurturing their children’s comfort illustrates their dedication to creating a harmonious and loving environment.
