Kourtney Kardashian has revealed she suffered a miscarriage six months into her relationship with Travis Barker, a story shared in his new documentary, "Louder Than Fear." The film chronicles Barker's life, career, and his near-fatal 2008 plane crash.
In the documentary, which will premiere on Hulu and Disney+ on August 13, Barker, 50, discusses his romance with Kardashian, 47, which began in 2020 after years of friendship. He expressed falling "madly in love" with Kardashian and shared their joy upon learning of her pregnancy.
The couple discovered they were expecting a baby girl and planned to name her Tulip. However, a three-month scan revealed the tragic news that the baby no longer had a heartbeat. "When we lost the baby, we were devastated. We cried for days," Kardashian stated in the documentary.
Barker explained their decision to share their story, telling PEOPLE that experiences like their journey through miscarriages, failed IVF attempts, and ultimately having a child naturally, are relatable to many. He noted that the revelation came about organically through interviews for the documentary, rather than being planned for Kourtney's reality series, "The Kardashians."
The documentary also delves into Barker's survival of a 2008 plane crash that killed four others, including two pilots, his assistant Chris Baker, and bodyguard Che Still. The sole other survivor, DJ AM, died of an overdose the following year. The crash left Barker, a frequent flyer, with severe burns and an aversion to flying, which he overcame with Kardashian's support.
Barker, who has been open about his struggles with sobriety and trauma, used his music and later his family as catalysts for healing. He recounted the immense physical and emotional toll of the crash, undergoing numerous surgeries and extensive rehabilitation. He stated that his family, including Kardashian and their children, have been instrumental in his recovery and his ability to fly again.
He added that his children have been his "greatest joy." The couple welcomed their son, Rocky, in 2023 after undergoing IVF treatments. Barker hopes his story, and their openness about loss and resilience, can help others facing similar challenges.
