Kardashian Barker shares Rocky with husband Travis Barker, and she is also a mom to three kids with ex Scott DisickKourtney Kardashian Barker is learning from her mistakes.
The Lemme founder, 46, shared an Instagram post on Friday, Aug. 8, that included a photo of 21-month-old son Rocky Thirteen on a boat without a life vest.
A day later, and after she faced backlash for the safety hazard, Kardashian Barker shared a post on her Instagram Stories, speaking out about the controversy.
'Update: bought a life vest that fits!' the mom of four wrote over a screenshot of an infant life vest.
'Good looking out. Honestly didn't think about some of the dangers,' Kardashian Barker continued. 'Thank you for making me aware and hopefully this helps make other mommies aware of the dangers of certain types of boating without a life vest.'
Other images included in her Aug. 8 post indicated that Kardashian Barker was in Idaho, where it is required that children 14 years of age and younger must wear a life vest while on the water.
Fans expressed concern on social media about Kardashian Barker's move to not have her youngest child wear protective gear during the boat outing.
'Great photo except for the fact the child has no life jacket on,' one person wrote in the comments section of her post.
'You can make those kinds of decisions for yourself. But don't make a decision like that for your child. PLEASE," they added.
A user on Reddit said, "Rocky should be wearing a life jacket. Such dangerous neglect," as another wrote, "Kids on boats should always be wearing appropriate life vests, and it looks like it's sitting in the seat right next to them."
'C'mon Kourt. You both should be wearing life jackets ... everyone on that boat should be,' one other person commented on Instagram.

Jordon Hudson shares critical feedback toward podcasters after tense phone call revelation
Jordon Hudson, the girlfriend of North Carolina Tar Heels head coach Bill Belichick, appeared to fire back at criticism from sports podcasters who opened up about their interaction with her. Charlotte Wilder and Madeline Hill, the co-hosts of "The Sports Gossip Show," recently revealed they spoke to Hudson about coming onto their show and that she introduced herself as "the president of your universe." Amid the descriptions of how the call went down, Hudson shared critical feedback of the episode in which Wilder and Hill described the conversation with Hudson as tension filled. "This was such a disappointing take for me," the Instagram user sportslawheather wrote on their Instagram Stories. "'She shouldn't because the money/fame means more to someone else?? Because of her boyfriend??' Be real. "Do I have to seriously argue against (female! Sports journalists that (Hudson) has is justified in pursuing Miss Maine USA, Miss America for her own career and interests regardless of who she is dating." Wilder and Hill both initially thought Hudson wanted to speak about the Miss Maine USA pageant. Wilder revealed Hudson was, at one point, yelling at her and crying and the talk later turned contentious. She added that it "felt like we were always waiting for the other shoe to drop." The sports podcasters talked about their interaction with Hudson in one of their latest episodes. Hudson became a focal point of the college football offseason for a hot minute when she abruptly cut off a CBS interviewer's line of questioning toward Belichick about how they met. It started a firestorm of criticism toward Hudson and Belichick. But Belichick has made clear that Hudson has no role in the football program. "That's really off to the side. That's a personal relationship and she doesn't have anything to do with UNC football," Belichick told ESPN back in May. "I'm excited to be back in the coaches' meetings and getting ready for June and August when we get to training camp. June will be a big recruiting month for us and then August we start getting ready for the season."

This just in: Selena Gomez is *not* married—despite those pics she dropped from Lil Dicky's wedding that had everyone (including SZA) convinced she'd tied the knot with Benny Blanco. On August 10, Sel took to Instagram to share photos of herself and Benny attending David Burd and Kristin Batalucco's once I realized she wasn't announcing her own wedding, I had to know: Where did Selena get that red dress?? Well, I did some investigating and I have the answer. She's wearing Katara Knit Dress in Ghermez from Cult Gaia that comes in just under $500—and it's miraculously still in Knit Dress $498.00 at She paired her dress with $89 Bow Pointed-Toe Stiletto-Heel Pumps from Charles & Keith, which are also still in stock (but likely going to sell out very soon!!).Bow Pointed-Toe Stiletto-Heel Pumps $89.00 at And apparently, Sel wasn't the only one who donned a red-hot dress for the big day. Benny's sister-in-law, Evi Levin, shared a pic to her Stories of herself, Selena, and Benny's mom all twinning in red gowns. are Sel and Benny going to say 'I do' themselves? The Daily Mail previously revealed that the wedding 'will be a two-day event in Montecito in September' that's 'for friends and family only'...though that list will of course include Selena's longtime bestie Taylor Swift. However! During a recent appearance on Therapuss with Jake Shane, Selena made it seem as though her wedding with Benny isn't happening any time soon. According to her, she and Benny are in the midst of their 'own personal endeavors,' but once things slow down professionally, they will begin to get into 'all the nitty-gritty' of planning the ceremony. Guess we'll have to wait and see whether wedding bells are in the near future for these in the meantime, I'll be Sel's adding red dress to my cart before it sells out.
