The Moment
Kourtney Kardashian used her Father’s Day post to celebrate husband Travis Barker, and only Travis Barker. Over the weekend, she shared a PDA-heavy Instagram shot and called him her baby daddy with a heart. What she didn’t do: mention Scott Disick, the father of her three older kids.
Predictably, fans filled the comments with questions about Scott. Some asked where his shout-out was, others pointed out Scott didn’t post about Kourtney on Mother’s Day this year. The post itself stayed focused on the present tense of Kourtney’s life: the husband she married in 2022 and their little boy, Rocky.
The Take
I know the internet loves a snub storyline, but this reads less like shade and more like boundaries in a blended family. Kourtney curates her grid like a family album: one page per chapter. Father’s Day isn’t a group project, it’s a personal note. Expecting her to tag Scott on a tribute to Travis is like insisting a wedding toast include your prom date. Awkward at best, messy at worst.
Also worth noting: co-parenting with an ex doesn’t require a public holiday shout-out. That’s not how maturity works, especially when there are multiple teens, a toddler, touring schedules, and reality cameras in the mix. The Kardashians built an empire on letting us watch the sausage get made. That doesn’t mean every card, call, or olive branch has to be posted to the grid.
Bottom line: The post lived in Kourtney’s now. The comments lived in our nostalgia. Those aren’t the same address.
Receipts
Confirmed:
- Kourtney posted a Father’s Day Instagram tribute to Travis Barker in June 2026, featuring a PDA photo and calling him her baby daddy (per Kourtney’s public Instagram post).
- The tribute did not reference Scott Disick (visible in the post’s caption and images).
- Kourtney and Travis married in 2022 (both shared wedding photos and captions on their Instagram accounts at the time).
- The couple welcomed son Rocky in November 2023 (publicly announced on Instagram).
- Kourtney and Scott share three kids, Mason, Penelope, and Reign, and have discussed the challenges of co-parenting on their Hulu series The Kardashians (Scott in 2022, Kourtney in an October 2025 episode).
Unverified/Reported:
- That Scott Disick did not acknowledge Kourtney on Mother’s Day 2026. This has been claimed by commenters but isn’t documented here via a primary post from Scott.
- That Kourtney and Travis experienced a prior miscarriage before Rocky’s birth. Kourtney publicly discussed emergency fetal surgery in 2023, but a miscarriage has not been confirmed by the couple.
- Specific fan comment quotes about the post. Unless directly viewable on the live Instagram, treat as paraphrase of typical reactions.
Backstory (for Casual Readers)
Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick dated on and off from 2006 to 2015 and share three children. Kourtney started seeing Travis Barker, Blink-182’s drummer, in late 2020. They wed in 2022 and welcomed their first child together, Rocky, in November 2023 after a complicated pregnancy that included emergency fetal surgery. On their series, both Kourtney and Scott have admitted co-parenting isn’t always easy, which is normal when you blend histories, households, and a very public life.
What’s Next
Watch for whether Scott or Kourtney adds any quiet acknowledgments in Stories or future posts. The family often handles sensitive beats off the main grid. The Kardashians tends to fold real-time dustups into future episodes, so a brief nod to Father’s Day discourse wouldn’t be shocking. Meanwhile, Travis is frequently on the road with Blink-182, and Kourtney has made raising Rocky her priority. Expect her feed to keep centering their current family rhythm.
Is skipping an ex in a Father’s Day tribute shade, or just healthy boundaries in 2026 co-parenting?
