Kardashian & Barker: Devastating Miscarriage Revealed
27 Jul
Summary
- Couple experienced a devastating miscarriage six months into relationship.
- They endured five IVF attempts before conceiving naturally.
- Kardashian had urgent fetal surgery to save their child.
Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker have shared the profound grief of losing a baby six months into their relationship. This deeply personal story was unveiled during the premiere of Travis Barker's documentary, "Travis Barker: Louder Than Fear," in June 2026. Kardashian tearfully described the devastation, stating they "cried for days" after the loss.
The couple's quest for a family was marked by significant challenges. After discovering their pregnancy six months into their relationship and naming their unborn daughter Tulip, they received the tragic news at three months that the baby no longer had a heartbeat. They then embarked on an arduous journey of five in vitro fertilization (IVF) attempts over an eight-month period.
Ultimately, in May 2026, they decided to stop IVF treatments and focus on natural conception. Kardashian's pregnancy announcement at a Blink-182 concert in June 2026 brought joy, but it was soon overshadowed by another heartbreaking discovery during a follow-up appointment three months later: the unborn child again had no heartbeat. Kardashian subsequently underwent urgent fetal surgery to save their child, a procedure she credited Barker's support for helping her through.
Their perseverance ultimately led to the birth of their son, Rocky, in November 2026. The documentary, available for streaming on Hulu starting August 13, 2026, chronicles their intimate struggles and triumphs in building their family. Kardashian also has three children from a previous relationship, and Barker has two from his prior marriage.
