Kourtney Kardashian is quite literally a hands-on mama.
In new photos shared by the 46-year-old mother of four, the Lemme co-founder spends some quality time with her youngest son, 19-month-old Rocky Thirteen.
“true love will always bring you back home to your own soul 🖤,” she captioned a Friday, June 13 Instagram carousel.
Kardashian welcomed her baby boy with husband Travis Barker in November 2023. She also shares Mason, Penelope and Reign with her ex, Scott Disick, while Barker, 49, is father to his son, Landon, daughter Alabama and his stepdaughter, Atiana, all of whom he shares with ex-wife Shanna Moakler.

Rocky sat on his mother’s lap in the cover image, looking away from the camera. Another photo showed some of the toddler’s steps as he and his mommy walked side-by-side down a hallway.
He wore a black jersey with the number “13” written in white on the back, paired with gray bottoms. Kardashian extended her hand toward him in case he needed assistance.
The roundup ended with a picture of several flower vases situated underneath a painting of a baby drumming.
The POOSH founder and the Blink-182 drummer were recently photographed at WWE’s Money in the Bank event on June 7 at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles.

Baby Barker was also present for the fun outing, sitting on mommy’s lap once again as cameras focused in on the family as the event announcers acknowledged them. According to Rocky’s outfit, the images Kardashian shared Friday appear to be from last week’s sporting event.
Kardashian has been vocal about holding on to her baby boy as much as possible while he’s still young.
While answering fan questions on her Instagram Stories in May 2024, she gave a fellow new mother parenting advice after she was asked, “Any tips on a baby who only likes to be held to take a nap?”

“Enjoy every second! We do the same,” Kardashian said in her response. “He’s never been in his crib. It’s my favorite thing in the world.”
She recently revisited the conversation again, almost one year to the exact date.
During a May 2025 appearance on her sister’s Khloé in Wonder Land podcast, the mom of four and Khloé Kardashian discussed parenthood.

“We’re just kind of go with the flow,” Kourtney said, pointing out how she differs from Khloé’s “very scheduled and planned out” life with daughter True, 7 and son, Tatum, 2, whom she shares with ex-boyfriend Tristan Thompson.
“And, also with the attachment style parenting, I hold him for his naps,” Kourtney continued. After confirming to her sister that she holds him “the whole time” and shared that she once held him for five hours, she explained, “I’ll sit in my little chair, usually in the room, and then I still have my little breastfeeding pillow, and he’ll kind of lay on there with my arms under, and then I have a little radiation blanket that I put over to protect from EMFs.”

Zayn Malik cancels sellout US tour dates amid health struggles

Zayn Malik has shocked fans by announcing the cancellation of his latest sellout tour.
In an announcement made on Friday, the singer shared that he had taken the decision to ax his entire US tour which had been due to begin on July 12.
“To my fans: Thank you so much for all the support and love you’ve shown me on the album release and more importantly your love, prayers, and well wishes for my health. I’ve felt it, and it’s meant the world. I’ve been at home recovering and I’m doing well and will be better and stronger than before,” Malik wrote in an Instagram Story to fans.
“I’ve had to take another look at my schedule for the months ahead and have to reduce the number of shows on the KONNAKOL Tour.
“I want to make sure I still get out and see as many of you as I possibly can. I’m really looking forward to playing these shows for you, and I hope to see the rest of you around the world very soon. Big Love, Z.”
The announcement comes after Malik was hospitalized last month due to an undisclosed, unexpected health issue, forcing him to cancel numerous TV appearances during his album release week.
Malik also hit headlines last month after being caught in a shock row with his former bandmate and close pal Louis Tomlinson.
Claims had emerged that Malik had punched Tomlinson during a violent clash while filming for their Netflix documentary.
The pair had joined forces to film a three-part road trip docuseries for the streaming service, which has since been axed following their fallout.
The incident took place while the pair were filming on location and occurred after Malik allegedly made negative comments about Tomlinson’s mum, Johannah Deakin, who died of leukemia in 2016.
“It spiraled into a row then Zayn made a remark about Louis’ mum Johannah,” sources told The Sun in April.
The insider added: “Louis was stunned and in shock. As he went to move, Zayn then attacked him. Zayn punched him straight in the face. Because he was wearing rings it cut Louis’ head.
“He was pulled away and Louis was taken for medical treatment. He was left with a concussion.
“This happened outside in front of so many people. It was shocking.”
According to the outlet, neither band member has spoken to the other since the incident six months ago.

