Travis Barker Tried To Win Kourtney Over 15 Years Ago With Grand Gesture

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker have been revelling in their seemingly happy relationship, having kept fans updated with the likes of gushy Instagram posts and PDA-filled moments on new reality series The Kardashians.

But it turns out that the Blink-182 drummer has been vying for the reality star’s affections for quite some time - a whopping 15 years, to be exact. 

In fact, Travis was so head-over-heels for his current fiancée that he admitted moving to Calabasas, California, all that time ago, before they even started dating, just to be closer to her.

The musician-turned-entrepreneur even had the guts to admit this to his mother-in-law Kris Jenner, telling her that he moved into a home just a short distance away from Kourtney, believing that she was ‘the one’. 

“Do you want to know the real reason why he moved to Calabasas?” Kris asked Kourtney on the fifth episode of the Disney+ series.

“He said, 'Because I knew she lived in Calabasas, and I knew she was the love of my life, and I didn't even know her like that, but I just knew if I couldn't date her or be with her because she was with someone else that at least I could live by her.’”

Kourtney took a moment after hearing what her fiancé told her mum, before later saying: "I've never met a better human in my life, like, the thoughtfulness and just everything."

Elsewhere in the series, fans were divided as Kourtney and Travis put on quite the display of love in front of a heartbroken Scott Disick. And it was awkward, to say the least.

After complaining time and time again that he was being excluded from the family, Scott was finally included on the guest list for Kris’ birthday dinner on the show.

However, what was waiting for Kourtney’s ex-partner was a rather full-on show of PDA, before the family even sat down for dinner. You can read more on that here.
