News. “It was at a point where he could barely walk.” But after spending the night in the hospital, Barker is said to be “well and doing better today.” The source told E! that Kardashian was trying to keep her husband positive: “Courtney is trying to cheer him up and hates to see him suffer horrible pain.”

More on Kourtney Kardashian

According to the American entertainment news website TMZ, family-related sources reported that Barker, 46, was suffering from pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) – which doctors believe came from a previous colonoscopy. Neither he nor the 43-year-old reality star Kardashian have publicly commented on his illness. The star’s fans were scared of the worst after he wrote on Twitter on Tuesday: “God save me”. However, some have suggested that this may have been a reference to Machine Gun Kelly’s lyrics rather than to his illness. Photographs provided by TMZ showed Barker raising a fist as he was being transported to hospital early Tuesday. Wearing a black suit, Kardashian – who has changed her name to Kardashian Barker on Instagram – appeared next to him. The couple got married in a luxury ceremony in Italy in May after a “practice” wedding in Las Vegas in April. Barker has two children with his ex-wife Sana Mockler, a former Miss USA-Alabama and 18-year-old Landon. Kardashian has three younger children with her ex-partner Scott Disick – Mason, Penelope and Reign. Named “Kravis”, the couple got engaged in October after Barker proposed on a beach with a display of red roses in California.
