Internet reacts: Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker are Instagram official

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker first signaled their romance to the world with a simple hand-holding photo on Instagram, and the moment quickly became the start of a very public chapter. On a Tuesday in early 2021, Kourtney posted a close-up of their fingers laced together in a car. Travis shared the same image on his story and tagged her, turning a private connection into an official debut.

Be my Valentine

By the end of January 2021, Us Weekly reported that years of friendship had shifted into something more. A source described Travis as smitten, while another noted Kourtney admired how involved he was as a father. The pair appeared to spend Valentine’s Day together, posting stories of the same fireplace. Their blended families at the time included Landon and Alabama with Travis’s ex Shanna Moakler, and Mason, Penelope, and Reign with Kourtney’s ex Scott Disick. Those children are now older, and the couple added son Rocky in November 2023 after marrying in 2022. In February 2026, Kourtney shared family moments that included Rocky, showing the same steady public presence that began with that first Instagram post.

Shoutout to my ex

Scott Disick confirmed his relationship with Amelia Gray Hamlin around the same weekend. The two posted photos from a Miami trip that featured roses and a boat ride. Reports tied their connection to Kendall Jenner’s birthday party the previous fall. Kourtney liked a post about knowing one’s worth without the right partner. The relationship between Scott and Amelia ended in September 2021, with Amelia initiating the split. Scott has dated others since.

From Instagram Official to Married with Rocky

The 2021 hand-holding photo marked the public start. Three ceremonies followed in 2022: one in Las Vegas, one in Santa Barbara, and one in Italy. Rocky Thirteen Barker arrived in November 2023. The blended family now includes seven children across both parents’ prior relationships plus their son together. Public posts continue to document family life into 2026.

Scott Disick's Post-Amelia Relationship Path

After the 2021 split with Amelia Gray Hamlin, Scott continued to appear at family events and with his children. He has maintained a steady presence as a co-parent while keeping later relationships lower profile. The earlier Miami trip and public confirmation with Amelia now sit as a closed chapter from that period.

The Kardashians on Hulu: Continuing the Story

KUWTK concluded after season 20 in 2021. The family story moved to the Hulu series The Kardashians, which has covered relationship shifts and blended family routines. Speculation at the time about possible reconciliation between Kourtney and Scott did not play out on the original show or afterward.

Travis Barker's Wellness and Documentary Spotlight

Travis has expanded beyond music into fitness and wellness through Barker Wellness products. He continues performing with Blink-182. In June 2026, his documentary Travis Barker: Louder Than Fear premiered at Tribeca, offering a closer look at recovery and daily life. These projects sit alongside the family milestones that began with the 2021 Instagram confirmation.

Drama, drama, and more drama

At the time, some wondered if Kourtney’s post was timed in response to Scott’s Miami trip. A KUWTK clip from season 20 showed Kourtney and Scott appearing close again, which fueled talk of possible reconciliation. The season ended without that outcome. Both later moved into separate long-term situations, with Kourtney marrying Travis and Scott dating others after Amelia. The original speculation stayed on the show and did not extend into later seasons or the Hulu series.
