Kourtney Kardashian, Travis Barker ‘Stronger Than Ever’ Post Health Scare

Honeymoon phase bliss! Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker’s recent obstacles have only brought them closer together, a source exclusively shares with Us Weekly.

“Kourtney and Travis are stronger than ever, especially after his health scare,” an insider tells Us on Monday, July 25. “They’re truly enjoying this new newlywed phase.”

The source also reveals that following his recent battle with pancreatitis, the Blink-182 drummer, 46, “is focused on his health and couldn’t have anyone better by his side.” The Poosh founder, 43, is “the best support and is always looking out for him.”

Kardashian “cares about him deeply,” the source adds, noting that the duo is “inseparable and have barely spent time apart since the wedding.”

Earlier this month, the rocker revealed that he had “developed excruciating pain” after going in for a routine endoscopy with the Kardashians star in late June.

“During the endoscopy, I had a very small polyp removed right in a very sensitive area, usually handled by specialists, which unfortunately damaged a critical pancreatic drainage tube,” Barker wrote via Instagram. “This resulted in severe, life-threatening pancreatitis. I am so very, very grateful that with intensive treatment I am currently much better.”

Kardashian, for her part, also penned a statement of her own at the time, reflecting on the “scary and emotional week” the two had just experienced.

“Our health is everything and sometimes we take for granted how quickly it can change,” the Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum wrote. “I am so grateful to God for healing my husband, for all of your prayers for him and for us, for the overwhelming outpouring of love and support.”

At the time of Barker’s hospitalization, an insider told Us that the DASH owner was “by his side” for the entirety of his 72-hour stay.

Prior to the hallowing medical issue, Barker and Kardashian had been enjoying a summer of love and relaxation. The couple tied the knot in not one, but three ceremonies, capping off the romantic celebrations with a lavish bash in Italy in June.

The twosome, who got engaged in October 2021, after less than a year of dating but after decades of friendship, have also watched their romance play out on The Kardashians. The reality series has closely documented their romance, including their difficult journey with attempting to have a baby.

“The fertility journey, Travis and I, we stay in the moment and just do the steps that we need to do,” Kardashian revealed on the May 19 episode of the reality show during one of couple’s many trips to the fertility doctor. “It is nice to hear good news and have some positivity. We love that, but we just wait to hear the final words.”

Wynonna Judd Honors Mom Naomi at 2023 People’s Choice Country Awards

Wynonna Judd gave a heartfelt tribute to her late mother, Naomi Judd, during her acceptance speech for the Country Champion Award at the 2023 People’s Choice Country Awards.

“So I graduated high school in 1982 and [in] 1983 got a record deal with RCA records and I got on a silver eagle bus with my mama and did her hair every night for 10 years for free,” Wynonna said on Thursday, September 28. “I started there, 10 years later she would have to retire and I would go on to make country music ‘herstory.’”

Wynonna then recalled the challenging moment she lost her mom in April 2022 to suicide.

“I went to her house, and she died there, but we followed the ambulance anyway to the hospital where she was pronounced dead. And I walked into the room and I held her in my arms and I kissed her on the forehead, shut her eyes and said, ‘I love you mom,’” she recalled. “And I walked out of that room, went home, got up the next morning and showed up at the Country Music Hall of Fame to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. You know why? Because that’s how much we love music regardless of what has happened to me and who I show up and I show out.”

The best and brightest in country music stepped out in style to commemorate the first-ever People’s Choice Country Awards.  The inaugural ceremony took place on Thursday, September 28, at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. The show also aired live on NBC and Peacock.  In addition to the fierce looks, fan-favorite singers and crooners, including […]

The singer recalled how she and fellow country star Tim McGraw have both opened for one another on their respective tours over the years.

“Back in 1990, Tim McGraw opened for me, four weeks ago I opened for Tim,” she reflected. “The highs are high and the lows are low, baby, but don’t ever let them tell you who you are.”

Before becoming a successful solo artist, Wynonna got her start in country music thanks to her mother as they formed the duo The Judds together in 1983. The mother-daughter pair recorded six studio albums from 1984 to 1990 and continued to perform together until Naomi’s death.

“Today we sisters experienced a tragedy. We lost our beautiful mother to the disease of mental illness,” Wynonna and sister Ashley Judd wrote in a joint statement at the time. “We are shattered. We are navigating profound grief and know that as we loved her, she was loved by her public. We are in unknown territory.”

Four months after Naomi’s passing, the autopsy report revealed that the late singer died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. In September 2022, Wynonna opened up about how she was coping with the loss of her mother and how it brought her closer to her sister, with whom she has had ups and downs.

“We both kind of look at each other like, ‘I’ve got you,’ right? And we look at each other and we say, ‘Yeah.’ We’re so united right now, I think more so than we have been in a long time,” Wynonna explained of her bond with Ashley, 55, following the loss of their mom in a segment with CBS Sunday Mornings.

Wynonna was the first recipient bestowed the honor at the newest country music awards show. The accolade was given to Wynonna for her musical achievements in addition to her charitable work with the Wounded Warrior Project and Habitat for Humanity while also advocating for mental health awareness.

“Wynonna is one of the most recognized and lauded performers in country music,” Senior Vice President of NBCUniversal Entertainment Cassandra Tryon said in a press release earlier this month, noting that the singer is also hosting the NBC country music holiday special, Christmas at the Opry, in December. “Not only is she incredibly talented, her selflessness and passion for putting the needs of others in the spotlight is unmatched. We can’t think of a better person to honor as our inaugural ‘Country Champion’ and to celebrate the holidays with across these two major country music events.”
