Keeping it real. Travis Barker opened up about his IVF journey with wife Kourtney Kardashian — and explained why he’s proud to share the intimate details with the world.

“If any of that can help people – seeing Kourtney’s journey through IVF, which is super hard for a woman. You saw her struggle with it and talk about it. That’s real,”  Barker, 47, told GQ in an interview published on Thursday, November 17.

Kardashian shares Mason, 12, Penelope, 10, and Reign, 7, with ex-boyfriend Scott Disick. Barker, for his part, shares son Landon, 18, and daughter Alabama, 16, with ex-wife Shanna Moakler. The “Rock Show” artist is also the former stepdad of 23-year-old Atiana De La Hoya, the daughter of Oscar De La Hoya and Moakler, 47.

“The fertility journey, Travis and I, we stay in the moment and just do the steps that we need to do,” Kardashian shared during a May episode of the show. “It is nice to hear good news and have some positivity. We love
