Travis Barker, the drummer for Blink-182 and husband to Kourtney Kardashian, has found himself at the centre of a social media storm after his daughter's Christmas gift reveal was branded 'really weird' by fans.
A Luxury Lingerie Haul
The controversy unfolded on December 30, 2025, after Barker's 20-year-old daughter, Alabama, shared a nearly 10-minute video showcasing her extravagant Christmas and birthday presents. Among the many gifts was a lavish selection from the luxury lingerie brand Agent Provocateur, reportedly paid for by her father.
In the clip, Alabama explained, 'So my dad went a little crazy at Agent Provocateur,' before revealing an array of bras, corsets, robes, and a cheetah-print slip dress. One standout item was a red tulle robe, retailing for a staggering £795. The brand is famously favoured by celebrities like Beyoncé.
Fan Reaction: 'Cringe' or Supportive?
The revelation immediately split opinion online. Many followers expressed discomfort at the idea of a father buying his daughter such intimate apparel. One user, Daniellefjx, commented that Alabama's statement was a 'WILD thing to say'.
The debate spilled over onto Reddit, where a post asking 'Is this normal to y’all?' garnered significant attention. Most respondents declared it was not. User kartrashian_observer wrote, 'My mom would buy me nightshirts or robes or lingerie as a gift, but… not sexy ones that I would use with my boyfriend.' Others labelled the act 'too much' and 'pretty odd', even for a father and daughter known to have a close relationship.
However, some defended the Blink-182 star, suggesting his wife Kourtney likely did the shopping and Travis simply handled the payment. Supporters framed it as a 'girl dad showing up for his daughter' and praised their comfortable bond.
A Blended Family Dynamic
Alabama, whose birthday falls on Christmas Eve, often stays with her father and stepmother Kourtney Kardashian despite having her own home. The gift's total value was estimated by fans to potentially exceed $200,000 (approximately £148,000), a sum that is a mere drop in the ocean for Travis Barker, who has an estimated net worth of $50 million.
While the drummer is unlikely to have personally selected the items, the concept alone was enough to cause a kerfuffle, highlighting the family's famously blurred boundaries. As one Reddit user summarised, 'the family has no boundaries, so not that shocking to me.'
Metro has approached Travis Barker's representatives for comment.
