In a world where public figures often find themselves under scrutiny, Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker have once again proven their resilience against critics. On the occasion of the Blink-182 drummer’s 48th birthday, Kourtney, 44, took to Instagram to express her deep affection for her husband of one year.
The Instagram tribute was a blend of sensuality and sweetness as Kourtney listed the various roles Travis plays in her life—husband, soulmate, best friend, lover, and daddy to their baby boy. The heartfelt birthday wishes conveyed a sense of gratitude, emphasizing how Travis makes all her dreams come true, and she feels blessed to have him by her side. The post concluded with an expression of love beyond words.
However, the accompanying photo carousel from an old maternity photoshoot drew a wave of negative reactions from fans in the comments section, with terms like “gross” and “trashy” being thrown around. Some commenters advised keeping such intimate pictures private, while others expressed concerns about the potential impact on the couple’s children.
But true to their unapologetic nature, Kourtney and Travis remained unfazed. In a move that reinforced their commitment to each other, Kourtney even liked a comment dismissing the images as resembling a “prison conjugal visit.”
The backlash didn’t deter Travis, who responded with an affirming comment, declaring, “I love you forever, my soulmate [black heart emoji].” This united front from the couple sends a powerful message—they prioritize their relationship over public opinion.
Kourtney and Travis are no strangers to sharing their love and affection publicly, having established a reputation for NSFW couple posts and unabashed displays of love. Their response to the recent criticism once again highlights their commitment to each other and their ability to shut out the noise.
In a world where social media can sometimes be a breeding ground for negativity, Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker’s love story serves as a reminder that, in the face of criticism, staying true to oneself and one’s relationship can be the ultimate act of defiance.
