How Kourtney Kardashian And Travis Barker's Living Situation Changed Before Welcoming Son

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker had much to consider before cohabitating.

In a recent episode of Hulu's "The Kardashians" series, the Lemme founder opened up about merging home with her husband amid preparations for their son's arrival.

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker tied the knot in May 2022 and welcomed their son, Rocky Thirteen, in November 2023.

The June 13 episode, filmed months before Kourtney welcomed her son, captured the reality TV star explaining the behind-the-scenes details about her decision to move in with Travis.

She once shared that the pair felt "no pressure" to cohabitate; however, they changed their mind with the appearance of their first child together.

Kourtney and Travis both welcomed three children with their former partners, Scott Disick and Shanna Moakler, respectively.

With six children between them and a seventh on the way, Kourtney noted that the duo had to prioritize the happiness of their older children before merging households. As reported by PEOPLE, she said:

"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." 

The comfort of their older children was not the only thing Kourtney and Travis prioritized in their decision-making. The socialite revealed the pair wished to be together with their son, Rocky Thirteen, saying:

"It feels like we kind of figured out a plan for now. We're going to move into his house, which is a block away, and then redo my house at the same time so that we can all be together, living together under one roof with the baby."

Kourtney also flaunted how far the couple had gone in their cohabitation plans, giving her mother, Kris Jenner, a tour of the Halloween decorations she set up at Travis' house. The tour included a view of Rocky's room, which housed a drum set.

"He's going to get used to some drums," Kourtney raved to her mom, implying that Rocky would grow up listening to what his father does best — being a renowned drummer.

A year before "The Kardashians" episode was filmed, Kourtney opened up about merging households with Travis on Amanda Hirsch's "Not Skinny But Not Fat" podcast. She appeared on the show in October 2022, a few months after saying her vows to the Blink-182 drummer.

Kourtney revealed the couple, nicknamed Kravis, were not in a rush to blend their families. Instead, they prioritized introducing both sides to each other with plenty of quality family time. In her words:

"We're in the place where we're figuring out how to blend our households and our kids and what life looks like now. For the most part, we're getting those things in place. We do family dinner every Sunday night with all the kids at his house."

Kourtney continued, "We want our kids to feel really comfortable. They have both lived in their homes their whole lives for the most part and just, they each have their rooms. We are a block away."

Last November, The Blast reported that Kourtney and Travis were the proud parents of son Rocky Thirteen. They welcomed their bundle of joy in style, with the TV personality staying at a luxurious suite in Los Angeles' Cedars Sinai Hospital.

This was not the first the deluxe maternity suite had welcomed a member of the Kar-Jenner clan, as some of Kourtney's sisters had given birth there. The venue could easily be mistaken for a five-star hotel room with its extravagant features.

Insiders noted the suite featured a patient room, an adjacent sitting room, and a luxury bathroom filled with every necessity money could buy. From stylish bathrobes to recessed lighting, flat-screen TVs, and hardwood floors, the suite made childbirth an expensive occasion.

The journey to Rocky Thirteen's birth was physically and emotionally challenging for Kourtney. The Blast shared that she reflected on her failed IVF treatments on her Instagram Story during an emotional Q&A session.

A fan with similar experiences sparked the conversation by asking: "Had 6 failed IVFs - how did you find the strength to keep going? It's debilitating." Kourtney responded by sharing her heartbreaking journey with the treatments.

"I stopped after a year of trying (5 failed IVF cycles, 3 retrievals). My body relaxed, and I believed in God's plan for my life. Lots of prayers for whatever was meant to be for us," she said, encouraging the fan not to lose hope and keep praying.
