Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker revealed they suffered a miscarriage prior to the birth of their son, Rocky [1].
The disclosure brings public attention to the emotional toll of pregnancy loss, a topic the couple chose to share through a documentary format.
The details were shared in the Hulu documentary "Travis Barker: Louder Than Fear" [2]. The couple said they were expecting a baby girl and had picked out the name "Tulip" [1]. According to the report, the pregnancy stopped developing and the baby no longer had a heartbeat during a three-month appointment [1].
"When we lost the baby, we were devastated. We cried for days," Kardashian said [2].
The loss occurred before the birth of their son, Rocky, who was born in 2023 [2]. The couple said the experience was a painful part of their story that they decided to make public to provide transparency about their family journey.
Barker said he is grateful for the love and support the couple received after sharing the news [3]. The revelation appeared in the documentary released in 2024, though the event itself took place prior to the 2023 birth of their son [2].
The couple's decision to name the baby "Tulip" was highlighted as a personal detail of their grieving process [1]. By documenting the experience, the pair detailed the specific timing of the loss at three months gestation [1].
“"When we lost the baby, we were devastated. We cried for days."”
By sharing a private tragedy through a high-profile documentary, Kardashian and Barker contribute to the normalization of discussing pregnancy loss in the public sphere. The specific detail regarding the timing and the chosen name for the fetus emphasizes the emotional attachment and grief associated with early-term miscarriages, potentially encouraging others to seek support for similar experiences.
