Barker and Kardashian Share Miscarriage and IVF Struggle in New Documentary

The couple says the interview-style film let them open up to help others who have faced fertility loss.

Overview

  • Travis Barker told The New York Times’ Popcast on Thursday that he and Kourtney Kardashian included their miscarriage in his documentary to connect with people who can relate.
  • In the film Kardashian recounts becoming pregnant early in their relationship and learning at a three-month appointment that the embryo — whom they planned to name Tulip — had no heartbeat.
  • The documentary details repeated fertility efforts, which the couple describe as five IVF attempts in eight months before they paused treatment and later conceived their son Rocky naturally.
  • Travis Barker: Louder Than Fear premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in June and is scheduled to stream on August 13 on Hulu with some reports also listing Disney+.
  • Their decision to tell this story in a solo interview film rather than on their reality show reflects a broader shift of public figures using personal narratives to destigmatize pregnancy loss and prompt deeper public conversation.
