Kourtney Kardashian fans think she’s been dating Travis Barker for a lot longer than she’s letting on. The couple started out as friends. They were involved in the same friend group for years, but they never became romantic until recently. In the past year, they decided to go public with their love.

However, fans think they’ve been hiding their relationship for a while. Prior to Travis, Kourtney was linked to Justin Bieber, Younes Bendjima, and Luka Sabbat. Kourtney and Travis got engaged in October 2021. The former pals are so comfortable with one another that fans think they’ve been dating for many years.

Is Kourtney Kardashian leading fans on?

Kourtney Kardashian fans think she’s been dating Travis Barker for many years before they went public with their relationship. The Kardashians star was first linked to the Blink-182 drummer last year. Since then, the two have been inseparable. Kourtney and Travis confirmed their relationship in February 2021.

Before their romance blossomed, they were neighbors and friends. The musician previously appeared on several episodes of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. He also made an appearance on the Season 14 holiday special A Very Kardashian Holiday. Yet, fans wonder if the two have been together longer.

A clip from the KUWTK holiday special surfaced on Reddit. It shows Travis making gingerbread houses with Kourtney Kardashian’s family and her three kids. She shares Mason, 12, Penelope, 9, and Reign, 7, with her ex-boyfriend Scott Disick. The two were in each other’s orbit for many years until their relationship ended for good in 2016.

Travis is the father to son Landon, 18, and daughter Alabama, 16, which he shares with his ex-wife Shanna Moakler. In the clip, Travis explained to Kourtney Kardashian about his kids’ homeschool routine. She revealed in her confessional that “his kids and my kids are really good friends.” Many fans took to the Reddit thread to speculate about how long the two have been dating.

Dating Travis Barker for years?

Some Kourtney Kardashian fans think she was secretly dating him for years. A few were shocked to learn that they knew each other for so long. Other fans wonder when they started having sparks between them. Maybe they realized there was something between them a long time ago.

• “I thought Travis was just a random dude at the time. So I wonder how long they secretly had a thing.”
• “I’m dying to know what happened for them to go from friends to lovers- was it one instance/getting closer gradually or what?!”
• “Was it a drunk kiss? Was it just a bunch of tiny moments? Was there always a spark?”

Fans think the two kept their relationship on the down-low for years. Amid the theories, the two continue to show off their red-hot romance on social media. They have no problem with sharing their public displays of affection. Kourtney Kardashian will be sharing more about their relationship on her family’s new Hulu series.
