Who is Kourtney Kardashian dating? All you need to know about Travis Barker
Kourtney Kardashian and her new beau, Travis Barker, have been heating up Instagram with photos of their romantic luxury getaway to Utah.
We’re mildly (OK, a lot) obsessed with this hot new celebrity couple, we won’t lie.
From sexy scrabble shots to smooching, the pair look well and truly loved-up – but what’s the low-down on their romance so far?
Who is Kourtney Kardashian dating?
The 42-year-old reality TV queen is dating drummer Travis Barker, 45, with the couple currently enjoying a stay in Southern Utah’s Amangari resort, where rooms start at $3,500 per night.
The pair seem smitten with one another, as they’ve been spotted on dates over the past few weeks at Nobu for dinner, out and about in West Hollywood and hanging out, quartet-style, with Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox.
Kourtney was previously in a nine-year relationship with Scott Disick, 37, with whom she shares three children.
Scott recently publicly confessed to struggling with watching his ex-partner with other men. On a new episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, filmed while both were single, he accused Kourtney of flirting with a lifeguard, which she denied.
He then said: ‘Then it’s my insecurity that I don’t like seeing you with another guy, or a guy.
‘It hurt me when you were with somebody else, and waking up to looking at pictures of you with this guy you were dating. It was just unhealthy, it made me upset and sad.’
Scott is now seeing 19-year-old influencer Amelia Hamlin.
Who is Travis Barker?
Travis is best known as the drummer for rock band Blink-182, which he joined in 1998 after touring with them while playing with his first band, the Aquabats.
Blink-182 enjoyed mainstream success with their third album, Enema of the State, later that year. Lead singles included What’s My Age Again? and All the Small Things, which reached number six on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and number two in the UK.
Travis is also a record producer and has a clothing line called Famous Stars & Straps. He brings an understanding of the reality TV lifestyle to his new relationship, having filmed MTV series, Meet the Barkers, with his second ex-wife, Shanna Moakler, in 2005. The pair divorced in 2008.
The Blink-182 musician is also famous for his impressive collection of over 100 tattoos. His influencer daughter, Alabama, 15, recently filmed an IGTV with her game dad where she covered up a couple of his facial tattoos with a newly-released KVD foundation.
The drummer is also dad to Alabama’s brother Landon, 17, and step-dad to Antiana, 22, all from his marriage to Shanna. He was previously married to Melissa Kennedy from 2001-2002.
How long have Kourtney and Travis been dating?
Kourtney and Travis have been dating since February, with one of the earliest official hints to their relationship dropped by Kourtney, who shared a photo of holding hands just after Valentine’s Day.
Travis’ tattooed hand is pretty distinctive, and the performer has since gone on to get inked in Kourtney’s name – quite literally – too! The Kardashian star’s name can now proudly be seen on his chest.
The rocker opened up about his relationship with Kourtney on Drew Barrymore’s talk show in March. He spoke of the importance of dating another parent who prioritised their kids, calling her a ‘great mom’ and ‘a great friend’.
He also mentioned a quirky love note Kourtney had written for him, which said: ‘May we destroy each other completely’.
