Behind the tattoos and the rockstar life, Travis Barker is all about keeping things in the family, a proud dad and husband above all else.
At the "Run Travis Run" 5K event in Los Angeles on Saturday July 5, he spoke with People about the joy he has being able to bring his family to work.
The 48-year-old Blink-182 drummer and producer is a father to four children, those being his son Landon, 20, and daughter Alabama, 18, with ex-wife Shanna Moakler; Atianna De La Hoya, Shanna's daughter from her previous relationship; and Rocky 13 Barker, eight months, with now-wife Kourtney Kardashian.
Travis gushed about having his son Landon, also a musician and a signee of his dad's DTA Records, join him and his Blink-182 bandmates on tour for a few upcoming dates, their first time performing together on a recurring basis on stage.
He revealed he was "so proud," adding that they were able to spend some time together when he was home last. "He was at home rehearsing the last few days and I got to see him."
Travis shared just how much his son was taking after him, to the point of actively working with dad. "I've been helping him with music, while I'm home, here and there. So yeah, I'm really proud of him."

In a previous conversation with the publication promoting "Run Travis Run," the apparel creator also spoke about his relationship with his wife Kourtney and charted the trajectory of their relationship as longtime friends-to-lovers.
He revealed that the pair actually bonded, appropriately enough, over fitness and wellness. “It's one of the main reasons we were so close."

He also emphasized how important it was for them to spend time together since welcoming their baby last November. "We'll do Pilates together, we'll carve out a half hour or an hour every day to go out."

"It should just be fun," he said. "Even if they see this, and they don't run it, maybe it motivates them to get outside." His own exercise routine often involved "walking 30 minutes while I consume some sort of audiobook or podcast."