Tara Lipinski’s surrogate suffers ‘devastating loss’

Tara Lipinski revealed that her surrogate experienced a pregnancy loss while carrying her and husband Todd Kapostasy’s second child.
“A few months ago, we lost our baby in the second trimester,” the Olympian began in a Friday Instagram post.
“We’ve been on our second surrogacy journey for two years now,” Lipinski continued.
The former gymnast added that the first surrogate who carried the couple’s daughter, Georgie, 2, “wasn’t medically cleared to proceed.”
“I grieved that ending and we started over. From the long road in finding a surrogate, to medical clearance setbacks, to a failed transfer, and now this loss… it hasn’t been an easy road,” Lipinski said.
The “Traitors” alum, who has been open about her fertility struggles over the years, admitted, “A second trimester loss was devastating. Something new to add to the long list of heartbreaks we’ve endured on this fertility journey.
“Another memory that will be hard to erase. That appointment will be etched in my mind forever as well as all the steps that came after when a pregnancy is that far along.”
Lipinski credited those who have reached out with own stories as her reason to share what she’s going through — “especially when it’s hard🤍.”
The athlete explained that while it’s tough to keep pushing forward after moments like this, she “did it once, and “can do it again.”
Fans quickly flocked to the comments section to lend their support to the reality star.
“I’m so so sorry. Praying for you.💔🙏🏻,” one follower wrote, while a second penned, “You are beyond inspiring for your grace and strength throughout everything you do❤️. “
Rounding out the sweet messages, another social media user said, “I am so incredibly sorry Tara 🤍 sending so much love (I’d say strength but you’re one of the strongest warriors I know).”
In 2023, Lipinsky and Kapostasy welcomed Georgie via surrogate following five years of fertility struggles and multiple miscarriages.
“I dreamt about this for so long. A crying baby, sleepless nights,” the gold medalist told People at the time.
When the gestational carrier gave birth, Lipinski “was playing Dave Matthews’s song ‘You and Me’ and … could not stop sobbing” in the delivery room.
“Then the baby came out, and it was so much relief,” the retired figure skater recounted. “I felt like I could breathe again.”
Before her daughter’s arrival, Lipinsky suffered four pregnancy losses, six failed IVF transfers and eight egg retrievals.
She was eventually diagnosed with endometriosis and underwent two major surgeries.
After her fourth miscarriage, the 1998 Olympic champion and movie director decided that it was time to “think of other options.”
While on her and Kapostasy’s “Unexpecting” podcast in October 2023, the pair discussed how they developed a “magical” relationship with their first surrogate, Mikayla.
As Lipinski shared, “There was an immediate connection and bond between us, one I just didn’t expect to feel so strongly. Two peas in a pod type of feeling … teammates on the deepest level.”
Last year, the podcaster opened up about expanding her family, telling People she and her husband “are definitely wanting to bring a sibling to Georgie.”

Author Cheryl Strayed reveals husband Brian Lindstrom has ‘serious, fatal illness’

Author Cheryl Strayed has revealed that her husband, filmmaker Brian Lindstrom, has been diagnosed with a “serious, fatal illness.”
The 57-year-old writer, whose memoir “Wild” was adapted into a 2014 film starring Reese Witherspoon as Strayed, apologized to fans as she was forced to cancel her upcoming appearances amid her husband of 25 years’ health battle.
“My beloved husband Brian has been diagnosed with a serious, fatal illness,” she wrote on Instagram on Thursday.
“For that reason I had to cancel my writing workshop at Kripalu and also my appearance at Hunter College this week,” Strayed added.
“My apologies to those of you who made plans to be there. I simply cannot do anything but be with my family right now and see to our broken hearts.
“I ask that you hold us in your thoughts, prayers, light and love.”
Strayed said it may feel “emotionally dissonant” to see her posting “cheerful clips” from her podcast, “Mind Over Mountain,” amid the news.
“Those interviews, which I loved doing, were recorded previously, in easier, happier times,” she clarified.
Strayed is the author of “Torch,” “Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail,” “Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar” and “Brave Enough.”
“Tiny Beautiful Things,” based on her advice column, was adapted into a 2023 Hulu series starring Kathryn Hahn, while “Wild” earned Witherspoon an Academy Award nomination for her portrayal of Strayed during her Pacific Crest Trail hike.
Documentarian Lindstrom is known for directing 2013’s “Alien Boy: The Life and Death of James Chasse” and 2022’s “Lost Angel: The Genius of Judee Sill.”
He and Strayed also co-directed the 2019 film “We Are Forbidden.”
The couple met in 1995 and shares two adult children, Bobbi Strayed Lindstrom and Carver Strayed Lindstrom.
“Met this beautiful man 27 years ago today — literally half my lifetime ago,” Strayed wrote in a 2022 Facebook post.
“The next day I wrote in my journal: ‘I met a man named Brian Lindstrom last night. I don’t know who he is, but I think he’ll be someone to me.’ Little did I know how right I’d be. And how lucky.”
Strayed has frequently spoken about her husband’s support throughout her career.
“There’s no doing it without him,” she told The Great Discontent in 2012.
“When I was writing ‘Torch,’ he believed in me more than I believed in myself. He’s always, always, always been there for me, every time I needed him. He encourages me. He believes in me.”
“He’s an amazing person and an amazing filmmaker,” she added.
“Many people ask us if we’re jealous of each other or competitive because we’re both artists. We’re always mystified by that because we support each other in every way.”
