"She enjoys a lot of family time and work very much comes second," the insider notes before adding, "She seems calmer, much happier, and content with life. Travis is amazing. He treats Kourtney like a queen. They talk about growing old together—it’s very cute!"
Love their love!

They are so thrilled and can’t wait to experience this pregnancy together, bring a baby into the world as a unit, and expand and grow their families.”
April 13, 2023
Kourt and Travis share an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at their weddings in the Hulu special ’Til Death Do Us Part Kourtney & Travis. During one moment, we even get an inside look at the night the two got married in Vegas. Turns out, the Elvis impersonator who officiated the wedding messed up Kourtney’s name and told Travis to say, “I, Travis, take you, Khloé, to be my wife.” In response, Kourtney fell to the ground and laughed, saying, “I’m gonna cry. Wait, we need to FaceTime Khloé, we need to FaceTime her. She’s gonna literally die.”
The couple also open up about their wedding in Italy, including how mom Kris Jenner gave Kourtney her wedding ring from late husband Robert Kardashian. “When my dad died, I remember thinking I never want to get married because my dad isn’t there to walk me down the aisle,” the eldest Kardashian explains. “So that gift meant so much.” I’m not crying, you are!
April 4, 2023
The duo celebrate the first anniversary of the time they did that whole wedding in Vegas thing right after they attended the 2022 Grammy Awards and had “too much tequila,” according to the reality star.
“It was one of the best nights of our lives, dreaming of a lifetime filled with fun adventures together. And yes, that’s me about to throw up on the floor in the car,” reads the caption in part.
In the comments, the drummer responds and writes, “Kourtney you’re my hunk a hunk burning love. ❤️🔥” S’cute!

“Oh, what a scary and emotional week it has been,” Kourtney said in her statement. “Our health is everything and sometimes we take for granted how quickly it can change. Travis and I went in for a routine endoscopy together and he ended up with severe, life-threatening pancreatitis. I am so grateful to God for healing my husband, for all of your prayers for him and for us, for the overwhelming outpouring of love and support. I am so touched and appreciative. I am so thankful to our specialists, doctors, and nurses at Cedars Sinai for taking such wonderful care of my husband and me during our stay.”
Kourtney also sent a message to paparazzi who sold old photos and tried to pass them off as current during Travis’s hospitalization. “And to the paparazzi who sold pictures of me ‘out and about’ while my husband was in the hospital fighting for his life…these were photos actually taken weeks ago (I can’t even remember the last time I wore that sweatsuit in the photos)…I didn’t forget about you,” she said. “A new level of low, monetizing off of our nightmare. Really savagely uncool when I actually didn’t leave his side…shame on you.”

Being engaged and *almost* married has not done anything to cool off Kourtney and Travis’s red-hot PDA. Case in point: In early March, TMZ published pics of a very steamy and *very* public make-out sesh Kourt and Travis enjoyed (whilst rolling around in the sand, no less) in Laguna Beach, California. The PDA was so intense, in fact, that a family that was also hanging out on the beach at the time actually reportedly asked them to cool it (which Kourtney and Travis did—by hopping in the ocean to continue enjoying their love bubble).

