Travis Barker says his and Kourtney Kardashian’s miscarriage story can help many people

“When there’s things that can benefit people or help people relate to something, I think that’s always like a green light, especially — she’s always trying to do something like that,” Barker said.

The 50-year-old then added, “Our journey of miscarriages and then IVF and it’s failed, resulting in us having a baby naturally — like I feel like that’s a story that so many people can relate [to].”

Further into the podcast, Barker was asked why he did not share it on ‘The Kardashians’, he replied, “The way the documentary happens is through a series of interviews. I’ll say something, and then they’re like, ‘Oh, well tell me more about that.’ And that’s how that came up.”
