A new year and a new celebrity relationship to fawn over, thanks to newly-married couple Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker.
The Poosh founder and Blink-182 artist began dating at the beginning of 2021. Sightings of the couple were reported in February 2021, with paparazzi footage first showing Kardashian and Barker enjoying each other's company while out for dinners in Los Angeles.
Sleuthing fans have since been digging out old tweets between the pair, as well as loving the pair's non stop PDA on social media.
Kardashian - the eldest sibling of the famous family - has embarked on a new chapter in her life after wrapping up on filming the final season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians after 14 years.
She's focusing on her lifestyle platform Poosh and proudly posting about her three children (Mason, Penelope and Reign) who she shares with former partner Scott Disick.
Not to mention, she's embarked on an IVF journey in hopes of her and Barker welcoming a baby together.
Barker is most recognisable as the drummer in the Noughties-dominating rock band. However, Barker and Kardashian also have a reality TV background in common as, along with his ex-wife Shanna Moakler and their children, Barker once fronted the fly-on-the-wall Meet the Barkers MTV reality show documenting life at home with his family.
For those wondering, here's a list of everything we know about Kourtney Kardashian's husband, starting with the most recent update:
November 4, 2022: Kourtney Kardashian on guilt and parenting
Kardashian has been forced to defend herself on several occasions in recent years after receiving criticism for not spending enough time with her children.
In episode eight of The Kardashians season two, the mother-of-three opened up about feeling 'guilty' for going on holiday without her kids.
'Travis and I are going to Milan to do our fittings for our wedding, and our wedding weekend,' Kardashian began, explaining that she and Barker decided to leave their children at home while they went away.
She added that it would be the 'longest time period' she and her husband have been without their children for.
Kardashian also explained that the couple's busy schedules included having to fly straight from Italy to New York for the Met Gala.'From Milan, we go to New York for the Met, and then we finally get to come home to our kids,' the Poosh founder shared.
'We’re both really similar and get this guilty feeling, but we shorten it up as much as we can.'
August 17, 2022: Kourtney Kardashian shares photos during Travis Barker's US tour with Machine Gun Kelly
Kardashian supported her husband on his US tour with his friend and fellow musician Machine Gun Kelly. After previously sharing loved-up photos of herself and the Blink-182 drummer, she posted more cute pics of the pair today.
The photos, taken in Cleveland, Ohio, showed the Poosh founder and her husband holding hands while seemingly walking towards the stage.
In the images the reality star was wearing a long pink trench coat over a black lingerie-inspired look. She finished her outfit with a mini black tassel-trimmed bag and pin-thin stiletto sandals.
Meanwhile, her beau Barker wore dungarees with a graphic top and trainers, which he accessorised with tinted black shades and a spiky necklace.
August 16, 2022: Kourtney Kardashian shared loved-up photos of her and Travis Barker during his US tour and deemed herself a 'tour wife'
On August 12, Kourtney Kardashian shared some shots from Travis Barker's tour with Machine Gun Kelly, which saw them travelling across the United States and lovingly packing on the PDA.
In the photos shared to Instagram she and Barker were shown cuddling while staring into each other's eyes.
Other images showed them walking hand-in-hand as they seemingly approached the stage together.
At the time, Kardashian wore a white cut-out top and heavily distressed wide-leg jeans.
Meanwhile, a shirtless Barker also opted for camouflage trousers and a studded metallic belt.
Kardashian captioned the photos: 'Tour wife [sic].'
Barker commented on the post: 'Tour life's better with you.'
On the same day the Blink-182 drummer shared a clip of himself with his wife, which showed him playing the drums as she straddled his lap and kissed him. Turns out he's quite the multitasker.
'Practice makes perfect,' he captioned the clip.
Kardashian shared photos from the same moment and wrote: 'Time for drum practice.'
Barker commented: 'Favourite time of the day.'
The musician who had a a pancreatitis scare that sent him to hospital in June had joined Kelly on tour against doctor's orders, according an Instagram story from the rapper.
