Travis Barker has the full support of Kourtney Kardashian and The Kardashians family following his pancreatitis health scare. The Blink-182 drummer was hospitalized last week after falling terribly ill following an endoscopy. His family and fans expressed their concerns for Travis, who is no stranger to life-threatening experiences. Kourtney took to social media over the weekend to blast the paparazzi for portraying a false narrative of her amid her husband’s health emergency.
Kourtney called out photographers over the Fourth of July weekend, as Travis worked to repair his health. The Poosh founder was upset that the paparazzi posted old photos of her during Travis’s time in the hospital. They made it seem like she was “out and about” while her husband was fighting for his life. Kourtney’s issued a statement after she and Travis both let the public know that all was well, following his emergency visit to the hospital at the start of the week. Kim Kardashian reposted Kourtney’s message to the paparazzi, as a sign of solidarity with her sister and brother-in-law.
Following the health scare, insiders say that Travis is “doing much better,” and even got out of the house to celebrate the Fourth of July with his family. “They had a nice relaxing holiday at the beach,” a source told Us Weekly. Travis wanted his fans to know that he was out of the hospital and feeling fine, so he posted up a photo on his Instagram Story, showing a vintage car and the beach. Kourtney also posted a video of herself riding in the car with her two youngest kids, Penelope Disick, 9, and Reign Disick, 7. Travis is still “taking it easy” at the request of his doctors, the insider shared. As he focuses on recovery, “Kourtney is there for him 100 percent and is truly the best supportive wife,” the source said.
Other insiders told ET that Kourtney has “been by Travis’ side throughout everything and has been nonstop taking care of him and making sure he is ok.” Travis also has the support of Kourtney’s family, who rallied together to send the rock star a lavish bouquet of flowers after he was released from the hospital. It was a stressful situation for the newlyweds, who tied the knot in a gorgeous castle-side ceremony in Portofino, Italy in May. Travis and Kourtney had just celebrated their one-month anniversary when he fell extremely ill. He detailed how he felt extreme pain in his lower abdomen. After eating dinner following his endoscopy, he vomited.
Travis would later learn that he had a bad case of pancreatitis that could’ve been fatal. He had another near-death experience in the past, when he survived a plane crash that took the lives of his friends. For years, the traumatic experience left him too frightened to fly. Since Kourtney came into his life romantically, Travis has returned to flying so it’s easier to see the world. The Kardashians star remains a loyal supporter of her husband. Unfortunately, Kourtney and Travis got an early test on the “in sickness and in health” part of their wedding vows.
