Kim Kardashian Finally Clears the Air About Those Travis Barker Rumors
Kim K is officially setting the record straight — no, she never hooked up with Travis Barker.
On the latest episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast (Oct. 15), the SKIMS founder shut down the long-standing rumors that she and the blink-182 drummer were ever a thing before he married her sister, Kourtney Kardashian, in 2022.
“No, I never have,” Kim said flat-out. She added that it “really sucks” that people keep pushing that narrative, especially now that he’s part of the family. “He dated Paris [Hilton] and we were all friends. We’d hang out and go to their tour in Amsterdam. So I’ve been friends with him, but never in that way — and never hooked up with him.”
For some context — back in the early 2000s, Barker was linked to Kim’s longtime bestie Paris Hilton, and that’s how the two first met. According to Kim, their friendship was strictly platonic and stayed that way. “Kourtney was around during that time, they were neighbors for a decade,” she said. “He was always around with his kids, they’d come to Kourtney’s house for birthdays. Everything was super open and cool.”
Even Barker himself backed that up in his 2015 memoir Can I Say, where he admitted he once had a crush on Kim but said they never crossed that line.
So yeah — no secret Kardashian-Barker fling, no hidden family drama. Just a very public rumor finally put to rest. 🫶