June 9, 2021
Kourt’s on the fence about getting engaged right now, but the good news? It’s “likely” a possibility, a source detailed to Entertainment Tonight.
ET’s source says, “Kourtney and Travis really recognize now more than ever how special their relationship is and how fortunate they are to spend their time together whether it’s just the two of them, with friends, or with their families. They could also definitely see themselves ending up together one day and it’s really whatever makes Kourtney happy.” More than anything, they’re “just living in the moment and enjoying each day.”
And even better news: “Building a future together in a more permanent respect could likely happen,” that source adds.
June 8, 2021
Kourtney casually posts a vial of Travis’s blood on Instagram. Yes, it’s a little disturbing!
May 13, 2021
More engagement updates about Kourtney and Travis start rolling in—and it turns out that it’s a little more complicated than Travis just popping the question.
A source tells Entertainment Tonight that “getting engaged and married one day has definitely been a topic of conversation between Kourtney and Travis. Travis would absolutely love to tie the knot with Kourtney, but Kourtney hasn’t been sure that’s the step she wants to take in their relationship right now. She is extraordinarily happy and doesn’t feel the need or want the pressure of getting married.”
Per ET’s source, Kourtney’s a little hesitant because “there are a lot of other factors that concern her” if she and Travis marry, “one of them being Scott [Disick] and, more importantly, her kids and what that adjustment would mean for them. It could be a lot to process, even though everyone sees that Kourtney is undeniably in love with Travis. Kourtney sees herself loving this moment and is just taking everything one day at a time and enjoying their time together.”
The source does make a point to say that Kourt’s hesitation has nothing to do with how she actually feels about Travis. For the record, “Travis makes Kourtney laugh uncontrollably and she loves that he always brings a smile to her face. She also really loves that Travis is such a great, hands-on dad. Travis loves that Kourtney has such an entrepreneurial spirit and that she is a strong, independent mom. They feel like they’re the perfect match.”
As for how things are going between Kourt and Scott? Yeah…an E! News source says, “Scott and Kourtney have a tense relationship right now primarily because he’s been focusing on his new life in Miami and because of Kourtney getting serious with Travis. They are barely speaking. It’s hard for him to see Kourtney in love with someone else.”
May 12, 2021
How are the Kardashians reacting to Kourtney and Travis’s love parade, you ask? Welp, “Kourtney’s family is happy for her, but they’re also in a little bit of shock because they’ve never seen her like this before,” according to Entertainment Tonight. Honestly? Same!
And it doesn’t seem like the two have plans to stop anytime either. “They’re so in love and constantly fawning over one another,” ET’s source says. “They have such a strong connection and can’t get enough of each other.”
“Travis makes Kourtney feel so special and he is always showing her how much he loves her and how important she is to him,” the source continues. “Kourtney has been extremely loving toward him as well and has also been making a big effort to show how much she cares.”
Speaking of loving, Kourt actually tattoos the words “I love you” on Travis’s arm. You know, just in case he wasn’t 100 percent sure:
May 5, 2021
Welp, don’t be surprised if Kourt and Trav start sporting bling on that finger soon, because a source tells Entertainment Tonight that “Kourtney and Travis are in love and have talked about their future and the possibility of getting engaged and married. Kourtney hasn’t felt this strongly about anyone in a while and can see a forever with Travis.”
The fact that their families adore each other also helps a possible marriage along quite nicely. “Although the couple hasn’t been together for a while, they’ve known each other for years and have a strong connection,” the source continues. “Kourtney’s family hasn’t seen her this happy in a while and they love Travis. The couple’s kids get along great and that has made things much easier for them.”
April 27, 2021
Kourtney and Travis go on vacation YET AGAIN (seriously, does the concept of a pandemic even exist to them?), this time to Utah’s Amangiri resort in Canyon Point. To mark the occasion, Kourt posts a pic of her and Travis engaging in their raunchiest PDA to date:
But wait! That’s not all—Travis is also overcome with the vacation feels and raises Kourt’s already raunchy post with a photo set with snaps and video from their stay, which just so happens to include Travis casually resting his hand on Kourtney’s butt:
April 18, 2021
It’s Kourtney’s birthday!!! And truly no one’s Instagram feed is safe because Travis posts the sappiest b-day tribute to her—a picture set that casually happens to include a video of Kourt sucking on his actual thumb (can’t believe I had to type that, wow). Yes, really:
And since Travis just loves spoiling his best girl, he also got Kourt a massive flower bouquet of gardenias and tulips—I’m jelly!
“Travis often spoils her and he gave her the most amazing, beautiful flower arrangement for her birthday,” a source tells People of the gift. “They are celebrating with her family today.”
“Kourtney still seems very happy with Travis. He is very into her,” the source adds. “He constantly gives her compliments and attention. You can tell he is thrilled to be dating her. Kourtney is soaking it all up and enjoying life.” Cool, guess engagement is imminent!
April 11, 2021

Meanwhile, Kourtney and Travis are being hella horny on Instagram. Kourt posts a very 👀 photo with the caption, “Watchin’ movies, but we ain’t seen a thing tonight.” Aka lyrics from Ariana Grande’s sexually charged bop “34+35.”
Then Travis posts this in response:
I’d tell these two to get a room, but looks like they already have!

March 2, 2021
An Entertainment Tonight source gets Scott Disick’s POV on how he’s feeling about Kourtney and Travis’s relationship. In short: Scott is chilling and doesn’t think Kourtney will be pushing him out of her life anytime soon.
“Scott knows he always has a special place in Kourtney’s heart and that he can’t ever be replaced and will always be in the picture since he’s the father of their children,” the source says. “He isn’t threatened by Kourtney and Travis’s relationship at this point.”
February 20, 2021

