IT WAS her sister who first caught his eye – bootylicious Kim Kardashian, all creamy cleavage, waspish waist, and heavenly hips, was just his type.
“I love curvy girls. Kim was eye candy,” he recalled of his 2006 meeting with the reality show beauty. “I couldn’t keep my eyes off her.”
But Travis Barker has well and truly moved on from his crush and has eyes for one woman only: Kim’s big sister Kourtney.
The Blink-182 rocker and the eldest Kardashian sibling have been getting hot and heavy since their years-long acquaintance turned into something a lot steamier at the beginning of the year. Raunchy social media snaps often show the pair in matching punk-rock outfits, Travis baring his no-holds-barred neck and chest tattoos, Kourtney looking sleek, sexy and ever so smitten.
But Travis (45) and Kourt (42) aren’t all about glamming it up on Insta – they’re also not shy to share some heartfelt sentiments. Case in point: a recent post he made crediting his girlfriend for helping him conquer his fear of flying – a lifelong phobia exacerbated by a plane crash he was in 13 years ago.
Travis shared a picture of him and Kourtney in front of her sister Kylie Jenner’s private jet. “With you, anything is possible,” he wrote.
To which Kourt replied, “Anything and everything with you.”
Seems she might be just what the doctor ordered. Travis has been suffering from severe post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) since the crash of a private plane that he and long-time collaborator DJ AM had boarded after a gig in South Carolina.
