Keeping Up With The Kardashian’s star Kourtney Kardashian, 41, and Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, 45, are officially dating and have become “way more serious,” according to Entertainment Tonight. The longtime friends confirmed their relationship on Instagram earlier this year. After a few months of dating, Kardashian and Barker went on their first joint family vacation in April 2021—a clear sign their romance has escalated.
Kardashian has three children: Mason, 11, Penelope, 8, and Reign, 6, with ex-boyfriend Scott Disick. Their on-and-off relationship ended in 2015. After their high-profile split, Kardashian and Disick started dating other people. The two remain good friends.
Barker has two children: Landon, 17, and Alabama, 15, with ex-wife Shanna Moakler. Barker remains close with stepdaughter Atiana Cecilia De La Hoya, who was from Moakler’s previous relationship.
Kardashian and Barker have history that predates their romantic involvement: They’re neighbors and live in the same gated neighborhood in Calabasas, California. Barker’s family has even had dinners at the Kardashian family’s homes. Kardashian and Barker have been seen out with friends over the years and denied dating rumors until now.
Here, everything we know about the two’s history, from the first time the couple was speculated to be dating to their recent family trip.
January 2021
Rumors of Barker and Kardashian dating surface after the two spend time together in Palm Springs at Kris Jenner’s home. The rumored new couple shared a photo of the same view in their Instagram Story, seemingly confirming that they were together.
People reported in late January that Barker and Kardashian were officially dating. A source told the outlet that “they’re in Palm Springs together. They’ve been dating for about a month or two.” The insider added that “Travis has liked her for a while.”
A source told E! News shortly after People released its report that Kardashian’s ex Disick was fine with Kardashian’s new romance with Barker. “He’s really happy for Kourtney and is not surprised they are dating. Kourtney has spent a lot of time with Travis and it’s not shocking to him that they developed a romantic relationship,” the source said.

E! News reported the pair was seen enjoying dinner at Matsuhisa in Los Angeles, in what appeared to be their first public date. An eyewitness told the outlet that “they seem very connected, very close. Travis took her hand, and they giggled as they started having a little thumb war with one another. It was playful and sweet. They were talking constantly and very engaged with one another. It seems like such a natural fit.”
According to Page Six, the pair spent Valentine’s Day together. Barker posted a photo of a diamond anklet that he gifted the Poosh creator on his Instagram story. Kardashian posted a poem that referenced her romance with the drummer. “Roses are red / Violets are blue / Garlic bread / Blink-182,” the poem read.

In early March, Barker was interviewed for The Drew Barrymore Show. The punk rocker talked about his collaboration with Machine Gun Kelly and also provided Barrymore with dating advice. She asked Barker about the difference between dating a single parent vs. someone without children. In his response, he expressed his admiration for Kardashian. “Up until now, I would date girls who didn’t have kids, and I find it kind of hard because I think they would have trouble understanding, like ‘Why don’t you want to go to dinner every night with me? Or why don’t you want to see me every night,’” Barker said. “And now, I’m spending time with a woman who’s a great mom, who’s a great friend, and you don’t have to worry about any of those things. It just comes natural.”
On March 20, Kardashian and Barker were spotted at Nobu in Malibu. The two left the restaurant holding hands. Kardashian wore a gray and green striped button-up with leather pants paired with black thigh-high boots. Barker kept it casual as he wore a checkered flannel top with a graphic tee underneath and black and gray pants, paired with his signature black beanie.
