Travis Barker recently opened up about the challenges of maintaining his son Rocky’s privacy following a leaked paparazzi photo. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal published on September 23rd, the Blink-182 drummer expressed his disappointment, stating, “Unfortunately, someone finally got a photo of him, but we’d rather keep him out of the spotlight.”
Both Travis and Kourtney Kardashian have made efforts to keep their 10-month-old son’s face off social media, emphasizing their desire for privacy. Travis reflected on his experiences with his older children, Alabama (18) and Landon (20), from his previous marriage, wishing he had been more cautious regarding their public exposure.
Kourtney has also been proactive in this area, rarely sharing photos of her 14-year-old son Mason with ex-partner Scott Disick, especially after Mason expressed his discomfort with being featured on her social media. During a 2022 podcast appearance, she noted, “I want my kids to be kids, and I crave normalcy as much as we can have it.”
To give Mason more control over his public image, Kourtney allowed him to create his own Instagram account, where he can share content on his own terms. As Travis and Kourtney navigate parenthood in the limelight, their commitment to prioritizing their children’s privacy remains a central focus.
