Kourtney Kardashian Barker is under fire for noticeably leaving Scott Disick out of her Father's Day tribute on social media, despite sharing three children with him: Mason, 15, Penelope, 12, and Reign, 10.

The 45-year-old "Kardashians" star took to Instagram on Sunday to honor her husband, Travis Barker, posting a heartfelt slideshow that included a cozy pajama-clad snap with their 19-month-old son, Rocky Thirteen.

Kourtney Kardashian Gushes Over Travis Barker In Father's Day Tribute

"Happy Father's Day to the man who loves with his whole heart — for our baby, for my three, for his three… for our seven," she wrote. "This wild, beautiful blended life wouldn't be the same without you."

She also paid tribute to her late father, Robert Kardashian, who passed away in 2003, writing, "God blessed us with the absolute best dad."

But there was no mention of Disick, with whom Kourtney had a famously rocky nine-year relationship that ended in 2015 after he was photographed getting cozy with stylist Chloé Bartoli, and fans were quick to point out the glaring omission.

"I love how she acts like Scott was never a huge part of her life," one Instagram user commented.

Another added, "Your kids are going to see this and feel some type of way."

"How quickly they try replacing the original fathers," someone else wrote.

"So Scott .. is not a father?" another Instagram user asked.

Some even shared memes of a shocked-looking Disick, while others defended Kourtney's choice, with one writing, "Scott isn't her husband… A text is appropriate."

"Do y'all post the father of your children on Father's Day on social media if you're no longer together?" another asked. "Serious question… And how do y'all know she didn't text him or call him to wish them a happy Father's Day? My goodness y'all are exhausting."

"Why on earth would she post about her BD?" a third chimed in. "None of Ya'll posting a thank you to BD while you got a whole husband at home.."

Others Defend Kourtney Kardashian's Father's Day Tribute To Travis Barker

Supporters of the Poosh founder also argued that Disick didn't publicly acknowledge her on Mother's Day and that she owes him no social media shoutout.

"Where were you all when Disick didn't post about Mother's Day?" one individual asked.

"Are y'all gonna whine every single year cause she's not posting her ex? Jesus," someone else said.

Others felt the tribute was appropriately focused on Barker, who also has three children of his own: Landon, 21, Alabama, 18, and his stepdaughter, Atiana De La Hoya, 26, from his previous marriage to Shanna Moakler.

Kylie And Kendall Stay Silent On Caitlyn

Meanwhile, Kris Jenner was the only member of the Kardashian-Jenner family to include all the fathers in the extended clan.

In a heartfelt post, she honored Scott, Kanye West, and Tristan Thompson, writing, "You have shaped, supported, and loved us in so many ways, and I'm grateful to have witnessed the love that each of you has for your children."

Notably, Kendall and Kylie Jenner did not acknowledge their father, Caitlyn Jenner, who is currently en route back to the U.S. from a visit to war-torn Israel. The transgender activist had been in Tel Aviv as an honored guest for the city's annual Pride celebration, which was suddenly canceled due to escalating conflict in the region.

Kendall's Bond With Caitlyn Grows After Transition

For the record, Caitlyn has undergone gender confirmation surgery and identifies as a woman, not a man, which may explain why Kendall and Kylie chose not to include her in their Father's Day tributes, possibly out of respect for her gender identity.

Still, Kendall has long shared a close bond with Caitlyn and even acknowledged that their relationship deepened after her transition.

"When my dad came out as transgender, our relationship grew," the top model told PEOPLE in June 2020. "She could finally be honest with me. We could talk about deep emotions she was feeling through that time. Growing up, my dad was not usually one to talk about her feelings, so that was a big step for us."

She also added, "I've been a daddy's girl my whole life."

While Kourtney's post was filled with love for her husband and their blended family, the absence of Disick didn't go unnoticed, sparking debate about what divorced co-parenting looks like in the public eye.
