Kourtney Kardashian has a new boyfriend, and he is a familiar face: Travis Barker.
The couple, who were rumored to have been an affair for weeks, revealed their relationship this week with a snapshot of their hands together on Kardashian’s Instagram page.
The photo does not include a caption, but Barker notably commented on it with a black heart emoji.
Actor Khadijah Haqq McCray, a friend of the Kardashian family, revealed how the romance emerged in the comments, writing: “When friends become lovers ❤️.”
Barker has been in the orbit of the Kardashian-Jenner family for years. Band member Blink-182 and +44 reportedly even had a brief crush on Kourtney’s sister, Kim.
Kardashian has had a relationship with model Younes Bendjima and TV personality Scott Disick, with whom she shares her three children, while Barker was married to model Shanna Moakler.
