Kourtney Kardashian Reveals She and Travis Barker Keep Vials of Each Other’s Blood
Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker have, quite literally, put blood, sweat and tears into their romance.
As for the proof? The Poosh founder recently shared a glimpse at a scrapbook of keepsakes she's been working on as a gift for her husband. And while the passion project contains items one would usually expect such as pictures and souvenirs, there's just one object that stands above the rest: A vial of blood.
It's an artifact that Kourtney keeps close to (and just maybe from) the heart—and one that she makes sure doesn't go unnoticed. In fact, after sister Khloe Kardashian goes through the pages of her gift during the May 30 episode of The Kardashians, Kourtney asks point blank, "Did you see my blood vial in there?"
Khloe's response? "What? No." (For more must-see moments from The Kardashians, check out Kards Katch Up here).
And after confirming to Khloe that it is, indeed, a real vial of blood, Kourtney—who shares 6-month-old son Rocky with Travis and is also mom to kids Mason Disick, 14, Penelope Disick, 11, and Reign Disick, 9 with ex Scott Disick—revealed that the point of drawing it was pretty simple: "Just to, like, have each other's."
It's a revelation that Khloe, who likened the move to Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie's display of affection during their marriage in the early aughts, had to visibly think twice about.
"To want to show off your blood vials is also like, alright, if that's what you're into," she says in a confessional. "But it's very, like, Billy Bob Thornton of them. In my every minute of the day, do I want to be like, harnessing a tube of blood? Not for me. But that's what makes the world go round. We're all different."
And this isn't the first time that Kourtney has displayed this level of affection with the Blink-182 drummer. In fact, the mom of four first raised eyebrows when she and Travis began dating by posting a photo of a vial of his blood to her Instagram Stories in 2021.
Fast-forward nearly three years later and they're still basking in the twilight of their romance. Keep reading for a look at their photos as a family.
