Kris Jenner celebrated her grandson Rocky’s first birthday by gifting him a priceless handwritten letter from Sylvester Stallone.
On Friday, Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker’s little boy received the heartfelt note from the 68-year-old actor who infamously played heavyweight boxing champion Rocky Balboa from the popular Rocky film series.
Stallone wrote in his personal stationery: “Dear Rocky, my name is also Rocky. Your name is very special and identified with wonderful things.
“Life has many challenges that you face; you will have to show dedication and determination! You should never give up on your dreams. Never!’ he added.
“Most importantly, you should always value family, friendship and loyalty over fame and fortune!” he finished.

Barker, the little one’s father, took to his Instagram Story to share a photo of the letter and thank his mother-in-law for the gift.
‘One of the most special birthday gifts. Thank you @krisjenner @officialslystallone,” the Blink-182 drummer wrote above the photo with a boxing glove emoji.
The self-proclaimed momager reshared the photo on her Instagram Story, adding, “Sly, you are a DREAM, thank you for this amazing birthday wish for our Rocky, we love you.”
And on Rocky’s birthday Saturday, Jenner took her along Instagram page to share photos of her youngest of 13 grandchildren enjoying a beach day.
She wrote in the caption, “Congratulations to our precious Rocky!! I can’t believe you’re already a year old! It feels like just yesterday that we welcomed you into the world.”
The multi-word continued: “You are grandchild number 13 and the most precious little smiley boy I have ever met!! I can’t wait to see you grow up and I’m so grateful to God for choosing me to be your grandmother.
‘I love you so much and I can’t wait to see you grow. @kourtneykardash @travisbarker.’
US Weekly reported that the businesswoman hosted Rocky’s first birthday party, keeping with family tradition.

Barker’s daughter Alabama, 18, whom he shares with ex-wife Shoanna Moakler, was attending her brother’s birthday party when she posted a photo of a large carousel with the caption: “At our house it’s insane!”
Along with Rocky, Kardashian and Barker’s blended family includes Mason, 14, Penelope, 12, and Reign, 9, who Kourtney shares with ex-partner Scott Disick, as well as Alabama, Landon, 21, and Atiana De La Hoya, 25, who is Travis’s stepdaughter.
Kourtney and Travis were known to be good friends before they started dating, which they confirmed by posting a photo of their intertwined hands on Instagram in February 2021.
They would eventually tie the knot in the surprise chapel ceremony in Las Vegas in July 2022, although it was not legal.
They were officially married in early May of that same year in an intimate courthouse ceremony in Santa Barbara, and later that month they celebrated their nuptials one last time with a lavish wedding in Portofino, Italy.
