Travis Barker Lauds Wife Kourtney Kardashian For Running 5K Months After Successful Surgery, Pregnancy

Travis Barker couldn't be prouder of his wife, Kourtney Kardashian, for running 5 kilometers months after a successful fetal surgery and giving birth to their son.

Barker and Kardashian recently appeared at the rocker's "Run Travis Run" event at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California.

"My wife's a beast!" Barker told Page Six. "She's never done this [before]. She thinks I'm crazy because some mornings I'll wake up and she'll be like, 'Where are you going?' I'm like, 'I heard there's a 5K, babe, I'm gonna run it.'"

As expected, the couple was very public about their affection going into the run. Barker finished the entire five kilometers in under 20 minutes, while Kardashian walked to the finish line with some of her friends.

"It was really cool to have her be a part of it," Barker raved about his wife. "It was awesome. It was everything I imagined."

Unbeknownst to many, the Run Travis Run event benefits the Boys & Girls Club of America, a voluntary organization chosen by Barker. The Blink-182 drummer has made running a pre-show ritual, so he hosted it before embarking on the band's One More Time Tour stop at the SoFi Stadium on July 6, 2024.

"I feel great, I'm just on that natural high after you run. I do this every day ... just not at this pace though," Barker said of his active lifestyle. "But once you're around all of these people, you can't help but be hyped and motivated."

As for Kardashian, it was certainly a huge accomplishment for the reality show star after she had undergone a difficult pregnancy. Kardashian revealed that she underwent fetal surgery for their son Rocky when she was still pregnant.

Back in October 2023, Kardashian was rushed into an emergency fetal surgery, with Barker flying back home from a Blink-182 tour to be with his wife's side.

"I will be forever grateful to my incredible doctors for saving our baby's life. I am eternally grateful to my husband who rushed to my side from tour to be with me in the hospital and take care of me afterwards, my rock. And to my mom, thank you for holding my hand through this," Kardashian said in an Instagram post shortly after the surgery.
