Health and wellness has always been a priority forTravis Barker.
TheBlink-182rocker, 46, recently opened up to PEOPLE about expanding his Barker Wellness brand and his health journey alongside wifeKourtney Kardashian.
“Our friendship and our relationship was started 10 years ago and I think we were both really into wellness,” Barker says while celebrating his Barker Wellness skincare launch at Nobu Malibu. “We were both really into eating healthy, working out, and being great parents.”
Barker is dad to sonLandon, 18, daughterAlabama, 16, and stepdaughterAtiana, 23. His blended family with Kardashian also includes her children — daughterPenelope, 10, and sonsMason, 12, andReign, 7.

He says that functional fitness is a big part of his routine when it comes to staying in shape. “I have a show coming up, so I’ll do a lot of functional training. I’ll run. I’ll do a lot of battle ropes,” he explains. “I want to be in shape, but it’s also like, how can I play drums better? How can I not get tired? How can I be strong for my kids? How can I be better at Muay Thai? I think of all those things. And I just try to have my workout routine support all those things.”
A long-term goal? “I would love to do a marathon one day,” he tells PEOPLE.
But fitness is just one component of his holistic approach to wellness.
“Wellness means to me… I think there’s millions of people around the world that think you don’t have to pay for what you eat or how you neglect your body and how you neglect your health,” he explains. “And I feel like at some point you got to pay up, and wellness has always been that for me.
“But I think you can get all the surgeries you want to look a certain way. You’ve got to pay your debt at some point,” he continues. “I’ve always told my kids, just be healthy, drink water, don’t use products that are toxic. I don’t know. Just try to steer them in the right direction as much as I can.”
Barker’s relationship with wellness is one of the reasons he partnered withREVOLVEas a retailer and launched his skincare line withBarker Wellness. The musician says he’s incorporated his vegan products into his everyday life, boasting his pain relief CBD cream, face serum and moisturizer, and CBD sleep tincture, which he calls a “game changer.”
The musician has been prioritizing his health even more recently after he washospitalized for “life-threatening” pancreatitisthis summer.
On June 28, Barker found himself in a life-and-death situation when he was hospitalized due to pancreatitis, an inflammation of the organ that aids in digestion and regulates blood sugar.
He has since updated his Instagram followers that he is doing “much better,” and was photographed last month walking outside his recording studio in Calabasas, California.
Barker’s wifeKourtney Kardashianhas remained a steadfast supporter, a source previously telling people thatshe “wouldn’t leave his side"during his scare.
“Oh what a scary and emotional week it has been,” she wrote on Instagram in July. “Our health is everything and sometimes we take for granted how quickly it can change.”