Referring to the 'broken thumb and torn tendons' Barker said he had, which made drumming slightly difficult, Kelly wrote: 'Against his doctor's orders AND with a broken thumb I convinced @travisbarker to come join us for the last couple days [of the tour].'
June 21, 2022: Travis Barker shared a photo of Kourtney Kardashian's underwear, stitched with his name at the front and back
During Father's Day, which saw Kardashian and Barker celebrate with an outdoor dinner and garden dinner cinema (involving an at-home screening of Father Of The Bride), the latter shared a photo to his Instagram story of lace underwear.
The undergarments in question were marked with his first name embroidered in blue at the front and back. While we didn't know when Kardashian received the underwear, we believed it was likely she wore them for the couple's lavish Italian wedding, judging by a former post from her stylist Dani Michelle, who previously shared a series of photos of her wedding look on Instagram.
As well as posting images that showed off Kardashian's lingerie-style mini dress, Michelle shared a photo of a lacy thong placed on a dinner table, which also came with stitching spelling out Travis' name.
In addition, the trusted Kardashian stylist also shared to her Instagram story details about the underwear, writing: 'Thank you @laperlalingerie for making the sexiest and coolest lingerie for this special week.
'From her one of a kind underpinnings, to your embroidery and the cutest garter belts, it made our night complete!
'I got one pair for our quick change — the rest is for our bride to share lol [sic].'
June 9, 2022: Kourtney Kardashian shares photos from her and husband Travis Barker's joint Bach party
Kourtney Kardashian shared even more behind-the-scene photos from the days leading up to her and Travis Barker's wedding.
The Poosh founder posted snaps from what appeared to be her and her husband's joint bachelor-bachelorette party in Palm Springs, California.
'Romeo and Juliet vibes for the Bach, [sic]' captioned the newlyweds on an Instagram post, with emojis that referenced the gothic theme.
The carousel of photos and video included a picture of the couple leaning in for a kiss at a dinner table decorated with multiple white candles.
Another image showed a picture of a red heart-shaped cake with words that read: 'KRAVIS 4EVER'. The post also featured an image of a human heart-shaped bag next to a red chalice.
The event was believed to have occurred before the couple famously wed in Portofino, Italy, on May 22. At the lavish ceremony, the pair were surrounded by their friends and family following a 'practice wedding' at a Las Vegas wedding chapel after the 64th Annual Grammy Awards in April.
May 22, 2022: Kourtney Kardashian marries Travis Barker
Kourtney Kardashian married Travis Barker for the third time and final time on Sunday May 22, this time on the Italian Riviera coastline in Portofino.
The couple exchanged vows during a romantic ceremony at Dolce & Gabbana's L'Ulivetta villa, before enjoying a reception at the medieval castle Castello Brown.
Kardashian and Barker first wed in an unofficial, intimate Las Vegas wedding in April 2022 following the 64th Annual Grammy Awards, and later tied the knot legally in May. TMZ previously reported then-newlyweds' second wedding on May 15 took place in Santa Barbara, California. The pair were photographed together at the city's downtown courthouse following their marriage.
Kardashian and the Blink-182 drummer were joined at their nuptials by an A-list guest list, including the Kardashian-Jenner family, of course, and the likes of engaged couple Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly. Kourtney's children, Mason, Penelope and Reign, were also present, after Kardashian admitted to regretting not having them at her and Barker's engagement in a recent episode of The Kardashians.
Some guests reportedly opted to walk up the steps from the garden where the couple exchanged vows to reach the castle terrace where the reception proceedings unfolded.
The couple, mother of the bride Kris Jenner and Kourtney's sister Kim, however, decided to step back down onto the private jetty and board one of the Riva speedboats to be transported back to the Portofino harbour.
Upon arrival at the harbour, dressed in their wedding garb, the foursome walked for around 100m to a tunnel entrance in the hillside, accessing a private lift to enter the castle.
May 9, 2022: Kourtney Kardashian gives a promising update on her IVF journey
Kardashian, who's currently undergoing IVF, was seemingly closer to welcoming a baby with Barker, as revealed during her discussion on an episode of The Kardashians.
