Well, well, well, look who finally confirmed the relationship: Kourtney Kardashian and her longtime friend, Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker. As you may have suspected, she was the first to confirm, using a classic approach: she posted an Instagram photo of her manicured hand clinging to Barker’s heavily tattooed.
And so this period of intense speculation ends, which admittedly was not that long. It was only at the end of last month that People first reported that Kardashian, 41, and Barker, 45, were an item. At the time, a source told the channel that their relationship had “become romantic” and that they had been dating “for about a month or two”. Then, on Valentine’s Day, the two posted pictures of what appeared to be the same blinking fireplace, and Kourtney shared a graffiti photo that clearly said: “Roses are red, violets are blue, garlic bread, Blink-182”. (Barker also posted in his Instagram story a close-up photo of a diamond anklet surrounding a woman’s ankle.) Throughout this period, Barker has left suggestive messages under Kardashian’s Instagram photos.
So, it has been very clear all along that they are dating, but now we know that they definitely are. As we suspect, they did spend some time in front of the same fireplace on Valentine’s Day; that ankle belonged to Kardashian. They look like a good match: they already have a strong relationship base, they know each other’s children, they share the love for vegan food, etc.
And think – when rumors emerged almost two years ago that Kardashian and Barker were dating, the latter vigorously denied the speculation, emphasizing that they were no each other like that. “I mean, I love you so much. I love her family to the death, ”he said People in March 2019. “But yes, just friends.” How things have changed.
