Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker marriage and relationship: A timeline
It was a Las Vegas wedding for Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker. The couple, known for their very public displays of affection, got hitched in Vegas right after the Grammys this year and were officiated by an Elvis personater.
Reports say that the couple did not allow anyone at the chapel to take pictures of them; instead, brought their own photographer and security.
Sources told TMZ that the two had their own marriage license and presented it to the chapel's owner, who also acted as a witness. None of their families were in attendance.
But fret not, for the Poosh star and Blink-182 singer are expected to have multiple ceremonies, with much fanfare and their families attending them all.
Travis shares stepdaughter Atiana, 21, daughter Alabama, 15, and son Landon, 17, with his ex-wife Shanna Moakler, whom he was married to from 2004 to 2008. Kourt and her ex Scott Disick (who she never married), meanwhile, co-parent their three kids; Mason, 11, Reign, 6, and their 8-year-old daughter Penelope. Kourt and Scott ended their 9-year relationship in July 2015.
We've all seen the lip-touching and Kourtney's 'baby daddies' introduction with Megan Fox, but where and when did it all begin?
Presenting...the KOURTNEY AND TRAVIS TIMELINE
Btw we have a box of tissues at hand and Taylor Swift on repeat while we write this. We suggest you do too.
FEBRUARY 2019: THE SUSPENSE
While rumours first emerged in 2018, they started solidfying when Kourt and Travis were spotted having dinner at Nobu in California, US, in February 2019. A source told E! News at the time, "They had dinner at Nobu with the kids because they are friendly. It was a family dinner. They've been friends for years. They've lived in the same neighbourhood for a long time and they see each other at church and with their kids."
The source also said, "They've hung out together many times and often get together with the kids to see movies or to get ice cream. They always have fun together. He's a nice guy and their kids really get along well. Kourtney has his kids over for playdates and vice versa."
MARCH 2019: THE MYSTERY CONTINUES
RadarOnline reported that the romance rumours weren't all fake. An insider told the website, "Ever since Kourt has been single, they’ve gotten closer and closer — to the point where he sneakily stays at her place now. Their friendship is definitely turning romantic, which has taken her by surprise."
While Travis was always interested in Kourt, it was Kourt who was now ready to explore things. Even though an insider said that they were becoming romantic, Travis said, "Kourtney’s like a dear friend. That’s it. I mean, I love her to death. I love her family to death. But yeah, just friends," at the 2019 iHeartRadio Music awards.
JANUARY 2021: THE CONFIRMATION
Kravis's first public Instagram activity was when Kourt dropped a picture of herself and Travis commented a red rose on it.

Curious fans also found both of them posting the same pool picture. Check out the picture here:

Us Weekly gave the world the confirmation it needed and the one everyone was waiting for. Kourt and Travis are confirmed to be dating in January 2019.
A source tells Us Weekly, "Kourtney and Travis are officially a couple. They have been close friends for years and have been dating for a couple months. Travis is very smitten with Kourtney and has been for a while."
At the time, a different source told People that the couple were in Palm Springs and had been dating for about one to two months.
FEBRUARY 2021: INSTAGRAM OFFICIAL
The month of love is when Kravis decided to go Instagram official. Kourt released a picture of them holding hands, and Travis dropped a black heart emoji on the post.

The couple also celebrated a low-key Valentine's Day (no, not because they don't like going overboard with their gifts, but instead because of Covid-19).
Kourtney also revealed on her Instagram story that a picture of her in a red bikini is someone's lock screen. To avoid confusion, she captioned the picture, "P.S. This lock screen does not belong to me."
To be fair, if our abs looked that good, we would definitely make it our lockscreen.
MARCH 2021: WHAT DOES SCOTT SAY?
Entertainment Tonight decided to ask Scott Disick what he thought about Kravis's relationship and a source told ET, "Scott knows he always has a special place in Kourtney’s heart and that he can’t ever be replaced and will always be in the picture since he’s the father of their children. He isn’t threatened by Kourtney and Travis’s relationship at this point."
(spoiler alert: His chill was pretty short-lived)
On the other hand, Kravis take a step forward as the big 'I love you' exchange happens between them. Travis shares a handwritten note by Kourt with the special words, which he later posts to his Instagram Stories.
On March 29, the world gets a glimpse of Kourt and Travis's first public display of affection. Podcaster Amanda Hirsch (known as notskinnybutnotfat on Instagram), releases a video on her Instagram account of Travis sucking Kourtney’s finger at the UFC game in Las Vegas. Check out the video here:

