Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker Remind Us That Sometimes Love Is Just Around the Corner

If anyone ever claims that romantic stories are a thing of the past, you can tell them that Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker are living proof that this is not the case. Even though they each had their ups and downs in their previous relationships, they decided to open themselves up to the possibilities of a new life. Now, they are the inspiration for many people to keep the flame lit.

Bright Side gets so excited with love stories that we can’t help but share all the details of the most amazing ones with you, and clearly, this one’s worthy of its name.

In many seasons of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Kourtney Kardashian made it clear that she didn’t want her private life to be picked on by everyone, as she was concerned about her children’s privacy. But it seems that after finding true love, she can’t help but share her happiness with all her followers on social media.

Travis Barker, has played in bands such as The Suicide Machines, Feeble, Box Car Racer, and The Aquabats, among others. But he is best known for being the drummer of the famous pop punk band Blink-182.

The beginning of their story

Before their romance began, they were close friends. For years, the two were neighbors in the prestigious city of Calabasas, Los Angeles. In the first episode of the famous Kardashian family’s new series, Kourtney confessed, “He’s been one of my closest friends for maybe about eight years. We used to go work out together all the time.”

While Kourtney’s mother, Kris, didn’t see the possibility of her daughter and Travis having anything more than a friendship coming, the rest of the family did. And in February 2021, they confirmed their relationship via Instagram with a photo holding hands.

In 2020, the drummer took the first step and invited her friend to watch a movie together. “During the whole movie, he didn’t hint at anything. He was taking his time. The movie was over, we put on another one, and I thought, ’I don’t have time for this.’” That’s how Kourtney was encouraged to take the next step and give him the kiss with which their relationship began.

Their courtship as single parents

The musician has a stepdaughter and two biological children, with whom he has a perfect relationship. On the other hand, Kourtney is the mother of three little ones, whom she had with her ex-partner, Scott Disick. In 2021, Travis was interviewed on Drew Barrymore’s show and talked openly about what it’s like to date someone who also has children.

“Up until now, I had dated girls who didn’t have kids, and it was always kind of difficult because I think they had a hard time understanding why I couldn’t go out to dinner with them every night. Now I’m spending time with a woman who is a great mom, a great friend, and with whom I don’t have to worry about any of those things. It’s a more mature thing,” Travis said.

Tying the knot

Travis Barker decided to visit the grave of Rob Kardashian, who passed away in 2003 and was Kourtney’s father, to ask for his daughter’s hand. That touched Kris Jenner, who made a toast mentioning the gesture: “We saw the excitement of Travis choosing a ring, deciding what he was going to say, and asking for your hand in marriage, not just to me, but to your dad. This makes me so happy.”

He then took it upon himself to arrange all the details with the help of Kourtney’s family, choosing October 17, as it was the anniversary date of the first time they were together. The perfect location was Santa Barbara, California, right at the foot of the beach, where Kourtney didn’t hesitate to say yes.

The two decided to have an impromptu ceremony after the 2022 Grammy Awards. However, Kourtney revealed that it was more of a symbolic celebration, as it was impossible to get the necessary permissions at 2 a.m.

However, a month later they married officially, in a courtroom. And their love and commitment to each other and their children keeps growing stronger than ever.

How has your love story with your current partner been? Where would you have liked them to ask you to marry them?
