Kourtney Kardashian Barker has dismissed speculation that her marriage to Travis Barker is in trouble, describing reports that the couple are living separately as fabricated stories.
The reality television star addressed the rumours during the November 5 episode of The Kardashians, after her publicist approached her about claims circulating in the media that she and the Blink-182 drummer had stopped living together and were heading for a split.
Recalling the conversation, Kourtney said her publicist told her, "The magazine is saying that you and Travis don't live together anymore and you are splitting up." The 47-year-old said she was unconcerned about the claims, responding, "Tell them to print it. Just see what happens. They know it is not true."
She also questioned how the speculation gained traction, suggesting it originated from a TikTok video. "And people believe it!" she remarked. "It's so bizarre."
Far from separating, Kourtney explained that she and Travis, 50, have been working on renovating their home to accommodate their blended family. The couple share a three-year-old son, Rocky, while Kourtney has three older children, Mason, 16, Penelope, 14, and Reign, 11, with her former partner Scott Disick.
Travis also has three children from his previous marriage to Shanna Moakler: stepdaughter Atiana de la Hoya, 27, son Landon, 23, and daughter Alabama, 20.
The renovations are intended to create a comfortable space where everyone can live together. Kourtney previously discussed the project on the reality series, explaining that the changes were meant to give the family a fresh start.
During Thursday's episode, the Poosh founder also expressed excitement about returning to the completed home and creating new memories with her family, particularly as the holiday season approaches.
"I can't wait to cook, have movie nights, barbecues," she said. "I want to make it feel magical for everyone."
