Kourtney Kardashian is catching heat from fans after sharing an adorable yet controversial photo of her 21-month-old son, Rocky Thirteen, on a boat—without a life jacket.
The Photo That Sparked Outrage
In the sweet snapshot, Kourtney lounges at the back of a moving boat with baby Rocky cuddled safely in her lap. But the glaring detail fans can’t ignore? Rocky isn’t wearing a flotation device.
As the image circulated on Instagram, comments flooded in with concerned followers pleading for Kourtney to prioritize safety and put a life jacket on her little one. The criticism was swift and loud, leaving many baffled that such a risky moment was shared publicly.
More Than Just a Boating Moment
This photo was part of a family vacation photo dump Kourtney posted to celebrate some downtime away from the usual media buzz. The snaps showed boating, tubing fun, delicious meals, and even Kourtney flaunting her curves in a nude bodysuit selfie.
The boating pic also included a touching moment: Kourtney breastfeeding Rocky, a milestone she celebrated after doctors had previously warned he might not be able to breastfeed. This added emotional weight to the post but did little to ease safety concerns.
Kourtney’s Growing Family
Kourtney welcomed baby Rocky in November 2023 with husband Travis Barker after a difficult fertility journey. Besides Rocky, she’s mom to Mason (15), Penelope (13), and Reign (10) with Scott Disick.
She’s also stepmom to Travis’ three children—Landon (21), Alabama (19), and Atiana (26), shared with his ex Shanna Moakler.
No Response Yet from Kourtney’s Team
TMZ reached out to Kourtney’s reps for comment on the life vest controversy but hasn’t heard back. For now, it seems Kourtney’s fully in vacation mode despite the backlash.
Why Fans Are Concerned
- Boating safety experts recommend life jackets for all children on moving boats.
- Rocky is under two years old — a particularly vulnerable age for water safety.
- Public figures have a responsibility to model safe behavior.
