A source close to the star lifted the lid on what tour life has really been like

SHE is currently playing the part of a rock n roll wife following her husband Travis Barker to Australia.

But behind closed doors Kourtney Kardashian has been secretly struggling after dragging her four kids Down Under to support him on the Blink-182 tour.

The 44-year-old, who gave birth to son Rocky just three months ago, jetted into Sydney earlier this month and has been juggling family life with tour life.

She is thought to be using Sydney as her base while drummer travels all over the place – but it’s taking it’s toll on her.

A source said: “Kourtney’s really struggling – jet lag and a newborn plus the whole family is no joke. Plus Travis is working a lot so he’s not on hand to help.

“Obviously she has staff around her but she likes to be hands on and being away from home is a real challenge.

“The most important thing for her was keeping the family unit together and she didn’t want to be away from him for a month but this is way harder than she thought – the pregnancy was hard on  her and she hasn’t got as much energy as she thought she’d have.”

Kourtney has shared a few pictures from the trip so far – including kids Penelope Disick, 11, and son Reign, nine, enjoying the sites.

Mason, 14, who she also shares with Scott Disick, is notoriously camera shy these days but is thought to be with them.

Blink-182 kicked off their Australia tour in Perth last week.

The pop-punk band – consisting of Travis, Tom DeLonge, and Mark Hoppus – will play around the country pretty much every day up until the 29^th when they end in Melbourne.

Kourtney faced several pregnancy struggles before happily giving birth.

Last year, Travis and his band canceled tour dates in Glasgow, Belfast, and Dublin due to an “urgent family matter.”

She later revealed she suffered a major scare and underwent fetal surgery on her unborn baby.

Valentine’s Surprise

The couple had spent some time trying to conceive before falling pregnant naturally.

Travis revealed today that their baby was convinced on Valentine’s Day last year.

Kourtney shared a series of pictures from a romantic break in Utah.
