The apparent happiness in Kourtney Kardashian’s marriage to Travis Barker has faced a major setback, as recent rumors suggest that Travis has filed for divorce and is seeking custody of their son. According to these reports, Travis is concerned about Kourtney’s mother, Kris Jenner’s, extensive involvement in their family affairs. He believes her prioritization of fame and fortune could be detrimental to their son’s well-being. Travis’s concerns stem from Kris Jenner’s management of her family’s lives and careers, often putting their public image above personal well-being.

Travis fears this could negatively impact their son, citing examples such as Rob Kardashian’s struggles under Kris’s influence. Kourtney, previously seen as the stable and content Kardashian sister, now faces the prospect of being single again if these rumors hold true. Their romance, which initially flourished and gained public attention, culminated in Travis proposing to Kourtney on a beach in Montecito, California, in October 2021, less than a year after they began dating.

Despite initial hesitations from Kourtney’s children, their families blended well, forming strong bonds through memorable events like weddings, a pregnancy announcement, and the birth of their son, Rocky, in November 2023. Kourtney visibly seemed happier and more radiant since being with Travis. However, rumors of Travis’s history of infidelity began to strain their relationship. Aware of his past issues with monogamy, including public admissions of cheating in previous marriages, Kourtney faced growing cracks in their relationship.

Additionally, Travis had previously admitted to being unfaithful from the beginning of his first marriage to Melissa Kennedy. Even before publicly confirming his relationship with Kourtney, he expressed reservations about monogamy, citing a preference for independence and reluctance to commit. Further complicating matters, Travis’s ex-wife Shanna Moakler alleged that he had an affair with Kim Kardashian, contributing to their divorce. When rumors about Kim and Travis’s past relationship resurfaced after the birth of their child, Kourtney struggled to fully trust him.

The situation escalated when Kim acknowledged having an affair with Travis while he was still with Shanna. According to Kim, their involvement lacked love, sparking a heated confrontation during which Kourtney reportedly attempted to confront Kim physically. This led to further strain in Kourtney’s marriage, prompting her to take some time to reflect on the situation before proceeding with the divorce.

Despite their attempts at reconciliation, their conversation turned into an argument, with Kourtney tentatively suggesting they break up due to their constant fighting. To her surprise, Travis agreed, proposing they file for divorce. Insiders later revealed that Travis apologized, explaining he was exhausted by ongoing arguments involving Kim. The friction wasn’t new, as Kim’s persistent interference had long strained their marriage. Allegedly, the Kardashian-Jenner family’s tolerance of Kim’s behavior towards Kourtney stems from Kris’s favoritism towards Kim.

This ongoing conflict has highlighted the strained relationship between Kourtney and her mother. Kris, apparently aware of Kim and Travis’s romance, chose to remain silent to avoid hurting Kourtney, inadvertently causing more pain and distrust within the family. Kourtney revealed that despite Travis’s repeated denials of an affair with Kim, she had been troubled by Travis’s past crushes on Kim since the beginning.

Kourtney’s constant vigilance, especially during family gatherings, made her uneasy about their connection, particularly when they were alone together. Fearing they might rekindle their romance, Kourtney mentioned Travis was often unreachable during his tours, causing her significant stress and anxiety at home. Insiders noted this as a major source of friction in their marriage.

In recent months, Kourtney made efforts to keep Travis close, but he continued to distance himself despite her attempts. However, after a heartfelt conversation, things seemed to improve, and they decided to give each other space to rediscover their love. Despite these efforts, the recent drama has reignited tensions, leaving fans speculating about the future of Kourtney and Travis’s relationship.
