You’ve seen the headlines. You’ve probably caught the snippets of chaos on Hulu. But honestly, trying to keep track of the ever-expanding Kardashian-Barker brood is like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube that keeps adding new colors.
Kourtney Kardashian has always been the "rebel" mom of the family. While her sisters were building billion-dollar shapewear empires or launching makeup kits, Kourt was busy researching the benefits of organic goat milk and the evils of microwave radiation. Now, in 2026, her life is a wild, beautiful mix of teenage angst, heavy metal influences, and the quiet intensity of attachment parenting.
The "original" trio—Mason, Penelope, and Reign—aren't little kids anymore. And then there’s baby Rocky, the miracle child who changed the entire family dynamic.
The big brother: Mason Dash Disick
Mason is 16 now. Let that sink in for a second. The kid we literally watched being born on E! is officially a young man.
He’s famously low-key. Unlike his cousins who seem to live for the TikTok spotlight, Mason has spent the last few years actively avoiding the cameras. Kourtney has been super vocal about respecting his privacy, even though fans are always dying for a glimpse of him. He’s got his own verified Instagram, but he barely posts.
Basically, he's the "cool, mysterious" older brother who’d rather be hanging out with his dad, Scott Disick, or his friends than filming a confessional. There was even talk about him wanting to move to New York for a bit. Imagine a Disick in NYC—it’s very Gossip Girl vibes.
The style icon: Penelope Scotland Disick
If Mason is the mystery, Penelope is the heartbeat. At 13, she’s basically Kourtney’s mini-me, but with a sharper fashion sense.
She’s recently been spotted touring the set of Gilmore Girls with her mom, looking every bit the "Stars Hollow" resident in yellow cardigans and vintage-inspired bags. Penelope has always had this sort of "cool girl" energy. Whether she’s rocking a Cheetah Girls costume or doing a skincare routine on TikTok, she does it with a shrug.
She’s also the bridge in the blended family. She’s tight with North West, but she’s also built a real bond with her step-siblings, Alabama and Landon Barker.
The wild card: Reign Aston Disick
Reign is 11, and he’s still the funniest person in the room. He’s the one who gave us the iconic "Mohawk" era and the "giving his mom a hard time" clips that live forever on the internet.
Honestly, Reign is Scott Disick’s twin. He’s got that same dry humor and "I don’t care" attitude. One day he’s "driving" a yacht on his dad’s lap, and the next he’s getting a $2,000 bedroom makeover with custom neon signs. He’s definitely living the lavish life, but with a rebellious streak that makes him a fan favorite.
The miracle: Rocky Thirteen Barker
Then there’s Rocky. Born in November 2023, he is the first child Kourtney shares with Travis Barker.
His journey into the world wasn't easy. While Kourtney was pregnant, she had to undergo emergency fetal surgery because of fluid in his lungs. It was a "terrifying" moment—Travis was literally on tour in Europe and had to rush home, while Kourtney stayed calm in that weirdly intense way she does during crises.
Now, Rocky is a thriving two-year-old. Kourtney is currently deep into "attachment parenting" with him. That means:
- No Tylenol if she can avoid it (she’d rather nurse a fever away).
- Co-sleeping in the same room.
- Holding him for entire five-hour naps. Yes, five hours.
- Using a "radiation blanket" so she can scroll her phone while he sleeps on her.
It’s controversial. People on the internet love to judge it. But Kourt basically says "why do kids even go to school?" and keeps doing her thing.
The Barker "Bonus" Kids
You can't talk about Kourtney’s kids without mentioning the ones she "gained" when she married Travis. This isn't just a two-parent household; it's a massive, seven-kid ecosystem.
- Landon Barker (22): The aspiring musician who’s already making waves in the pop-punk scene.
- Alabama Barker (20): A social media powerhouse with millions of followers.
- Atiana De La Hoya (26): Travis’s stepdaughter from his marriage to Shanna Moakler, who remains a core part of the family.
Moving in together: The Great Renovation
For a long time, Kourtney and Travis lived in separate houses just down the street from each other. They wanted to make sure the kids felt comfortable before smashing the two families together.
But in late 2025 and into 2026, they finally committed to the "one roof" life. Kourtney renovated her entire home to make sure every single child—biological or step—had their own space. She’s even admitted that she’s becoming like her mother, Kris Jenner, wanting all her kids around her at all times.

They have a Sunday dinner ritual. They set the table for 12 people every single week. Sometimes everyone shows up, and it’s pure chaos. Sometimes it’s just Kourtney, Travis, and the baby. They’ve learned to just "let it flow."
What we can learn from the Kardashian-Barker blend
Managing a family this size in the public eye is a nightmare, but Kourtney seems to have found a rhythm that works. She focuses on individual autonomy—letting Mason be private while letting Alabama be public.
If you're trying to navigate your own blended family or just curious about how they make it work, the takeaway is simple: patience. It took them years to finally move in together. They didn't rush the "step-parent" roles, and they prioritized the kids' comfort over a "perfect" family photo.
Next steps for keeping up with the crew:
If you want to see the latest on their home renovation or the "attachment parenting" journey, the newest episodes of The Kardashians are the only place for the unfiltered truth. Just don't expect Mason to be in every scene—he's busy being a teenager, and honestly, we should probably let him.
