Travis Barker and Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum Kourtney Kardashian are seemingly copying aspects of his past marriage to Shanna Moakler. Since going public earlier this year, Travis and Kourtney have teased aspects of their relationship that echo his marriage with his first wife. Shanna has openly spoken out against the couple. With Travis and Kourtney being bigger names in Hollywood, her claims of them copying her time with Travis often get overlooked. After Travis and Kourtney donned a couple’s costume inspired by the movie True Romance, fans speculated that the pair were taking subliminal digs at Shanna.
Shanna has stopped speaking out publicly against Travis and Kourtney, after spending months locked in a bitter feud with her ex-husband. Shanna already had pre-existing issues with the Kardashians over her claim that Travis cheated on her with Kim Kardashian while they were still married. Kim denied the claims, but Shanna has never recanted her statements about the alleged affair. In addition to the cheating rumors, Shanna believes Travis and Kourtney have made odd references to the same movie she and Travis modeled their marriage after. Shanna and Travis referenced his favorite film (True Romance) and even named their daughter Alabama after the film’s female lead.
Most recently, Travis and Kourtney took their referencing of the movie to new levels. They dressed up as the two main characters for Halloween. Kourtney shared photos showing how she and Travis, who seems to like shading Shanna, had fun portraying characters from his favorite movie. Fans couldn’t help but notice how the couple continue to reference the same movie that he and Shanna loved. Since Travis has a passion for the movie, his new references may be homages that don’t relate to who he’s involved with. However, Kourtney is a high-profile celebrity, and fans are taking notice.
In addition to the movie references, Travis also has a number of tattoos that celebrate Kourtney. He used to get tattoos that honored his ex-wife, Shanna. Since he started dating Kourtney, Travis has gotten her name tattooed across his chest. He also got a tattoo of her lips, and once allowed the Poosh founder to ink him up. Shanna has blasted Travis for covering up tattoos of her name while Kourtney “lovingly looked on.” In response, Shanna covered up her Travis tats and even considered auctioning off her old weddings rings.
Shanna has been silent about Kourtney and Travis’s engagement. She took a short social media hiatus when the news broke. She reportedly felt hurt when she saw her two kids at their dad’s engagement party. However, the former Playboy model has been estranged from her kids for some time. One of her teenage children even accused her of neglect on social media. As her ex-husband prepares to marry the Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum, Shanna will have to get used to Travis referencing aspects of their past marriage.
