Travis Barker is married to reality television star and entrepreneur Kourtney Kardashian. The Blink-182 drummer and the Poosh founder officially tied the knot in 2022 through a multi-step wedding celebration that captured global media attention. Their relationship evolved from a long-standing platonic friendship and neighborhood dynamic into one of pop culture's most visible modern romances.
Before marrying Barker, Kourtney was famously in a long-term relationship with Scott Disick, sharing three children before splitting in 2015. Travis was previously married to Melissa Kennedy and later to former Miss USA Shanna Moakler, with whom he shares two children. When Travis and Kourtney made it official, they successfully blended their large families and later welcomed a child of their own.
From Neighbors to Romance: The Friendship Timeline
Long before they walked down the aisle, Travis and Kourtney lived in the same gated community in Calabasas, California. They spent over a decade as casual acquaintances, churchgoers, and neighborhood friends. Their children played together, and they frequently crossed paths at family gatherings and casual dinners.
The dynamic shifted toward romance around late 2020 and early 2021. What started as flirty social media exchanges quickly turned into an official relationship. Fans who followed Keeping Up with the Kardashians watched as their friendship transitioned into a heavily publicized romance characterized by constant public displays of affection.
The Three Weddings: Las Vegas, Santa Barbara, and Portofino
Unlike most celebrity couples who opt for a single massive ceremony, Travis and Kourtney celebrated their union across three distinct wedding events in the spring of 2022.
- The Las Vegas Chapel Ceremony (April 2022): Following an appearance at the Grammy Awards, the couple made an impromptu stop at the One Love Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas at 2:00 AM. An Elvis Presley impersonator officiated the ceremony. Because they didn't secure a marriage license in time, this wedding was non-binding and served as a fun, spontaneous celebration.
- The Santa Barbara Legal Wedding (May 2022): A month later, the couple made things official under California law. They held a low-key civil ceremony at a courthouse in Santa Barbara, accompanied only by a few close family members, including Kourtney's maternal grandmother and Travis's father.
- The Portofino Grand Celebration (May 2022): The main event took place in Italy, specifically at a seaside estate in Portofino owned by Dolce & Gabbana. The Italian designer house sponsored the wardrobe for the entire family. Surrounded by close friends and all of their children, the couple exchanged traditional vows in an ornate, gothic-inspired ceremony.
Blending Families and Welcoming New Additions
Marrying brought together two complex family structures. Kourtney brought three children from her relationship with Scott Disick: Mason, Penelope, and Reign. Travis brought his children with Shanna Moakler—son Landon and daughter Alabama—alongside maintaining a close bond with his stepdaughter Atiana De La Hoya.
The couple documented a lengthy and emotional fertility journey, including struggles with IVF treatments, before stopping medical interventions to try conceiving naturally. In November 2023, Kourtney gave birth to their first child together, a son named Rocky Thirteen Barker.