APRIL 2021: FAMILIES MEET, TATTOOS HAPPEN AND BIRTHDAYS ARE CELEBRATED

Not only did their kids meet, but Travis even got a Kourtney tattoo! Eagle-eyed fans caught Kourtney's name on Travis's chest (specifically, right over his heart) while he was walking around shirtless in Hollywood for his music video. Of course, Kourtney posted the tattoo:

And everyone knows that April is Kourtney's birthday month (April 18, her birthday) so as a good boyfriend does, Travis went all out. Travis posted the sappiest birthday tribute to her; a photo dump essentially, which, much to his followers' and our surprise, had a video of Kourt sucking his thumb. (seriously, what is up with all the thumb-sucking?!)

Travis captioned the post, "I F****** LOVE YOU! YOU’RE A BLESSING TO THIS WORLD. HAPPY BIRTHDAY @kourtneykardash."
As one does, Travis also got Kourt a massive flower bouquet of gardenias and tulips - a Kourtney Kardashian favourite.
Just in case you thought that was all, Kravis got on yet ANOTHER vacation in Utah's Amangiri resort in Canyon Point, the place from where these internet-breaking pictures emerged:

A souce also tells Entertainment Tonight that an engagment might be coming soon. The source says, "Kourtney and Travis really recognise now more than ever how special their relationship is and how fortunate they are to spend their time together whether it’s just the two of them, with friends, or with their families. They could also definitely see themselves ending up together one day and it’s really whatever makes Kourtney happy. They’re just living in the moment and enjoying each day. Building a future together in a more permanent respect could likely happen."
AUGUST 2021: KRAVIS TAKE THEIR FIRST FLIGHT AND SCOTT MESSES UP
For those who don't know, Travis was involved in plane crash in 2008, which killed his security guard, Charles Still, his assistant, Chris Baker, and the plane’s two pilots. Since then, Travis has avoided getting on planes. This makes August 2021 exceptionally important, as this is the first time Travis boards a flight with Kourt.

...and seems like they took the flight to Italy as Kourtney posts a picture of them vacationing in Italy (seriously, how many holidays do these two go on?)

Kourt and Travis's relationship now seems to worry Scott (if you can't remember what happened, go back to March 2021). Scott slips into Kourt's other ex, Younes Bendjima's DMs on Instagram and says, "Yo is this chick ok!???? Broooo like what is this. In the middle of Italy."
Evidently, Younes did not share Scott's energy and responded with, "Doesn't matter to me as long as she's happy. P.S: I ain't your bro". (RESPECT)
A source told ENews that Kourt "just wishes he (Scott) would know better than to reach out to Younes of all people. Younes can never be trusted and Scott knows that. She's not going to change what she's doing and is going to keep enjoying her trip."
SEPTEMBER 2021: FIRST PUBLIC APPEARANCE
Apart from Scott's drama, Kravis hit another big milestone as they made their first public appearance at the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards. Both dressed in black, they touch lips on the red carpet:

FEBRUARY 2022: A VALENTINE TO REMEMBER
With Covid-19 now having taken a back seat, Travis went all out for Valentine's Day 2022. Kourtney posted pictures of the gifts on her Instagram stories, and fans got to see a giant statue of Mickey and Minnie gazing at each other with love, surrounded by a massive number of roses. Seriously, it was MASSIVE.
