Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker's infant son, Rocky Thirteen Barker, made a surprise cameo in the latest episode of The Kardashians.
Rocky was born to the couple in November 2023, and in the months that followed his birth, mum Kourtney, 45, and dad Travis, 49, have only shared a handful of photos of their son.
In each of these images, however, Rocky's face is always obscured, cropped or facing away from the camera, in comparison to Kourtney and Travis' other children from prior relationships, who've very much grown up in the public eye.

However, it would appear there's been a slight change of heart as they've allowed their little boy to be shown in the most recent instalment of the family's much-loved series - though there's still a catch.
In the episode, Rocky was seen joining two of his older half-siblings, Penelope and Reign, for a family outing, and while he appears in the footage, his face has been blurred.
The siblings were also accompanied by their cousins, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's sons Saint and Psalm, nine and five, and daughter Chicago, seven.

Rob Kardashian's eight-year-old daughter Dream - whom he shares with ex Blac Chyna - also joined the group, alongside Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson's two children, six-year-old daughter True, six, and son Tatum, two.
The group travelled to a pumpkin patch, where Blink-182 drummer Travis introduced Rocky to a number of animals.
"Rocky, look at the baby goats," the musician tells the youngster. "You like goats?" he continues, before Kourtney chimes in: "Those are cute!"
The mother-of-four continued, showing her youngest the fields surrounding them, saying: "Look, Rock. All corn!"

Kourtney has previously elaborated on why she and Travis have decided to keep their son out of the public eye.
In an episode of The Kardashians from a couple months back, she voiced her concerns about an upcoming trip to Australia, admitting she was starting to get 'a little bit of anxiety' about the holiday.
"Rocky hasn't been seen and in California there's a law that if I don't show the baby's face, the paparazzi have to blur his image," she explained. "But in Australia there are supposedly no paparazzi laws, so they can take a photo and sell their image."

Travis has also voiced similar concerns in the past after a photo of their son was leaked.
In a September interview, he said they'd 'rather keep him out of the spotlight', adding: "Unfortunately, someone finally got a photo of him, but we’d rather keep him out of the spotlight. If I could do everything different, I would have done the same thing with my [older] kids.
"I think it’s weird to grow up and you’re 15 or 12, and you’re like, 'Mom, you posted this of me?'"
