Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker are Hollywoodโs odd but cutest celebrity couple. The pair, who celebrated their second wedding anniversary in May, seem like a happy couple with their blended family. However, their relationship is facing a rough patch because of their exes.
Kardashian was in a relationship with Scott Disick from 2006 to 2015. Meanwhile, Barker was married to actress Shanna Moakler from 2004 to 2008.
Although it’s been years since their splits, Scott and Shanna can’t seem to move on, and are making things difficult for the couple.
When Kourtney and Travis tied the knot they became a blended family with their kids. The Lemme founder shares sons Mason, 14, and Reign, 9, and daughter Penelope, 11, with Disick. Barker is dad to son Landon, 20, and daughter Alabama, 18, with Moakler. He’s also stepdad to Moakler’s 25-year-old daughter Atiana De La Hoya from her relationship with boxer Oscar De La Hoya.
The couple has tried to maintain a peaceful environment as they co-parent with their former partners. However, according to Life & Style, Scott and Shanna are causing issues for the couple.
A source tells the news outlet that Disick and Moakler are responsible for the couple spending time apart.
It was all amped up a bit for the show but still, the truth is they actually have had to spend a huge amount of time apart and they still do at times, mostly because of their toxic exes.
In regards to Disick and Barker, the source claims:
Scott is still a nightmare [when] it comes to the custody drop-offs, he’s still so bitter about Travis.
The feeling’s mutual because the insider says Travis “can’t stand Scott.” When Disick drops off the kids, the Blink-182 drummer makes himself scarce. “So he usually just goes into his shell and avoids the whole situation by taking off,” the source revealed.
Meanwhile, Moakler, who’s been publicly vocal about her feelings toward the couple, is a nightmare behind the scenes. The source reveals that Kardashian tries to avoid Shanna at all costs.
[The] truth is she’s scared of Shanna, so she doesn’t want to risk seeing her face to face. So, unfortunately it still does create situations where they have to take time apart on the weekends. It’s beyond aggravating that Scott and Shanna still have this sort of power over them.
The couple, who welcomed their son Rocky in November 2023 have hit a rough patch. The insider says the two are “trying to be mature” regarding their exes. They’re also making sure not to “overstep boundaries when it comes to the kids.” However, the situation has created “tension in their relationship.”
Like many celebrity couples, Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker have to deal with negativity from their exes. It’s a tough situation for everyone involved, and hopefully, the couple can find a peaceful solution to their problems.
