Happy belated Mother’s Day to anyone who acknowledges it out there. As will surprise no one, the Kardashians like to make a big deal about Mother’s Day. They make a big deal about everything so why should Mother’s Day be an exception? In this case, it’s a little odd. Travis Barker, as you may remember, bought his girlfriend, Kourtney Kardashian, a monument of flowers for her birthday last month. Kourtney had everyone come by and see it, including sister Kim. They all dutifully posted it to social media so everyone could see how much Travis lurved Kourtney. Since it worked so well the first time, Travis did the same thing for Mother’s Day, only this time with colorful roses and peonies. He ordered two large displays rather than gardenias “falling” from the roof. But Kourtney is not Travis’ mother. Nor is she the mother of his kids.
Kourtney Kardashian is feeling the Mother’s Day love thanks to her boyfriend Travis Barker.
On Sunday, the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star, 42, celebrated with her three children — sons Reign Aston, 6, and Mason Dash, 11, and daughter Penelope Scotland, 8½ — whom she shares with ex Scott Disick.
And Barker wanted to make sure his girlfriend felt extra special on the holiday. Kardashian shared clips of the multiple bouquets of multi-colored roses and peonies she received from the drummer.
Posting the massive floral displays on her Instagram Story, the mom of three walked around an area of her house to show off all the flowers she was gifted.
Don’t get me wrong, there are no rules on who can get whom a Mother’s or Father’s Day gift. I’m commenting more on how ostentatious this is for a M-Day gift. Especially considering both his ex and the mother of his children, Shanna Moakler, and Kourtney’s ex and the father of her kids, Scott Disick, supposedly are having a hard time adjusting to this relationship. All I’m saying is I think the gift was more to show off than with any real sentiment behind it. Kourtney posted a shot of herself and Kris Jenner as her M-Day post on Instagram. On her IG stories, she posted some pics of herself and her kids as babies, followed by the glamour shots of Travis’ floral displays. Nothing about the kids’ gifts or cards. Maybe they were too special to share, but this it’s the Kardashians we’re talking about. They share everything. I have this image of poor Reign walking out with some pockmarked clay bowl he made in art class and a hand painted card when he sees this flower edifice in the front foyer. Of course it’d be worse if one of the kids spent the morning collecting wildflowers in a jelly jar.
I suggest you take my word about what is an is not on Kourt’s Instagram because if you wander over there, you’ll see a lot more than you bargained for. Kourt and Travis have been broadcasting their love for all to see. The latest entry is a desert trip they took that involved several breaks for them to pause and make out. I can’t post those shots because they were barely dressed in most of them. I am dying to know who the poor bastard is that had to follow them around and photograph these impromptu loved-up moments. If they’re happy, great. But all these flowers and kiss-cam moments seem more for our benefit than theirs.

Laughing about the wildflowers in a jelly jar comment because, apparently, Keith Richards walked around his Connecticut garden picking lilac and azalia branches and put them in a jar for Patti Hansen for Mother’s Day. She posted pictures of it on Instagram too and it’s much prettier and more meaningful than that floral sculpture that I’m pretty sure the Kardashian business branch ordered up for Kourtney. That family’s relationship with floral arrangements is bizarre.
Patti Hansen and Keith Richard have been together for decades, this is the real difference.
I grew up in the same CT town as the Richards girls. Can confirm Keith and Patti are sweet, normal, devoted, low key couple and the flowers from the yard in a jar surprises me not one bit. 🙂
I follow the whole family on Instagram and they all seem to adore one another, none of it forced or phony, and it extends to his other kids and their partners and to the extended family of Stones kids too. Those two found and did something right.
@LightPurple : I also think that unlike the Kardashian Keith Richards is a living legend who doesn’t need pr stunt.
I still don’t understand how these two even happened.
Celebrities. They be weird.
I’m still convinced Kourtney is with Scott.
His side pieces are kids of friends who are thirsty for publicity
Younnes ditto
Travis is a lifelong family friend
Massive cover up to safeguard the family as Scott faced ongoing substance problems
The Kardashian women buy themselves these flowers. Kim used to get loads of flowers from Kanye too. Probably all use the same florist.
They need the content/storylines to sell to their followers and clearly these enormous houses have a lot of empty space that also needs filling.
This makes me think of a reception area in a fancy hotel.
Most of the pic are for our benefit and not theirs. All smoke and mirrors and PR. And yes, those are some really raunchy pics and videos she posts for all to see.
@ Seraphina, I think that everything that the Kartrashian group, all of them, just continuously pump out PR to remain relevant. That article a few weeks ago about how Koutrney’s ex is jealous of her relationship is nothing but a planted story by Mommy Dearest.
Looks like casket flowers to me
For the upcoming spectacular demise of this relationship.
I just spit out my coffee. Lol.
Thank you!!!! I thought so too! The first one especially. Lol
Yes I thought of a funeral home when I saw the flower pic. Creepy!
Casket, exactly what i thought.
Exactly what I was thinking. How funereal!
I have no doubt that florists are really happy to work for anyone Kardashian involved. They spend a ridiculous amount on flowers, but god this composition is ugly!
These two are so over the top. When it all ends (and it will) the break-up is going to be spectacular!
Kourtney apparently ran out of clothing and is now wearing the curtains.
🤣🤣. That was legend!! OMG, I just spit put my coffee!!
Was just gonna ask- what the hell crepey hell get-up is she wearing?
Did she suck his thumb again ?
So performative. Am I crazy for loving that mint green outfit? Obviously not for a peasant like myself, but it looks cool on her and I know I should think it’s ridiculous (like their PDA and social media presence)
I was just thinking that that mint green outfit looked like grandma’s shower curtains Lol!!
This all look so wasteful to me. It’s one thing for a wedding, but for a birthday or Mother’s Day, wtf?!?!? I don’t understand their relationship but it’s her choice. But my eyes would probably burn if I looked at their pics on IG. Ugh..l
He looks like a walking talking Douche. I think this will end badly.
so extraaaa
Actually, I don’t mind them. They’re close in age and he seems (although a bit extra) mature enough -which is not much compared to Scott Disick and her past boy-toys.
He looks like he needs a good scrub. I’d get out the powerwasher.
Amen! He is just so icky looking – all the tattoos and he doesn’t look healthy, just scrawny and like a hard partier. What does she see in him? Also, the flowers are very pretty but I agree with you all that it seems a bit staged. The Kardashians should really just tone it down and try to be somewhat normal instead of like fake-instagram-blow-up dolls with staged relationships. People liked watching them back in the day when they were just normal, living in a small house, Kim lived in an apartment and they were working at Dash. Now, it is just all over the top, contrived, plastic train wreck. I definitely don’t watch anymore.
Notice there was no over the top display from Khloe and only a post on Tristan’s Insta story. Rumours have him still hitting up girls. Guess he’s done playing happy family- of course she’ll probably turn up pregnant with my now lol
I only know of these two through gossip sites. But I must say – that green pant suit is lovely on her.
This looks like love bombing to me.

Their flowers always look ugly and partially dead. Uh, no thanks. I’d rather get ONE flower. These two are just gross and I don’t ever say stuff like that. He seems a bit stalker-ish and she just loves all the new sex. Anything that starts this quickly ends quickly.
The kadashian dont even record their show in their own house. They used someone else.
These flowers must be paid by their show/handlers/agency.
