Who Is Travis Barker, Kourtney Kardashian’s New Beau?
This Kardashian sister seems to have found love in 2021…
There may soon be a new addition to the Kar-Jenner clan – and no, it won’t be another little one… Keeping Up With The Kardashians star and Poosh founder Kourtney Kardashian recently shared an adorable (and rather cryptic) picture of her holding a man’s hand on her Instagram, which started all kinds of speculations as to who he could be…
American musician Travis Barker appears to be the oldest Kardashian sister’s new flame – and he quickly commented a black heart emoji on the post, before re-sharing the sweet photo on his own Instagram story.
While Millennials may be more familiar with the punk-rock star, best known for being one of the greatest drummers in music history and one-third of the band Blink-182, Gen-Zers have been seeking out tidbits of information on Kourtney’s new beau.
Here, Bazaar shares everything you need to know about Travis Barker – including why we shouldn’t be surprised to see him coupling up with the oldest Kardashian sister…
Who is Travis Barker?
Best known as the drummer of Blink-182, Travis is an American musician and producer based in California. According to his website, he has sold millions of records both as a bandmember and as a solo artist. In addition to best being known as the drummer of Blink-182, he’s also part of a number of other bands and musical acts including Transplants, +44 and Box Car Racer, to name a few.
He’s been married twice before.
Travis was married to Melissa Kennedy in 2001 and former Miss USA Shanna Moakler in 2004 until 2008. According to People magazine, he has two teenage children of his own, daughter Alabama, 15, and son Landon, 17. He also has a stepdaughter named Atiana, from his marriage to Shanna.
He’s had his own reality show.
While he’s kept a low profile throughout the past few years, he certainly isn’t camera shy…
Travis had his own reality TV show which aired on MTC in 2005; Meet the Barkers in 2005 followed him and his family’s free-spirited and lavish life in California.
He’s known Kourtney and the family for 15 years.
According to Buzzfeed News, Kourtney and Travis met back in 2006, when Travis was dating Paris Hilton (and Kim Kardashian was her assistant.) They’ve been friends ever since and Travis was actually one of the first to suggest that the Kardashians start a reality TV show, which later became Keeping Up With The Kardashians. He was also neighbours with Khloé Kardashian, and has appeared on the series a few times.
We’re excited to see more from this power duo, and will be watching them closely…
