Kourtney Kardashian calls split rumors 'fabricated,' says she and Travis Barker are renovating their home

When Kourtney Kardashian's publicist texted her that a magazine was preparing to report she and husband Travis Barker no longer shared a home and were splitting up, her response was blunt: let them run it.

Tell them to print it. Just see what happens. They know it is not true.— Kourtney Kardashian

Kardashian made the remarks on the November 5 episode of her Hulu series The Kardashians, addressing the speculation directly on camera while speaking with friend Simon Huck, who had already called the claims 'conspiracy theories' and flagged what he described as 'insane' AI videos circulating on social media.

Kardashian traced the rumor to what she called a 'dumb' TikTok video posted by someone she said 'makes up fabricated stories.' That a magazine was apparently prepared to report the claim based on such a source visibly frustrated her.

And people believe it! It's so bizarre.— Kourtney Kardashian

Far from living apart, Kardashian said she and Barker are in the final stretch of renovating their shared home to fit their blended family — a project she has described on the show as creating 'new energy and new vibes' for everyone moving back in together.

I can't wait to cook, have movie nights, barbecues. I want to make it feel magical for everyone.— Kourtney Kardashian

The blended household Kardashian is renovating for is a large one. She shares Mason, 16, Penelope, 14, and Reign, 11, with ex-boyfriend Scott Disick. Barker, 50, shares Landon, 23, and Alabama, 20, with ex-wife Shanna Moakler, and remains a father figure to Moakler's daughter Atiana De La Hoya, 27. The couple's son Rocky was born in November 2023 after a pregnancy that included emergency fetal surgery and, the pair revealed in Barker's documentary Louder Than Fear, a prior miscarriage.

The episode aired days after Barker, 50, publicly shared photos from a hospital stay. He later explained he had undergone a nerve test that showed he needed a cubital tunnel release procedure, according to Page Six. Kardashian was reported to have supported him during the hospitalization.

The couple, who began dating in 2021 after years of friendship, married at a Santa Barbara courthouse in May 2022 and held a larger ceremony in Portofino, Italy, the following week. The episode of The Kardashians is available on Hulu; new episodes drop every Thursday.

Why it matters — The episode illustrates how quickly unverified social-media content — a single TikTok — can escalate into magazine-level reporting, and how public figures are increasingly using their own reality platforms to respond in real time.
