In the wake of the revelation that Kourtney Kardashian had to undergo “urgent fetal surgery” to safeguard her unborn child’s life, her devoted husband, Travis Barker, has shared his thoughts on the challenging experience.
Kourtney took to Instagram to candidly describe the harrowing medical ordeal she faced during her current pregnancy, which coincided with Travis’s abrupt departure from his tour due to an “urgent family matter.”
In her heartfelt social media post, Kourtney acknowledged that this pregnancy markedly differed from her previous “easy” pregnancies with her other children. She confessed, “I don’t think anyone who hasn’t been through a similar situation can begin to understand that feeling of fear.”
Expressing her profound gratitude for the medical professionals who saved her baby’s life, Kourtney also paid tribute to Travis for being her unwavering support during the emergency, dubbing him her “rock.”
The reality star extended her appreciation to her mother, Kris Jenner, recognizing her role in providing comfort during the trying time. Kourtney’s post was a poignant reflection of the relief she felt after Travis shared images of a prayer room, signifying his departure from the Blink-182 tour to be by her side.
Travis, in turn, conveyed his relief at the positive outcome for both Kourtney and their baby through a statement on X (formerly known as Twitter). He expressed, “God is great. I flew home for a life-threatening emergency surgery for our baby that I’m so grateful went well. I want to say thank you for all the support. Tour resumes Friday.”
