The new Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker relationship reports explained

Brace yourselves, Kardashian fans! New reports came out this past weekend that claim Kourtney Kardashian is off the market. And no, she hasn’t reconciled with Scott Disick or Younes Bendjima. Instead, word is that she’s taken a long-time flirtationship to the next level. Let’s break down what sources are saying.

According to E! News, Kourtney is dating family friend Travis Barker, best known as being the drummer of Blink-182 as well as being a very talented musician who has collaborated with many big stars. I know what you’re probably thinking–rumors of these two having a romantic relationship have swirled for years now. Apparently, however, now is the real deal. And with multiple reputable publications breaking the news, we should at least consider this a very real possibility.

Are Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker dating?

For starters, a source told E! News of Kourt and Travis’ new romance:

"It’s been very low-key. They are a really good match, and Kourtney’s entire family already loves Travis. They have been neighbors and great friends for years, and it just recently turned romantic."

Low-key or not, I’m sure all eyes are on the two stars right about now. An insider also spoke to Us Weekly about the pair, telling the site:

"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."

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker have indeed been very close friends for years now, which is pretty understandable considering they’re neighbors. The two have been spotted out together previously, sparking multiple instances of romance rumors. It might’ve taken them a little while, but it looks like they could be officially exploring any feelings they have for each other!

As E! News also reported, fans discovered the two were spending time together at Kris Jenner’s Palm Springs house on January 23. Though they didn’t pose for photos together, they posted similar shots to Instagram. They’re seemingly still in the sneaking-around stage, but I’m sure it’ll only be a matter of time before the truth comes out. That is, of course, if they’re really an item.
