Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker‘s romance may have surprised some fans, but the pair had been friends and neighbors for years before they started dating. The reality star and Blink-182 drummer both lived in Calabasas, California, and often spent time together with their families long before their relationship turned romantic.
After years of friendship, Kardashian and Barker took their relationship to the next level in early 2021 and made their romance Instagram official shortly after Valentine’s Day. Their whirlwind love story quickly captured headlines, leading to a beachside engagement in October 2021 and three wedding celebrations the following year: an unofficial Las Vegas ceremony, a legal wedding in Santa Barbara and a lavish Italian wedding in Portofino.