The Poosh founder, who's already a mum-of-three, said: 'We are super excited because it's the first time we have made it to an egg retrieval in six months of doing fertility treatments.'
She referred to the experience as a 'blessing', adding that 'the last two times we tried, we weren't able to get to this phase'.
The episode showed her and Barker later meeting with a fertility doctor who explained to Kardashian that she has one promising ovarian follicle they could use during the process.
'We have many good babies from one good follicle,' the doctor told Kardashian and Barker.
'So hopefully it'll be high quality and [result in] a normal embryo.'
Kardashian replied: 'Even though there's only one follicle that Dr. Wood is really seeing that's standing out, the fact that we even have [one] gives me a lot of hope.'
As for Barker, he enthused: 'It's the most exciting thing ever. I'm so happy.
'Family is everything to us. To be able to make something together would be just incredible.'
The eldest Kardashian sister said in a confessional that she 'loves being a mum' and is looking forward to her parenting journey with Barker.
She said: 'I know he's a really, really amazing father. It's one of the reasons that I fell in love with him.'
When it comes to next steps, Kardashian said: 'All we need is one good egg.
'Now it's just in God's hands.'
May 5, 2022: Kourtney Kardashian regrets not having her children at her engagement
While Kardashian and Barker's engagement at Rosewood Miramar Beach hotel in Montecito looked as though it couldn't have gone any better, the reality star recently admitted that she regrets not having her children there.
After Barker got down on one knee, she was brought to a hotel suite where she was joined by her loved ones, including her mum Kris, sisters Kim, Khloé, Kendall and Kylie and Travis' children Landon, 18, Alabama, 16, and Atiana, 23.
As shown on a recent episode of their new Hulu show The Kardashians, the stars were all waiting to celebrate the happy news with the couple, but only her kids - Mason, 12, Penelope, 10, and Reign, seven, who she shares with ex Scott Disick - were missing.
Kardashian said: 'I do wish that my kids were here. I think it would've made them feel more included in the decision and part of the surprise.'
While emotional, she added: 'I know that my mum made that decision, and it probably wasn't her best.'
Ahead of the proposal, the topic was discussed with Kardashian's family, at which point Kris Jenner said: 'Listen, for us to have to lie to Scott and get them here under false pretences would've been really hard for all of us.
'So you know what? This is the right thing to do ... that's the way I feel about it.'
While convinced, Khloé aired her concerns, saying: 'I don't know what to say to Scott. I'm so scared 'cause he's gonna call me and yell at me.'
After Kardashian and Barker shared the news with his father over FaceTime, Kardashian asked the group: 'How do I tell my kids? I feel like I need to tell them now.'
The mum-of-three later realised she missed calls from her daughter Penelope and got up from the table to FaceTime her, telling her about the proposal with Kim by her side.
She asked Penelope: 'Do you want to know what my surprise was?' before announcing, 'We got engaged!'
Penelope's face wasn't shown but she was heard crying, leading Kourtney to ask: 'Is that upsetting?'
Kim asked: 'Penelope! Why are you crying, baby?'
'I feel bad for P,' Kourtney said, adding: 'Penelope took it hard. I think it's a big change for her and even though she loves Travis, I think she doesn't know what that means.
'Is that taking me away? I think she doesn't know what it means.'
Reign sweetly asked Kourtney what getting engaged means, but after she explained that Barker proposed, he said: ' How exciting!'
Kourtney was unable to contact her son Mason during the episode so it's unknown how he reacted.
'Penelope is upset,' Khloé said at one point. 'They think they're losing their dad, I don't think they think they're losing their mum. They think their dad is gone and Travis is replacing him.
'When you're a kid, you think you have to pick one, so P's reaction is understandably okay. But there's nothing wrong with Travis. It's the same way we felt about [Caitlyn Jenner]. There was nothing wrong with [Caitlyn].'
Kourtney agreed, later saying: 'I think that it's really important for Scott to be accepting of our relationship so that the kids can feel good.'
