As for Kourtney, she’s previously made it clear she doesn’t mind her husband’s fascination.
"I mean, I have really cute feet,” she said on the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast in 2022. “I mean, if somebody wants to pay extra attention to my feet, I’m not mad at that. Well, my husband, not just anybody.”
Kourtney Kardashian has previously said she doesn’t mind her husband’s attention to her feet.
The couple’s romance has been a whirlwind from the start. After years of being friends and neighbors, they began dating in late 2020 and went public with their relationship in February 2021. They tied the knot in May 2022 and later welcomed their son Rocky in 2023.
The pair shares son Rocky, whom they welcomed in 2023.
Since then, Travis hasn’t held back when it comes to sharing his love for family life.
In a February 2025 interview, he opened up about how much he enjoys having a baby in the house again.
"I loved it when I did it the first time and I love it now,” he said. “It’s the best, he’s the coolest little boy. He sleeps all night for 10 hours and he’s up all day playing drums and guitar. I couldn’t be happier.”
When asked about Rocky’s calm personality, Travis credited both himself and Kourtney, saying their “mellow” energy plays a big role.
