HOW DID TRAVIS BARKER AND KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN REALLY MEET?
By WILMIE KLOP
If you had told us a year ago that Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian would be one of 2021's hottest couples, we would have been a tiny bit skeptical. The Blink-182 drummer and glamorous "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star seem like polar opposites, but they actually go way back.
In 2006, Barker was "hooking up with" Paris Hilton, and at the time, Kourtney's sister Kim Kardashian was Hilton's assistant. Barker was apparently quite taken with Kim before her sister Kourt, telling US Weekly in 2015, "I was [in] no way disrespectful to Paris, but I couldn't keep my eyes off Kim!"
While the rocker has shifted his gaze to a different Kardashian sister, it seems like this first encounter sparked an enduring friendship with the family. Barker even appeared on a 2017 episode of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" shortly after moving to the same gated community as Kourtney in Calabasas, Calif.
