Kourtney Kardashian, 44, and Travis Barker, 47, have been friends for years, as the two resided in Calabasas, California, long before it became a residential destination for other rich and famous folks. Over the years, they’ve enjoyed lunches in the western San Fernando Valley enclave, gone to church services together, and when they needed company, were the perfect hangout companions. They’re even workout buddies!
But the pair took their friendship to the next level in early 2021 and became Instagram official as a couple just after Valentine’s Day. After months of a PDA-filled romance, Travis and Kourtney took another big step in their relationship and got engaged in October 2021. Almost six months after getting engaged, Travis and Kourtney tied the knot in a Las Vegas wedding ceremony — followed by a legal ceremony in Santa Barbara on May 15, 2022. Their third wedding took place in Italy on May 22, 2022. Here’s a look at the timeline from Travis and Kourtney’s journey to romance, and now, husband and wife!

The longtime pair split in the summer of 2015. Before their demise, the former couple bought a new mansion in The Oaks in Feb. 2014 for $7.4 million, where Kourt and the kids still live.
