Landon Barker has come a long way since he refused to hold his baby brother, Rocky, following his birth in November 2023.
Travis Barker's son revealed that he has formed a close bond with his baby brother – whose mom is Kourtney Kardashian – now that Rocky is a little older.
The 21-year-old musician is over his fears and revealed that he has finally embraced his little brother.

Landon admitted that Rocky is now "the size" where he feels more comfortable holding him after getting over his "weird fear" that Rocky was "so fragile".
"He's a little bit bigger now, so I feel very comfortable holding him now," he shared.
Landon and Rocky have formed such a good relationship that his baby brother has his own nickname for him now, calling his big brother 'Don'.

Last November, Landon revealed that he had yet to hold his then three-month-old sibling because of his "baby fear".
"OK, let me get down deep into it," he said at the time. "I'm a little bit scared of babies."

Kourtney and Travis welcomed Rocky on November 4, marking their first child together. However, both parents have children from previous relationships.
Kourtney shares Mason, 14, Penelope, 12, and Reign, nine, with her ex Scott Disick. Travis is dad to Alabama Barker, 19, and Atiana De La Hoya, 26.

Between August and September 2023, Kourtney was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery while she was still pregnant with Rocky.

Kourtney opened up about what led to the surgery in an episode of The Kardashians. "We had planned a scan at home so that all the kids could see the baby. And Travis was about to leave for tour."
She continued: "The doctor who will come to the house to do the scan is a high-risk doctor who's really detailed and thorough at looking for everything. And something caught his eye where he wanted me to see a couple specialists. I had to go in for fetal surgery, in which they do surgery on the baby, which was terrifying."
The Poosh founder stated that the "timing of it was miraculous," and mentioned how she was "so grateful for how everything played out and for the doctors that really helped to make the best decisions that really saved our baby."
