Kourtney Kardashian Barker, who entered into matrimony with Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker in 2022, recently shared some unexpected relationship advice she received from her former brother-in-law Kanye West. This revelation came during the latest episode of “The Kardashians,” which aired on 22nd October on Hulu.

Kardashian, a mother of four, reflected on her journey towards a relationship with Barker, which began in 2021. As the couple toured the new home of Barker’s son, Landon, the conversation naturally ventured into the realm of relationships. In a somewhat light-hearted manner, Kourtney advised the young men present to “wait for marriage” before engaging in intimate relationships.
During the discussion, she recalled guidance from West, who was married to her sister Kim Kardashian from 2014 until their divorce in 2021. Kourtney shared a specific piece of advice from West that had resonated with her over the years: “I feel like God is calling me to tell you that you should not hook up with any randoms until you are with your husband.” Kourtney took this to heart and adhered to the advice while dating Barker.
The relationship between Kourtney and Travis blossomed swiftly after years of platonic friendship. They became engaged just months into their relationship and celebrated their union in three separate ceremonies, including a spontaneous wedding in Las Vegas and a courthouse ceremony in Santa Barbara, culminating in a lavish celebration in Italy. This unique approach to their marriage reflects the depth of their connection and shared commitment.
Travis Barker recently discussed the origin of their romance on the podcast “The Magnificent Others,” hosted by musician Billy Corgan. He explained that their friends had often mentioned their compatibility, and they both felt a deep-seated connection that seemed destined to develop into something more substantial. “We both wanted it to happen, and we knew if it did happen, it would probably be like neither of us would have a choice — we would just be overwhelmed with whatever and fall madly in love,” Barker shared.
The couple welcomed their son, Rocky Thirteen, in November 2023. In an earlier interview, Travis highlighted the harmony within their blended family, stating, “Fortunately, all of our kids get along.” He noted that each child has their individuality but congregates for regular family gatherings, creating a supportive environment.
Barker has two children, Landon and Alabama, from his previous marriage to Shanna Moakler, and he maintains a close relationship with Atiana De La Hoya, Moakler’s daughter from her relationship with Oscar De La Hoya. Kourtney, on the other hand, shares three children—Mason, Reign, and Penelope—with her former partner Scott Disick.
Family dynamics play a crucial role in their lives, and Travis underscored the importance of togetherness by stating, “Every Sunday we have family dinner — there’s never a Sunday where we don’t have family dinner.” This commitment to family not only enriches their relationships with each other but also sets a foundation of love and connection for their children.
As new episodes of “The Kardashians” continue to air on Thursdays, fans remain eager to witness more family moments and insights into the lives of Kourtney, Travis, and the extended Kardashian-Jenner clan. Their journey demonstrates that love can blossom from friendship, merging families while navigating the complexities of relationships and parenting. With their shared values and dedication to family, Kourtney and Travis appear well-equipped to embrace the challenges and joys that lie ahead.