Referring to Kendall asking about how empathetic she was Disick, she went on to say: 'I'm sensitive to him and his feelings, and I communicate with him about the kids, and I make sure he's good.
'But beyond that, I just got engaged and I wanna be happy and be in the moment, and I just don't think this moment is about Scott.'

While Kardashian's Met Gala outfit comprised of a deconstructed tailored look that appeared to be a riff on Barker's suit, for the after party, she opted for a glimmering houndstooth mini dress with a structured bodice. She finished the ensemble off with knife-pointed pumps.
Barker also looked glam donning a fringed crop top and billowy tasselled trousers.
When referring to her and Barker's Met Gala look, Kardashian wrote on Instagram: 'A massive thank you to @thombrowne for your vision. [sic]'
She continued: 'When I heard that Travis and I were the first couple you had dressed, how important it was to you that our story be told, for us to be an extension of each other, it meant so much to us. I love how I was the deconstructed version of his perfectly polished look.
'I had all of the elements from his look draped all over me. His pleated skirt, jacket and suit pants were dripping from my skirt. Thank you so much to the entire @thombrowne team for your kindness, patience and exquisite attention to detail.'

Several of the reality star's family members shared photos of the happy couple and the then bride-to-be's oval cut diamond engagement ring.
According to a representative at The Diamond Pro the diamond looks to be larger 15 carats in a pave or hidden halo setting.
'The style is clearly inspired by Blake Lively's stunner, though Blake's was more unique and valuable (having a pink diamond in the centre). I would estimate the value of Kourtney's ring at $1 million,' they added.
Meanwhile, diamond expert Anthony French at jewellery specialists Austen & Blake estimated the ring's cost is approximately £750,000.

The Instagram moment was reminiscent of Angelina Jolie and Billie Bob Thornton's marriage, from 2000 to 2003, during which they wore vials of each other's bloody around their neck.
In 2018, Thornton explained the vials to People, noting: 'The necklaces were a very simple thing, "Hey let's poke our fingers with a pen and smear a little blood on there and when we're away from each other we'll wear the necklace". It was that easy. But by the time it came out in the press it sounded like we were wearing a bucket of blood around our necks.'
May 26 2021: Kim Kardashian responds to Travis Barker affair claims
Kim Kardashian spoke out amid claims she had an affair with Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, who is currently in a relationship with her older sister Kourtney Kardashian.
In an interview with US Weekly in May 2021, Barker’s ex-wife Shanna Moakler claimed the reality star had been in a relationship with the musician during their marriage.
‘I divorced my ex because, I saw them — I caught them having an affair,’ Moakle, who divorced Barker in 2008, told the publication. ‘Someone sent me all their [text] conversations and I’m also close friends with people who were there, while things were happening.’
Moakler confirmed she was referring to the mother-of-four, who met Barker when she was working as Paris Hilton’s assistant in the early Noughties.
During a Q&A with her fans, the famous Kardashian star responded to the claims after a fan sent her a question which read: ‘Did you hook up with Travis Barker?’
‘NO! False narrative! We've been friends for years and I'm so happy for him and Kourt, [sic]’ she responded.
Barker reportedly wrote about his friendship with the SKIMS founder in his 2015 book, Can I Say: Living Large, Cheating Death, and Drums, Drums, Drums.
Referring to Kardashian as a ‘closet girl’, Barker wrote, according to US Weekly: ‘I kept on secretly checking out Kim, telling Lil Chris, “I don’t care if she’s the closet girl, she’s f–king hot”.
‘We went to dinner, we went to lunch. You might think I would be doing the worst things with this girl because of her tapes, but it was the exact opposite of any other encounter I’ve had with a woman: with Kim, I wanted to be nothing but a gentleman to her. It was so weird.’
Barker and Kourtney Kardashian confirmed their relationship in January and following that have shared several loved-up Instagram posts documenting their romance.

According to Cosmopolitan, when an Instagram user commented 'and her style begins to change', reportedly suggesting the mother of three's style is evolving to be more like her rocker boyfriend, Travis Barker, Kardashian replied by shutting down that query:
