While many people view The Kardashians stars, Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker as a match made in heaven, some fans see reasons their relationship won’t last. As clues come forward, some believe they are heading toward a split.
Kourtney Kardashian And Travis Barker Appear Close On Camera
Although The Kardashians star, Kourtney Kardashian Barker seems to be smitten with Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, some see signs they aren’t going to last. Many of their on-screen engagements are PDA-focused and dripping with an abundance of physical attraction. But when Kourtney talks about Travis she is completely under a love spell of his charm. Both have been in relationships before they came together. Kourtney and Scott Disick were together for nearly ten years but never married. They share three children, Mason, Penelope, and Reign. Likewise, Travis was in relationships before Kourtney. He was in two marriages before walking down the aisle with Kourtney. He shares two children with ex-wife Shanna Moakler (marriage 2004–2008) and was also with Melissa Kennedy (2001–2002) before that. Their children are Landon and Alabama, and his stepdaughter, Atiana De La Hoya. In 2023, Kourtney and Travis welcomed their first child together, Rocky Thirteen Barker.

More Than What Meets The Eye
On Reddit, one user introduces the idea of Travis and Kourtney Kardashian Barker heading to Splitsville. They say, “Why I think Kourtney and Travis won’t last.” Then, The Kardashians fan elaborates on the reasons. They begin, “Hey Y’all, I’ve been following Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker’s relationship for a while now, and I have some thoughts on why I don’t think they’ll stand the test of time.” Then, the user gives several reasons they think the relationship is bound to fail.

Clues Kourtney Kardashian & Travis Barker Will Split?
The Reddit user adds several reasons they believe the relationship isn’t designed to last.
- “First off, their relationship feels very much like a whirlwind romance. They’ve gone from being friends to an intensely public and affectionate couple in what seems like no time at all. While it’s great to see them happy, sometimes these fast-paced relationships burn out just as quickly as they ignite.”
- “Another concern is their vastly different lifestyles. Kourtney, as a mother of three, has always seemed to prioritize her family and a more laid-back, organic lifestyle. Travis, on the other hand, comes from the rock-and-roll world, which can be chaotic and demanding. While opposites can attract, these differences might create significant challenges over time.”
- “Moreover, the constant media attention can put a strain on any relationship. Both Kourtney and Travis are used to being in the spotlight, but the pressure to constantly present a perfect relationship to the public can lead to issues behind closed doors. We’ve seen this with other celebrity couples, where the public facade hides deeper problems.”
- “Finally, blending families is never easy. Kourtney’s children and Travis’s kids all need to adapt to this new family dynamic, which can be a complex and difficult process. Any friction here can add stress to their relationship.” Concluding saying, “I genuinely hope they prove me wrong and find lasting happiness together, but these factors make me skeptical about their long-term prospects. What do you all think?”

More Fans Weigh In
While Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker spend time showing the world their lovey-dovey relationship, some people see other red flags.
- “I don’t think Kourtney and Travis are really interested in blending their families and living as one. They just want to focus on themselves and pay attention to their respective kids while having a cordial relationship with each other’s kids which makes sense. Travis’ kids are all grown up and they don’t really want Kourtney as a ‘mother figure’. Kourtney’s kids are young but Scott is still involved in their life so they don’t really see Travis as a ‘father figure’Personally, I would admire a couple who are in their mind 40s and 50s to have that chemistry but seeing them being so over on camera can make peopl uncomfortable.”
- “He’s also a huge ‘Love Bomber.’”
- Referencing the reality TV series with Travis and Shanna Moakler, “It’s like watching meet the barkers all over again. The woman doesn’t even matter, it’s the Travis show.”
- “He treats her the same, it’s like he just switched out the body. The only reason this may work is because he’s old, and she elevates his fame to a new demographic, made him relevant again.”
- “And just as importantly a self admitted giant cheater. He’s cheated on all other wives.”

Is Travis Barker A ‘Love Bomber?’
After some fans brought up Travis Barker being a “lover bomber” to Kourtney Kardashian as well as his previous wives, some fans looked for clarification.
- “What is a love bomber?”
- Another person answers, “A person that uses over the top displays of affection to manipulate other people. Tons of PDA, massive gestures, huge presents, constant communication about how much they love you and how you’re so great for them. It wont be 24/7/365 but it will be there in the beginning courting or honeymoon stages and will ebb and flow after that, typically used to draw partners back after messing up instead of acknowledging the transgression and working to fix that behavior.”
- And someone else pulls in WebMD: “From WebMD: ‘Love bombing is an emotional manipulation technique that involves giving someone excessive compliments, attention, or affection to eventually control them.’”
Do Kourtney Kardashian’s Kids Like Travis?
Furthermore, other fans believe that Kourtney Kardashian’s kids don’t like Travis Barker.
- “Also the fact that Kourtney’s kids hate his guts 💯.”
- “Oh yeah most recent example being mason skipping a trip to Australia just because he hates travis so much.”
- But other fans point out it could just be kids wanting to do their own thing. “Or because he’s a teenager that doesn’t want to go on a family trip cause he’d rather hang out with his mates? The Travis hate is such a reach.”
- “Penelope literally broke down in tears when she found out they were getting married and the fact that mason lives with Scott full time it’s pretty obvious.”
Kourtney Kardashian Is Trying To ‘Fix’ Men In Her Life
Others wondered about Travis’ past and think Kourtney Kardashian may have a type.

- “He nearly died in a plane crash that killed his friends and caused another friend to die from an eventual relapse people really need to add the context here. Why aren’t we talking about how weird it is that Kourtney thinks she can fix broken men by having their babies.”
- “That last point!!!! I always felt she kind of enabled Scott then had babies and thought he’d change? And so here, it seems to be the same course of events. She enables this lifestyle knowing she doesn’t really like it it expects it to change post kids, what will happen when it doesn’t? Scott 2.0? Another 3 kids? She actually married the guy, does she have the balls to divorce?”
Why I think Kourtney and Travis won’t last.
