Rumors are swirling that all is not well in the world of Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian. Despite their usual displays of affection, sources suggest the couple has toned down their public interactions. According to recent reports, the Blink-182 drummer is struggling to rekindle the spark in their relationship by being overly enthusiastic in the bedroom—an approach that Kourtney reportedly finds overwhelming.
As reported by InTouch Weekly, Kourtney Kardashian is finding it difficult to match Barker’s libido since giving birth to their son, Rocky Thirteen Barker, in November 2023. A source close to the couple revealed that while their attraction to each other remains strong, their physical connection has changed. “It has been a tough adjustment for Travis. He can be quite needy and insecure with Kourtney.
Now that Kourtney’s got a new baby, she simply cannot keep up with his energy in the bedroom. She is exhausted a lot of the time and just not in the mood the way she used to be,” the insider shared. Despite these challenges, the source emphasized that Kourtney’s feelings for Barker have not diminished, and she remains as committed to him as ever. However, the shift in their intimate life has caused some tension.
“He tries to see things from her point of view and not put on the pressure, but no doubt it’s caused some stress in the relationship,” the source added. In addition to caring for their newborn, Kourtney is also a mother to three other children—Reign, 9, Mason, 14, and Penelope, 12—from her previous relationship with Scott Disick.
The couple is also navigating new challenges with their eldest son, Mason, who has reportedly decided to move in with his father, Scott Disick. This decision has left Kourtney feeling heartbroken and questioning her role in his choice. “Kourtney tries to cover it up, but she is heartbroken over it and blames herself. And that’s not exactly putting her in the mood for intimacy,” the source explained.
During a recent episode of The Kardashians, Kourtney discussed the ongoing challenges of blending their families and finding a suitable living arrangement. “Travis and I have really been taking our time with figuring out where it makes sense for us to live together because the kids are all so comfortable in their spaces,” she said.
The couple has decided to move into Barker’s house, which is a block away from Kourtney’s, while they renovate her home to create a unified living space for their growing family. “We are going to move into his house… so that we can all be together, living together under one roof with the baby,” Kourtney added.
