Kourtney Kardashian Barker is very protective over her baby boy.
On this week’s episode of The Kardashians, the Lemme co-founder, 48, prepares for her trip to Australia to follow husband Travis Barker on tour along with their son Rocky Thirteen, who was born in November 2023. While speaking with her sister Kim Kardashian, the mom of four expresses why she has “anxiety” about her upcoming visit.
The SKIMS founder, 43, tells her sister, “It’s the best time to travel with a baby,” as she advises her on how to shield baby Rocky from the cameras.
“You could either have a carrier and cover him or have a stroller when you land and get there,” she recommends.
Kim then warns Kourtney, “Actually, the paparazzi is brutal, from the moment you land. It’s paparazzi city.”
Kourtney says that Rocky is “super easy” when it comes to traveling, but what makes her nervous is the “brutal” paparazzi. “So that’s one thing, I haven’t shown him and there’s no paparazzi rules,” she says of the laws in Australia.
In a confessional, Kourtney tells the cameras, “I’m starting to get a little bit of anxiety about going to Australia. Rocky hasn’t been seen and in California, there’s a law that if I don’t show the baby’s face, the paparazzi has to blur his image.”
“But in Australia,” she continues, “supposedly there are no paparazzi laws, so they can take the pH๏τo and, you know, sell their image.”
“So I think even knowing that we’re going on a plane with a lot of people, I’m just feeling really protective,” she adds about flying commercial. “It’s just a lot to think about.”
Elsewhere in the episode, the reality TV star chats with her long-time friend Erin Paxton about the stress she feels when it comes to balancing all seven kids between her and husband.
“I have kids all different age ranges — preteen, teenage, adults, an infant. So I really try to set aside one-on-one time with each of my kids,” Kourtney says during a confessional. “I don’t want to miss anything. It’s like a feeling of being pulled in different directions, like wanting to be everything to everyone.”
Back in the scene, the Poosh founder tells Paxton that she’s now “feeling the guilt of all the kids,” adding that she’s now a mom to “four plus three bonus.”
“And yesterday the guilt really hit where I was like, ‘Okay I have to do more with the other kids.’ So I don’t know how I’m balancing it yet,” she admits.
