Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker‘s romance may have surprised some fans, but the pair had been friends and neighbors for years before they started dating. The reality star and Blink-182 drummer both lived in Calabasas, California, and often spent time together with their families long before their relationship turned romantic.
After years of friendship, Kardashian and Barker took their relationship to the next level in early 2021 and made their romance Instagram official shortly after Valentine’s Day. Their whirlwind love story quickly captured headlines, leading to a beachside engagement in October 2021 and three wedding celebrations the following year: an unofficial Las Vegas ceremony, a legal wedding in Santa Barbara and a lavish Italian wedding in Portofino.
Here’s a look at the timeline from Travis and Kourtney’s journey to romance, and now, husband and wife!
2007: Kourtney and Travis become neighbors
The same year that Keeping Up With The Kardashians debuted and made Calabasas synonymous with the Kar-Jenner clan for years to come, Travis moved to the L.A. suburb. The Blink 182 drummer purchased a 10,000 plus square foot mansion in The Oaks development for $9.5 million in 2007. He had decamped from Bel Air a year after his 2006 split from former beauty queen Shanna Moakler, with who he shares two children, son Landon and daughter Alabama.
Kourtney lived in The Oaks with then-partner Scott Disick. The couple of nine years welcomed first child Mason in 2010, followed by daughter Penelope and son Reign. The longtime pair split in the summer of 2015. Before their demise, the former couple bought a new mansion in The Oaks in Feb. 2014 for $7.4 million.
2017: Kourtney and Travis’ children bond
Travis and his daughter Alabama did an interview with Entertainment Tonight in Oct. 2017 where the musician revealed, “Kourtney and Khloe live on the same street as us and Landon and Alabama are very close with Mason and Penelope.” Alabama then went on to tell a story about being a part of a Kardashian family dinner where actress and Kardashian superfan Jennifer Lawrence was a surprise guest. “The other day I told Alabama that it was a really cool dinner to be a part of,” the drummer revealed, while Alabama told a story about playing on a backyard tree swing with Penelope.
