From a Dreamy Wedding to a Surprise Pregnancy: Kourtney & Travis' Love Story

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker just announced that they're expecting! From their romantic Italian wedding to the surprising pregnancy announcement, here's every juicy moment of their love story.

Old Friends to New Flames

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker's relationship proves that old friends can become new flames. Despite raising eyebrows a few times along the way, the couple's long-standing connection is no secret.

In fact, the two have known each other for a lot longer than the time they've been dating. The Kardashian empire might even owe more than just a little gratitude to this punk rock drummer. Before Kim Kardashian became a household name, she sought guidance from an unlikely source - Travis Barker.

A Reality TV Matchmaker

Sources reveal that the drummer and Kim K met during his romantic rendezvous with Paris Hilton. But it wasn't just a fling - the two became friends, and Travis even gave Kim some killer advice on starting her own reality show. And, well, we all know what a success that turned into.

“Kim was like, ‘I really want to do this reality show. We’re supposed to do it with Ryan Seacrest. I just think my family’s interesting,’” Barker recalled in an interview with Us Weekly in 2015. “I gave her the best advice I could but I still remember the conversation like yesterday."

The Kardashian Charm

Despite his thing with Paris Hilton back in the day, Travis Barker spilled the tea on his secret crush on none other than Kim Kardashian herself. "How could you not stare at Kim?," he admitted in a tell-all interview. "She was eye candy, and I couldn't keep my eyes off her."

Looks like the Kardashian charm was irresistible, even before the Kardashian-Jenner clan took over the spotlight, when Kim was known as Paris Hilton's assistant. But who would've thought that the drummer would soon fall under the spell of yet another Kardashian's charm?

Romance Rumors

In September 2018, rumors of a budding romance between Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian began to circulate. Reports from Metro suggested that the Blink-182 drummer had made the first move by sliding into Kourtney's DMs. The pair were later spotted enjoying a cozy dinner at Crossroads Kitchen, a trendy vegan eatery in Los Angeles.

Eyewitnesses claimed that Barker was the perfect gentleman throughout the evening, and even escorted Kourtney to her car after their low-key date. Though the rumors hadn't yet developed into a full-blown relationship, fans couldn't help but speculate about what could have been for this potential Hollywood power couple...

'Just Friends'

Six months later, the relationship rumors were swiftly shut down by the Blink-182 drummer himself. Speaking with People, Barker made it clear that he and Kardashian were nothing more than "dear friends." He went on to say, "I mean, I love her to death. I love her family to death. But yeah, just friends." (Whatever you say, Travis.)

Though fans had speculated about the two becoming a potential Hollywood power couple, they were forced to accept that the rumors were unfounded. Despite this, Barker's affection for Kardashian and her family was clear, leaving many wondering if this friendship could eventually blossom into something more down the line...

A Special Spark

It wasn't until January 2021 that E! News began reporting the two old friends had taken their relationship to the next level after being spotted together in Palm Springs. A source revealed that the romance had been "very low-key," and that Barker was an excellent match for Kardashian.

"They are a really good match, and Kourtney’s entire family already loves Travis," the source continued. "They have been neighbors and great friends for years, and it just recently turned romantic." It seemed clear that Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker have found something special in each other.

Undeniable Chemistry

"They have a lot in common, and Kourtney has always been attracted to how Travis is as a parent. He’s an amazing, hands-on dad, and Kourtney loves that about him," the insider said. "They love relaxing at home with their kids, and everyone gets along."

"Travis has always had an eye for Kourtney. The chemistry and flirtation has always been there," the source continued, adding that "It’s going well, and they aren’t putting pressure on it being super serious at this point." Needless to say, fans were already dubbing them as a match made in Hollywood heaven.

Social Media Flirting

In February 2021, their Instagram followers were treated to a flirty exchange on social media between the two.

Planning Their Future

While everyone waited eagerly for the Kravis wedding, the couple dropped a major bombshell: they wanted to expand their family and have more children. There was no question that a new member of the Kardashian-Barker clan would send shockwaves through Hollywood and beyond.

According to a trailer for Hulu’s The Kardashians, the pair was trying for a baby, and fans of the couple were already speculating about when the big announcement will come. Little did they know, they still had a while to wait before a new member of their family would be introduced to them.

More Red Carpet Appearances

At the 2022 Oscars, the couple once again stunned in matching all-black outfits. Kourtney was a vision in a strapless midi gown by Thierry Mugler, while Barker looked suave in a classic black suit and stylish sunglasses. They definitely know how to make a statement on the red carpet!

Their Grammys debut was no different - Kourtney and Travis walked the red carpet hand in hand, rocking stylish coordinating outfits. Kourtney opted for a daring black jumpsuit, while Barker went for a classic black suit with a splash of color in his hot pink coat. The chemistry between them was palpable - so much so, in fact…

A Secret Wedding

Kourtney and Travis pulled off the biggest surprise of that year - a secret wedding in Vegas! TMZ and Page Six reported that the couple had tied the knot at a Las Vegas chapel just after their appearance at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards. But little did fans know, they were only just getting started…

According to insiders, the lovebirds were planning "several" other events with lots of fanfare following their surprise nuptials. Kourtney later confirmed that although the wedding ceremony took place, their marriage wasn't yet legal because they were unable to obtain a marriage license.

Not Yet Official

During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the reality TV star spilled the beans, saying, "There was no possibility to get a marriage license at that hour. It was 2 a.m. and they were like, 'It opens at 8 o'clock.'" But did that stop them? Nope! "We just did it anyway. It's what's in the heart," Kourtney added.

Ship them or not, Kourtney and Travis' love is a force to be reckoned with. That's why, unsurprisingly, it didn't take long for Kravis to officially be off the market. Just one month later, TMZ reported that the couple had headed to a courthouse in Santa Barbara to make things legal.

Meanwhile, the musician looked dashing in a traditional black suit, also by the iconic Italian luxury brand.

Celebrating Father's Day

Shortly after their breathtaking wedding, the lovebirds celebrated their first Father's Day as a blended family, and it was nothing short of heartwarming. Kourtney's kids made handmade cards for their new stepdad, with Reign's featuring an illustration of Kourtney and Travis holding hands, with a red heart between them.

Penelope's card was equally sweet, with a message that read, "You are so nice and kind you are so amazing you are the beast you are the beast drummer ever you make my mom happy! happy fathers DAY Love Penelope".

Beyond Grateful

Kourtney also shared a post showing the moment Barker joined her in the audience after the announcement. And if that wasn't enough, she also posted a behind-the-scenes photograph of the half-written sign being made. Kourtney sat in front of a large sheet of paper with the words "Travis" and "Pregnant" written across it.

"We are officially done with IVF," Kourtney had revealed on The Kardashians back in May. "We would love a baby more than anything, but I really believe in what God has in store for us. If that's a baby, I believe it will happen." Their pregnancy announcement proves that their faith was well-placed.

Kourt's Baby Bump

Emergency Surgery

Recently, Kravis' pregnancy went through a terrifying week, during which Kourtney was urgently admitted to the hospital for an emergency fetal surgery. She took to Instagram to share the news, along with a post-surgery photo of herself with an IV in her arm, holding her husband's hand.
