It seems Kourtney Kardashian’s recent Father’s Day post for Travis Barker has stirred up quite a bit of controversy. While she celebrated Travis as a father to their son Rocky and acknowledged his role in their blended family, the absence of any mention or tribute to her ex-partner Scott Disick, who is a father to their three children, sparked backlash among her followers.
In her Instagram post, Kourtney shared a series of photos highlighting Travis with their son Rocky, including intimate moments on a bed and a private jet, along with a picture featuring Travis with Kourtney and Scott’s son, Reign, on a beach. The caption expressed gratitude towards Travis for being a loving father figure to Rocky and all their children, referring to the kids from both of their previous relationships. She praised Travis for his protective and caring nature, concluding with a sentiment that having a family with him is like “heaven.”
However, the omission of any mention of Scott Disick in the Father’s Day tribute did not sit well with many fans. Commenters quickly pointed out that Kourtney’s post seemed to disregard Scott’s role as a father to Mason, Penelope, and Reign. Some criticized her for not showing respect towards the father of her other children, arguing that by not acknowledging Scott, she was indirectly disrespecting her own children.
One user wrote, “What about Scott? Couldn’t wish him a Happy Father’s Day,” while another commented, “Girl, that’s messed up. You diss your children when you diss their dad. Show some respect for their father.” The sentiment among the comments echoed disappointment and frustration over what was seen as a slight towards Scott on a day meant to honor fathers.
Scott Disick and Kourtney Kardashian have a history of co-parenting their children together, despite no longer being in a romantic relationship. Travis Barker, on the other hand, is relatively new to Kourtney’s life as her husband since 2022 and stepfather to her youngest child, Rocky.
The backlash serves as a reminder of the sensitivity surrounding blended family dynamics and the expectations placed on public figures like Kourtney Kardashian to acknowledge all parental figures in their children’s lives, especially on significant occasions like Father’s Day.
