Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker welcomed their baby Rocky in November 2023, and since his arrival, they've kept him out of the limelight.
The Blink-182 drummer and his reality star wife have gone to extreme measures to stop Rocky from being seen by the public, with Kourtney explaining she felt reluctant to take him out of their gated community in Calabasas.
However, the rock'n'roll couple appears to have turned a corner this week, with Kourtney sharing four photos of their son on Instagram.

While Kourtney and Travis were in the UK for Blink-182's tour dates, the mother of four posted a photo showing Rocky's crop of dark hair, as they enjoyed a jaunt around Soho farmhouse (see above).
The rare photo of the baby clearly went down well, because on Thursday, Kourtney shared three more glimpses of her life with the little one.
In the first photo, Kourtney sits with Rocky on her lap as she plans a game with her son Reign, nine. Scott Disick's youngest son smiles cheekily for the camera, while Rocky, dressed in his trademark black, gazes at his mother.

A change in approach
Kourtney previously said that her husband was incredibly protective over their son, hesitant to allow his wife and baby to travel without him.

While the couple has yet to share photos of their son's face, it feels like it will only be a matter of time, given that they're sharing more and more of the youngster as the months go by.

Their decision to shield Rocky from the public eye is in stark contrast to Kourtney's parenting of her and Scott Disick's children, Mason, Penelope and Reign, who have all been in the family's reality show since birth and frequently appear on social media.
Travis' grown-up children, Atiana, 25, Landon, 20, and Alabama, 18, all have strong social media followings of their own, with Alabama active on Instagram since she was a young teen.

We look forward to seeing more of Rocky!
