Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian were “training partners” before they fell in love

Travis Barker has revealed that he and Kourtney Kardashian Barker share a love of sports and wellness.

The couple began dating in 2020 after being friends for several years. They married in 2022. Now, the Blink 182 drummer has credited their shared love of fitness as the beginning of their relationship.

“That’s one of the main reasons we were so close,” Travis, 48, told People magazine. “We were always training together, running together, doing stuff like that before we even had a relationship – we were always training partners. That’s where it all started.”

The couple welcomed their son Rocky last November, and Travis believes that staying physically and mentally healthy has helped them both cope with the demands of parenthood.

“We do Pilates together and take half an hour or an hour every day to go out,” he said.

He also starts his day by “going for a 30-minute walk while listening to an audiobook or podcast. And I do the same thing in the evening because I’ve always had trouble sleeping, especially after shows when I’m wired and hyper. I’ve just found that wellness and exercise are so important to everything I do.”

The couple also like to eat healthy. Travis revealed that Kourtney, 45, makes a “really good avocado shake” that he “just kind of tweaked a little bit and I made my own. We’re both really into wellness. I introduced her to matcha back in the day. She introduced me to certain foods.”

The couple follows a primarily vegan diet, with Kourtney “probably choosing a vegan diet 75 percent of the time.”

“It’s incredible to be with someone who loves wellness as much as I do,” he enthused.
