Kourtney Kardashian & Travis Barker’s Relationship Timeline: From Friendly Neighbors To Sexy Lovers

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker have made their romance Instagram official after dating speculation. We have their timeline of how the friends grew into so much more.

Kourtney Kardashian, 41, and Travis Barker, 45, have been friends for years, as the two have resided in Calabasas, CA long before it became a residential destination for other rich and famous folks. Over the years, they’ve enjoyed lunches in the western San Fernando Valley enclave, gone to church services together and when they needed company, were the perfect hangout companions. They’re even workout buddies! But the pair had rumored to have taken their friendship to the next level in early 2021, and became Instagram official as a couple just after Valentine’s Day. Here’s a look at the timeline from Travis and Kourtney’s journey to romance.

The same year that Keeping Up With The Kardashians debuted and made Calabasas synonymous with the Kar-Jenner clan for years to come, Travis moved to the L.A. suburb. The Blink 182 drummer purchased a 10,000 plus square foot mansion in The Oaks development for $9.5 million in 2007. He had decamped from Bel Air a year after his 2006 split from former beauty queen Shanna Moakler, with who he shares two children, son Landon, now 17, and daughter Alabama, now 15.

Kourtney lived in The Oaks with then-partner Scott Disick. The couple of nine years welcomed first child Mason, 11, in 2010, followed by daughter Penelope, 8, and son Reign, 6. The longtime pair split in the summer of 2015. Before their demise, the former couple bought a new mansion in The Oaks in Feb. 2014 for $7.4 million, where Kourt and the kids still live.

Travis and his daughter Alabama did an interview with Entertainment Tonight in Oct. 2017 where the musician revealed, “Kourtney and Khloe live on the same street as us and Landon and Alabama are very close with Mason and Penelope.” Alabama then went on to tell a story about being a part of a Kardashian family dinner where actress and Kardashian superfan Jennifer Lawrence was a surprise guest. “The other day I told Alabama that it was a really cool dinner to be a part of,” the drummer revealed, while Alabama told a story about playing on a backyard tree swing with Penelope.
