A Trio of Ceremonies: Inside the Kravis Weddings
The marriage of Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker was not a single event but a dramatic, multi-part saga that unfolded over several weeks in the spring of 2022. This three-part wedding structure perfectly encapsulated their spontaneous and over-the-top public persona.
1. The Las Vegas 'Practice' Elopement (April 4, 2022)
The first ceremony was an impromptu, non-legal elopement that took place in the early morning hours following the 2022 Grammy Awards. The couple, dressed in leather jackets, arrived at the One Love Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas at 2:00 a.m. The ceremony was performed by an Elvis impersonator, and while it was a celebratory moment, it was not legally binding as they did not have a marriage license at the time. Kourtney later referred to it as a "practice" wedding, setting the stage for the more formal events to come.
2. The Legal Santa Barbara Courthouse Wedding (May 15, 2022)
To officially and legally become husband and wife, Kourtney and Travis held a small, intimate ceremony at a courthouse in Santa Barbara, California. This was the official, legal union, attended only by a few close family members, including Kourtney’s grandmother, Mary Jo "MJ" Campbell, and Travis’s father, Randy Barker. This understated, private event was a stark contrast to their first "practice" run and the lavish celebration that followed, emphasizing the personal significance of their commitment.
3. The Lavish Italian Nuptials in Portofino (Late May 2022)
The third and final wedding was a spectacular, opulent affair held in Portofino, Italy, a week after their legal ceremony. The celebration was hosted by Dolce & Gabbana at a seaside castle, Castello Brown, and was attended by their full circle of family and A-list friends, including the entire Kardashian-Jenner clan. The theme of the wedding was gothic romance, with Kourtney wearing a series of stunning Dolce & Gabbana gowns and a dramatic, hand-embroidered veil featuring a rendition of the Virgin Mary, a nod to one of Travis's tattoos. The Italian wedding was the public, televised spectacle that fans and media had anticipated, featuring a fresh pasta bar and a dramatic, romantic atmosphere.
The Blended Family and The Newest Addition: Rocky Thirteen
The marriage of Kourtney and Travis created one of the most prominent blended families in Hollywood, often referred to as a "mega-family." Kourtney shares three children—Mason, Penelope, and Reign Disick—with her ex-partner, Scott Disick, while Travis shares Landon and Alabama with his ex-wife, Shanna Moakler. The two families, who were already neighbors and friends, have seamlessly integrated, with the children often featuring together on social media and the family's reality show.
The couple’s journey to have a child together was openly documented on The Kardashians, detailing their struggles with IVF and the emotional toll of the process. This public vulnerability resonated with many fans struggling with fertility issues.
In a joyous announcement, the couple revealed they were expecting, and on November 1, 2023, Kourtney gave birth to their first child together, a son. The baby's unique and memorable name was later confirmed via the birth certificate: Rocky Thirteen Barker. The name is a nod to Travis’s love for rock music and the number 13, which he considers lucky, further solidifying their unique, rock-and-roll family identity.
The Current State of the 'Impulsive' Marriage in 2025
In the most recent seasons of The Kardashians, Kourtney has been candid about the realities of her marriage to the Blink-182 drummer, providing a fresh and relatable perspective that moves beyond the initial "honeymoon phase." She has openly discussed the "struggle" of balancing their highly successful careers, managing their large blended family, and navigating their individual personalities.
Kourtney has specifically mentioned that Travis is "impulsive," which can lead to clashes in their day-to-day life. While this spontaneity is what she loves about him and what drove their quick, passionate romance, it also presents challenges when trying to maintain structure and routine for their seven children and their respective business ventures, such as Kourtney's wellness brand, Poosh. Despite these documented marital struggles, the couple remains committed, often sharing loved-up photos from family trips to Italy and supporting each other's professional endeavors, proving that even a fairytale rock-and-roll romance requires work and communication.
Their relationship is a continuous narrative of passion, family, and the blending of two very different worlds. As of late 2025, Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker are firmly established as one of the most compelling power couples in entertainment, with their son, Rocky Thirteen, at the center of their punk-rock, Kardashian-style universe.
