Kourtney Kardashian has fiercely dismissed rumors that her marriage to Travis Barker is falling apart, revealing the unusual response she gave when her publicist asked about reports that they were living separately.
The reality star said the claims originated from fabricated social media content, expressing disbelief that a TikTok video could fuel speculation about her relationship with the Blink-182 drummer.
While Kourtney Kardashian refused to rush into issuing a denial, she revealed that the couple has actually been preparing their home for a fresh chapter with their blended family.
Kourtney Kardashian Calls Out Living-Apart Rumors With Travis Barker
Kardashian addressed the speculation during the November 5 episode of Hulu’s “The Kardashians,” recounting a surprising exchange with her publicist. According to PEOPLE, the representative contacted her after hearing that a magazine planned to report that she and Barker were no longer sharing a home.
“The magazine is saying that you and Travis don’t live together anymore and you are splitting up,” Kardashian recalled her publicist telling her. Instead of attempting to stop the report, the 47-year-old encouraged her representative to let the publication proceed.
“Tell them to print it,” she responded. “Just see what happens.” The Lemme founder explained that she was confident the story was inaccurate and questioned why anyone would consider publishing it.
The Reality Star Blames A ‘D-mb’ TikTok For Marriage Speculation
While speaking to longtime friend Simon Huck, Kardashian criticized the way questionable online stories spread into celebrity coverage. “They know it is not true,” she said, referring to those circulating the claims.
She attributed the speculation to a “dumb TikTok” made by someone she accused of inventing stories about celebrities. “And people believe it!” Kardashian added. “It’s so bizarre.”
Huck also criticized the proliferation of conspiracy theories and artificial intelligence-generated videos involving the famous family. However, Kardashian did not identify the TikTok account responsible or publicly name the magazine that approached her representative.
The accusations about the couple separating should therefore be understood as rumors she expressly denied, not confirmed developments in their marriage.
Kourtney Kardashian Reveals The Real Reason For Changes At Their Home
Far from announcing a separation, Kardashian has been working to make the couple’s home more comfortable for their extended family. During an earlier season of “The Kardashians,” she explained that renovation plans were intended to accommodate children from both sides of the household.
“My goal in renovating my house and all the changes we’re making is so that we can all fit,” she said, as quoted by E! News. She also wanted the property to feel refreshed when everyone returned, with a new atmosphere and renewed family energy.
Kardashian has acknowledged that blending households requires adjustments, particularly when children have established routines and personal spaces. The construction has temporarily disrupted the family’s usual living arrangements, but that is different from a marital separation.

Kardashian also discussed her hopes for life inside the renovated property during the November 5 episode. She said she was excited about welcoming relatives and enjoying ordinary activities together once the work was completed.
“I can’t wait to cook, have movie nights, barbecues,” she revealed. “I want to make it feel magical for everyone.” The couple share son Rocky, who celebrated his third birthday on November 1. Kardashian also shares Mason, Penelope, and Reign with former partner Scott Disick.
Barker, meanwhile, is father to Landon and Alabama and remains a father figure to Atiana De La Hoya from his marriage to Shanna Moakler. The renovation update placed their immediate focus on creating a shared home rather than taking steps toward separate futures.
Inside Kourtney Kardashian And Travis Barker’s Blended Family
The couple married in 2022 after their longtime friendship developed into a romantic relationship. Their family dynamics have also attracted scrutiny, including speculation about Kardashian’s relationship with Barker’s daughter Alabama.
As The Blast previously reported, a source claimed the two were in a better place after tensions linked to Alabama’s public disagreement with Bhad Bhabie.
The publication reported that Barker had worked to maintain harmony among his loved ones, although those earlier claims came from unnamed insiders.
More recently, The Blast covered Kardashian’s revelation that Kanye West once offered her advice about dating before her relationship with Barker began.
For now, Kardashian’s own remarks are unambiguous: she rejects the latest separation rumors and is looking forward to bringing her family together under one renovated roof.
