Travis Barker Expresses Pride as Son Landon Joins Blink-182 Tour

In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE at his inaugural “run and wellness experience,” Run Travis Run, the Blink-182 drummer, 48, shared his pride in having his son Landon Barker join him and his bandmates as a guest artist for some upcoming tour dates.

“He was at home rehearsing the last few days and I got to see him,” the Barker Wellness founder said of his 20-year-old son at the Los Angeles event, which featured a 5K run and other wellness activities. “I’ve been helping him with music while I’m home, here and there,” he added about Landon. “So yeah, I’m really proud of him.”

The Run Travis Run event, hosted at the Kia Forum ahead of a Blink-182 show, saw support from other family members, including wife Kourtney Kardashian and stepdaughter Atiana De La Hoya. Travis and Kardashian, 45, share an 8-month-old son, Rocky Thirteen Barker, and each have children from previous relationships. Kardashian shares Mason, Penelope, and Reign with ex Scott Disick, while Barker shares Landon, Atiana, and Alabama with ex-wife Shanna Moakler. Atiana, 25, and Kardashian were spotted at the event in all-black athletic wear, matching Travis.

Kardashian supported her husband throughout the pre-concert wellness event, which Travis started to encourage people to “get outside.” The couple showed their affection with a kiss among the participants. The idea behind Run Travis Run — which will also take place in Queens, New York— is to make running accessible and enjoyable. “I don’t want it to be discouraging,” Travis told PEOPLE ahead of the L.A. event.

“It should just be fun, and I feel like everyone can get out and do 5Ks,” he added. “Even if they see this, and they don’t run it, maybe it motivates them to get outside.”

The ‘All the Small Things’ rocker also revealed that wellness initially bonded him and Kardashian. “One of the main reasons we were so close is because we would always work out together, run together, or do stuff like that together before we were ever in a relationship,” Barker said of the reality star, whom he married in 2022.

“We were workout buddies forever. It was what started it all,” he continued, adding, “It’s amazing to be with someone that has the same love for wellness.”
