Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker reportedly took their searching tongues to a chapel in Las Vegas late Sunday night, or rather early Monday morning, with a marriage license in hand. According to TMZ, they are wed. Elvis (not the real one) did the honors. No photos were allowed besides their own.
The reality television star and the former Blink-182 drummer join a grand tradition of getting married in Vegas, and make the second data point in a potential three’s a trend. Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner did it after the Billboard Music Awards in 2019, and then later held a huge wedding in France. This could be the preliminary ceremony, one just for Kourtney and Travis, and they could always do a bigger one later, say, for the Kardashians’ Hulu show (as big as he went for his beachside proposal—lotta flowers).
Some couples didn’t even have the momentum of an award show with its trophies to propel them down the aisle—they just decided to do it. Like Frank Sinatra and Mia Farrow in 1966, or Bruce Willis and Demi Moore in 1987. Like Jon Bon Jovi and his high school sweetheart Dorothea Hurley in 1989, or Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton in 2000, while Thornton was engaged to Laura Dern. Nicolas Cage and makeup artist Erika Koike did it in 2019 (and had it annulled four days later). The list goes on and on!
