Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian’s boy Rocky received a special honor from the man who played Rocky in the iconic film series, Sylvester Stallone.
For Rocky’s first birthday, he was given a unique gift by Stallone – a handwritten letter made especially for him.
Taking to his Instagram Stories on November 4, Barker shared the note as well as what Stallone had to say in his message.
“Dear Rocky, my name is also Rocky. Your name is very special and associated with great things,” the note began.
Stallone shares that “life has many challenges that you will have to face” but encourages her to “show dedication and determination!”
“You must never give up on your dreams, never! Now most importantly, you must always value family, friendship and loyalty over fame and fortune!” he added.
“Keep punching, Sly’ Rocky Stallone,” the message ended.
In the caption for the post, Barker shared that his mother-in-law, Kris Jenner, was the person behind the special gift.
“Thank you @krisjenner @officialslystallone,” he captioned the post.

The message is clearly a special gift for the couple. Barker said Combination last year that Stallone’s character was one of the main inspirations behind his son’s name.
He described in 1976 Stone as “the greatest boxing movie of all time” before revealing that the name came from a tribute to Suicidal Trends guitarist Rocky George. The middle name Thirteen does not necessarily have a special meaning. Barker joked: “13 is the greatest number of all time.”
Rocky comes from a blended family that includes: Mason Disick, 14, Penelope Disick, 12, and Reign Disick, 9 – who Kardashian shares with ex Scott Disick – as well as Barker’s children, Landon Barker, 21, Alabama Barker, 18, and stepdaughter Atiana De La Hoya, 25, whom he shares with ex-wife Shanna Moakler.