Kourtney and Travis go out for dinner in Los Angeles, and they pack on the cutest PDA. Lucky for us, an E! News source dishes all the adorable details of their outing.
“They seemed completely taken with one another as if they were the only two people in the world,” the source says. “They seem very connected, very close. Travis took her hand and they giggled as they started having a little thumb war with one another. It was playful and sweet. They were talking constantly and very engaged in one another. It seems like such a natural fit, being that they have been friends for so long. There was no awkwardness.”
Yep, too cute not to ship.
February 2, 2021
Kourt reveals that someone in her life went through the trouble of cropping her bikini-clad bod into a lock-screen photo. And although it’s pretty believable that Kourt would have her own bod as her lock screen (shoot, I def would if my abs looked that good), she makes a point to note, “P.S. This lock screen does not belong to me.”
Podcast account @NotSkinnyButNotFat is the first to make the Travis connection here, theorizing that it’s actually his lock screen (which checks out, TBH):
January 24, 2021

Travis is very smitten with Kourtney and has been for a while.”
Yeah, and about those poolside Palm Springs pictures (try saying that five times fast)? “They’re in Palm Springs together. They’ve been dating for about a month or two,” a separate source tells People. “They’ve been friends for a long time but it’s turned romantic.”
January 23, 2021
Fans of Travis and Kourtney notice that their faves’ Instagram activity looks kiiinda sus. Kourt posts this picture of the poolside view from Kris Jenner’s home in Palm Springs:

March 14, 2019
By mid-March of 2019, the dating speculation was getting enough traction that Travis was asked about it on the red carpet at the 2019 iHeartRadio Music Awards.
“Kourtney’s like a dear friend. That’s it,” he said. “I mean, I love her to death. I love her family to death. But yeah, just friends.”
March 5, 2019
Within a couple of weeks of their Nobu Malibu dinner, romance rumors were a ~thing~. RadarOnline reported that even though Kourtney and Travis publicly claimed to be just friends, “something more” was developing IRL.
“Ever since Kourt has been single, they’ve gotten closer and closer—to the point where he sneakily stays at her place now,” a source told the site.
The Radar report claimed that Travis had “always” been interested in Kourtney and that she was finally “really falling for him” too.
“Their friendship is definitely turning romantic, which has taken her by surprise,” an “insider” explained.
February 17, 2019
A few months later, Kourtney and Travis made headlines again when they went to dinner together (and with some other ppl) at Nobu in Malibu.
“They had dinner at Nobu with the kids because they are friendly. It was a family dinner. They’ve been friends for years. They’ve lived in the same neighborhood for a long time and they see each other at church and with their kids,” a source told E! News at the time. “They’ve hung out together many times and often get together with the kids to see movies or to get ice cream. They always have fun together. He’s a nice guy and their kids really get along well. Kourtney has his kids over for playdates and vice versa.”
At the time, the E! source described their relationship in very platonic terms, saying, “They have a really nice friendship.”
September 19, 2018
In September 2018, the first inklings of a potential romance between Kourtney and Travis hit the internet when they were both spotted having dinner at vegan restaurant Crossroads Kitchen in Los Angeles. According to a report from Metro at the time, the sighting came just a month after Travis was rumored to have slid into Kourt’s DMs.
According to Metro’s report, Kourtney and Travis sipped matcha teas together and then Travis “proved to be a true gentleman” when he walked her to her car, where they talked for a while before finally saying goodnight. The Metro article also says Kourtney “shared a telling Instagram Story of what appeared to be Travis’s tattooed hand playing with a miniature fake hand” and then “stroked the rocker showing just how comfortable she was with her companion.” Eyebrows. Raised.
October 20, 2015
Travis confesses that he definitely had a crush on Kourtney’s younger sister Kim Kardashian back in 2006. Despite dating Kim’s employer—hotel heiress Paris Hilton—Travis says he couldn’t keep his eyes off her (which is kinda awk now, LOL).
“How could you not stare at Kim? Mind you, I enjoyed hanging out with Paris, but I love curvy girls,” he tells Us Weekly at the time. “Kim was eye candy. I was in no way disrespectful to Paris, but I couldn’t keep my eyes off Kim!”
“I had a crush on her and we were flirtatious but nothing ever happened,” Travis adds. “I don’t know! She was so kind and polite, I just felt like being a perfect gentleman around her. It was a trip!”
And not to alarm you or anything, but Travis is pretty much the reason Keeping Up With the Kardashians is a thing. In 2005, Travis’s own reality show, Meet the Barkers, was on television, which is why Kim hit him up for advice.
“Kim was like, ‘I really want to do this reality show. We’re supposed to do it with Ryan Seacrest. I just think my family’s interesting,’” Travis recalls. “I gave her the best advice I could but I still remember the conversation like yesterday: ‘I think my family is interesting and it could be something.’ Well, you were absolutely right!” Travis and Kim remain close throughout the aughts, and he becomes super close to the rest of the fam since they all live in Calabasas, California. And the rest, as they say, is history.
