Former Kardashian Nanny Leah Barrs Rumor
Former Kardashian nanny Leah Barrs is pushing back against online speculation that she once had a sexual relationship with Travis Barker, Kourtney Kardashian’s husband. Barrs addressed the rumor during an appearance on Harry Jowsey’s “Boyfriend Material” podcast after previously discussing a past sexual encounter with a father whose child she was caring for. Her earlier comments led some people online to speculate that Barker was the man involved. Barrs directly denied that claim.
Barrs Says It Was Not Travis Barker
During the podcast interview, Barrs was asked whether Barker was the father she had previously mentioned. “No. This is when I first moved to Los Angeles. I was 22,” Barrs said, according to reports about the interview. She also responded, “Oh, my gosh, no,” when Barker’s name was brought up. Barrs explained that the encounter she previously discussed happened when she was 22 and had recently moved to Los Angeles. She said the man was a friend and was single at the time.
Why Barker Became Part of the Speculation
The speculation appears to have developed because Barrs later worked as a nanny for Kourtney Kardashian’s family. Barrs has said she worked for the Kardashian family from 2019 until 2022. During that time, she cared for Kourtney’s three oldest children, Mason, Penelope and Reign, whom Kourtney shares with Scott Disick. Kourtney and Barker began dating in 2020 and married in 2022. Because Barrs was working for Kourtney’s family during that period, some people connected her earlier comments about a father with Barker. Barrs says that connection is incorrect.
Barrs Has Confirmed The Past Encounter
While denying that Barker was involved, Barrs has previously acknowledged that she had an inappropriate relationship with someone connected to a nannying job. She discussed the experience publicly as part of the Hulu reality series “Million Dollar Nannies.” Barrs has said the man was someone she knew and that he was single at the time. Barrs has also acknowledged that becoming intimate with someone connected to her work crossed a professional boundary. She has said she was young at the time and has learned from the experience.
The Timeline Is Central To Her Denial
Barrs’ explanation centers on when the encounter happened. She said she was 22 and had only recently moved to Los Angeles. She has also made clear that this was before her employment with the Kardashian family. That timeline is why Barrs says the encounter could not have involved Barker.
There is currently no verified evidence establishing that Barrs and Barker had a sexual relationship. The claim appears to have originated from speculation surrounding Barrs’ earlier comments rather than from evidence identifying Barker as the man involved.
Barrs’ Connection To Kourtney Kardashian
Barrs became publicly known in part because of her work with the Kardashian family. She has spoken about her experience caring for Kourtney’s children and has described the job as an important part of her professional development.
Her connection to the family also meant that her comments about a past relationship received considerably more attention than they might have otherwise. Once viewers and social media users began trying to identify the unnamed father she had discussed, Barker became one of the names associated with the speculation. Barrs has now directly rejected that identification.
Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker
Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker began dating publicly in 2020 and married in 2022. They welcomed their son, Rocky Thirteen Barker, in 2023. Kourtney also shares Mason, Penelope and Reign with Scott Disick. Barker has children from previous relationships as well. The couple has continued to publicly document their relationship and family life, making Barker a frequent subject of celebrity news and online discussion.
What Barrs Is Actually Saying
The distinction in Barrs’ comments is important. She has not denied that she previously had a sexual encounter involving someone connected to a nannying job. What she has denied is that the person was Travis Barker.
Her account is that the encounter happened when she was 22, before she worked for the Kardashian family, and involved a man who was single at the time. Without independent evidence identifying the man, the identity of that person remains unconfirmed. What is verified is that Barrs has directly denied that the mystery man was Barker. The claim that Barrs slept with Barker should therefore be treated as an unsubstantiated rumor, not an established fact.
