Travis Barker had an extra-special birthday on Tuesday November 14, as it's his first with his youngest son Rocky, who he welcomed with wife Kourtney Kardashian earlier this month. 

The Blink 182 star was inundated with messages on his special day, including a heartfelt tribute from his daughter Alabama Barker, 17, who opened up about what kind of father the musician is. 

Baby Rocky is incredibly lucky, as the teenager had nothing but positive things to say about Travis' parenting skills.

She penned: "Happy birthday to my everything! I couldn't have asked for a better father to raise me. I'm so thankful to have you, you've always made sure you've put your kids before anybody and have given us unconditional love." 

She continued: "I've always been attached to your hip, you really are my hero, you inspire me every single day... you're such a loving, caring, hardworking, hustling, amazing father to us, you gave us such a beautiful life and I'm beyond grateful for everything you do for us, your mindset has taught me so much!

In a recent interview with Vanity Fair Italia, Kourtney opened up about the terrifying experience. She said: "I think all this caution made me a little afraid because in the past I had never had to be careful. It took me a while to let go of the fear. I would say that right after the surgery I got to the point where I let go and stopped worrying. Now I talk to the child every day, have a positive mindset, keep my head straight. and say a lot of prayers. I feel really lucky and grateful." 

Travis, meanwhile, had a difficult time of it in September, when he had to undergo dental surgery, was diagnosed with COVID-19 and was hit by an episode of trigeminal neuralgia.

Trigeminal neuralgia is a treatable condition that causes “painful sensations similar to an electric shock on one side of the face".
