Everyone knows Travis Barker.
He serves as the drummer for the rock band Blink-182.
The band took the music scene by storm in the late ’90s.
Barker co-wrote many of the band’s most popular songs.
Barker acquired great fame due to his work with the band.
He’s also played with other bands such as Box Car Racer and +44.
While also collaborating with other artists such as Machine Gun Kelly, Jaden Smith, Lil Wayne, and Willow Smith too.
Blink -182’s first album with Scott Raynor was a hit that became the biggest pop punk band of the era.
While their tune ‘All Small Things’ ranked no 6 on the Billboard Hot 100…
The music video also won MTV’s Video Music Awards for Best Group Video.
Barker then went on to launch a clothing brand, which catered to the needs of every punk rock fan including the skateboarding community.
He named it ‘Famous Stars and Straps’.
His love for tattoos and art has been expressed through his influential style and personality.
And he then went on to feature in a reality show series titled Meet The Barkers in 2005, which gave an insight into his role as a family man.
Although, Barker has had a few relationships throughout life…
He kept his first one with Melissa Kennedy out of the spotlight.
He then married model and actress Shanna Moakler in 2004.
And after 2 years of dating and a year later, they welcomed their eldest son, Landon.
Their second child, Alabama, was born on Christmas Eve in 2005.
But it’s also worth mentioning that Barker helped raise Shanna’s first daughter, Atiana Cecilia De La Hoya, from her relationship with boxer Oscar De La Hoya.
However, in their short-lived reality series, their relationship proved to be volatile, and in 2006 Barker filed for divorce, only for them to reconcile again by 2007…
But they officially divorced in 2008.
In the same year, the couple went public with their feud on MySpace, as both fired shots at the other over their fidelity and mental health.
Despite this Shanna looked after Travis after he was involved in a plane crash that killed nearly everyone on board.
According to The Mirror, the 2 remained living together until 2012 in order to raise their young children together, and remain amicable.
Shanna later said of their relationship: “Our marriage was plagued by his addictions to pills and other women. He constantly cheated on me. Living with him was like being on a rollercoaster – he’s a Jekyll and Hyde character.”
Barker soon found love in a number of women…
Including Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Rita Ora, and even Kim Kardashian, can you believe it?
Coincidently, after years of friendship, he started dating Kourtney Kardashian in February 2021.
Since then, they haven’t been able to keep their hands off each other.
The pair got married on a romantic getaway in the midst of their family in Italy on 15 May 2022.
The duo has been traveling the world together.
Recently, however, Barker shared a tribute post for his “4ever boy.”
According to Page Six, Barker and his youngest child, Alabama, were photographed looking sad and embracing each other as they made their way out of a veterinarian’s office in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
Alabama held dog toys in her arms as she wiped away tears.
The father-daughter duo wore matching sunglasses, black hoodies, and shorts as they walked together.
“I’ll miss you Blue. You were the best dog. I was always waiting for you to say something,” Travis captioned a video showing him and his daughter gently petting the canine.
Reportedly, the duo was mourning the loss of their beloved French Bulldog, Blue.
Rest in peace, Blue.
