Core Event: Nanny Refutes Rumor on Podcast

During the August 4 episode of Harry Jowsey’s *Boyfriend Material* podcast, former Kardashian nanny Leah Barrs was asked directly whether the “dad” she referenced on Hulu’s *Million Dollar Nannies* was Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker. Barrs responded that the man was not Barker, stating the encounter occurred when she first moved to Los Angeles at age 22, long before she began working for Kourtney Kardashian. She emphasized that the father was a single “friend” at the time and that she now regrets crossing that professional line.

Background & Context: From TikTok to Million Dollar Nannies

Barr Barrs, 31, first gained public attention by posting TikTok videos about her experience as a nanny for Kourtney Kardashian’s family. The clips helped launch Hulu’s reality series *Million Dollar Nannies*, where she disclosed on season 1 that she had once slept with a client’s father. The identity of that client was never named on the show, prompting speculation that the man might have been Barker, Kourtshire’s husband since 2022.

Official Statements & Responses

Barrs reiterated that the hookup predated her employment with the Kardashian household, which spanned 2019-2022. Barrs added that the man is now “happily married” and that she is “not that person today.”

Travis Barker, 50, has been married to Kourtney Kardashian since 2022. He shares two children with ex-wife Shanna Moakler—son Landon, 22, and daughter Alabama, 20—and is stepfather to Moakler’s daughter Atiana, 27, from her relationship with boxer Oscar De La Hoya.

Kardashian’s own children include Mason, 16; Penelope, 13; and Reign, 11 with ex-partner Scott Disick, as well as son Rocky, 2, with Barker.

Verbatim Quotes

  • “No. This is when I first moved to Los Angeles,” — Leah Barrs
  • “I was working for him that night, so I shouldn’t have crossed that line.” — Still

Why It Matters

The clarification addresses widespread speculation that linked a personal scandal to a high-profile celebrity marriage. By confirming the timeline and the identity of the unnamed father, Barrs separates her past mistake from the current Kardashian-Barker family narrative, reducing misinformation surrounding the reality-TV personalities involved.
