Landon Barker is opening up about how he feels about having a baby brother join the family.

In early November, his stepmother, Kourtney Kardashian, and father, Travis Barker, joyfully welcomed their first child together, Rocky.

Travis, a dad to the musician and daughter Alabama, also embraces his role as a stepdad to Atiana, while Kardashian's trio includes Mason, Penelope, and Reign.

In the wake of Rocky's recent arrival, the "Friends With Your Ex" singer is shifting gears in his big brother role.

He even revealed he had not spent much time with his newborn brother. "I actually haven't even held it," he admitted on SiriusXM's Radio, surprising host Jess Lucero with his honesty.

The surprising revelation continued, with the 20-year-old addressing queries about assisting his father and stepmom with diaper duties. "I have not, and I will not be," he firmly stated.

Barker's sentiments contrast with his thoughts shared on the "Zach Sang Show" in September. At that time, he expressed excitement about the arrival of a younger sibling but also admitted a preference for a baby sister. "I wish I was the only Barker boy," he confessed.

Acknowledging the age gap of almost 20 years between him and Rocky, the reality TV star speculated on the differences in their lives. "We're almost 20 years apart. So I feel like our lives are gonna be very different. I'm sure he'll have, like, the iPhone f— 25," he quipped.

Despite his initial reservations, the social media influencer emphasized his contentment with the timing of his brother's arrival. "It's cool though, because it'd be different if it happened when I kinda need the attention as a kid. I feel like I'm out of the house" he explained, before adding, "But now that I'm in a place that I feel like I'm an adult now, it's sick. I'm super happy for them."

Kourtney Kardashian And Travis Barker Welcomed Their Baby With The Utmost Privacy

Before Landon candidly shared his evolving emotions about becoming a big brother, his A-list parents chose the lavish surroundings of Cedars Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles to welcome their newest addition, Rocky Thirteen Barker, into the world.

Shrouded in privacy, the overnight arrival unfolded with the opulence befitting the famous couple and their equally prominent family members.

Maintaining a tradition observed by the Kardashian sisters, the POOSH founder discreetly checked into the hospital, choosing anonymity over her renowned name. While the exact suite occupied by Kourtney and Travis remained undisclosed, it aligned with the family's penchant for Cedars Sinai's top-tier offerings. 

Notably, the 44-year-old had previously chosen these deluxe suites for the births of all three of her children. The tradition extended to other Kardashian-Jenner family members, including Kim Kardashian, Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian, and Kylie Jenner.

In the rich and famous world, even childbirth becomes a lavish affair. These suites boast a patient room, an adjacent sitting room, and luxurious en-suite facilities. Complete with bathrobes, recessed lighting, flat-screen TVs, and hardwood floors, they redefine the birthing experience.

For those willing to splurge a bit more, a "three-bedroom, two-bathroom suite" is an option, some even featuring a private bathtub. The perks do not end there — they include access to salon services such as haircuts, manicures, and pedicures.

About Rocky Thirteen Barker's Grand Entrance

Days after the luxurious birth, the birth certificate for Kardashian and Barker's newest family member, Rocky Thirteen Barker, was obtained by The Blast. Born on November 1, 2023, the certificate confirmed the unique moniker chosen for the celebrity child.

The document also revealed that OB/GYN Kathleen Valenton attended to the TV personality during the delivery, bringing an interesting connection to sister Kim's past experiences with pre-eclampsia. 

While it was unclear if Valenton assisted with other Kardashian births, the exclusive care provided at Cedars Sinai remains a top choice for Hollywood's elite.
