It really is the relationship that just keeps on giving, the pair cementing their romance with not one, not two but THREE weddings in 2022.
Surrounded by family and friends at a castle in Portofino, Italy, the couple said “I do” in their third and most lavish wedding on May 22.
By that time they’d already tied the knot with a surprise wedding in Las Vegas and a follow-up legal marriage in California, with Kourtney donning unique dresses for both occasions.
Naturally, the dramatic duo saved the best for last and treated family, friends and fans to their most opulent nuptials the third time round in Italy.

Looking back at a year of marriage (and their three wedding ceremonies), Kourtney revealed in an interview with Vogue US “They [the weddings] were all very different and very special to us. Vegas was unplanned and just extremely raw—all the footage was shot on an iPhone by Travis’s drummer tech and one his managers…We had too much tequila and were so in the moment—which was so fun.”
In honour of their relationship special, Kourtney also shared exclusive shots of the wedding.
Kourtney and Travis have been in a very full-on kind of love since early 2021, but how did they go from a surprise couple to husband and wife?
And how do they make the whole blended family thing work after Kourtney’s ill-fated romance to Scott Disick came to an end in 2015?
While the pair have a seemingly successful co-parenting relationship for their children Mason, Penelope, and Reign, Kardashian die-hards still hoped to see Kourtney happy and in love someday – and boy, did Travis deliver.
From the first Instagram pic of their hands intertwined, to all the others that have her wrapping her legs around him, we’re looking back at #Kravis and their love story to date.
Believe it or not, this hardcore romance actually grew out of a solid friendship.
At the time, the Poosh founder and the Blink-182 drummer lived in the same gated community in Calabassas, California, so knew each other years prior to their romance.
In fact, Travis had previously admitted to having a crush on Kourtney’s sister, Kim Kardashian, back in the days when she was a personal assistant to heiress Paris Hilton, who Travis dated briefly in 2006.
“Kim was eye candy. I was no way disrespectful to Paris, but I couldn’t keep my eyes off Kim!” he said in 2015.
Kourtney and Travis were first linked in October 2017, when his daughter, Alabama Luella Barker, revealed she’d spent some time hanging out with the Kardashian clan, when she would have been about 11 years old.
Given how close they lived to each other, it was barely major news when the pair were spotted grabbing dinner and heading to church together in 2018, and then again, the following year.
It wasn’t until 2021 that things really started kicking off for the mutually obsessed pair.
Rumours were sparked when Travis began leaving some flirty comments on pictures posted to Kourtney’s Instagram page.
Eagle-eyed fans soon noticed they’d both posted pictures taken at Kris Kardashian’s Palm Springs home, but it wasn’t much longer until they made it official, with Kourtney posting a pic of her hand holding Travis’s recognizably tattooed hand.
“Nasty,” she captioned it.
And from then, it was on for the pair, who began to post one PDA-packed pic after the other throughout 2021.
In April, Travis shared a few snaps of the pair smooching, as well as a video of Kourtney sucking his thumb, all in honour of her birthday.
“I F***ING LOVE YOU,” he wrote, all in capitals for that extra emphasis.
“YOU’RE A BLESSING TO THIS WORLD,” he continued.
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY.”
Around the same time, Travis got Kourtney’s name tattooed on him as well.
The romance continued with plenty of intense, public kissing, gifts shared, and another iconic moment where Kourtney gave Travis a tattoo.
However, no one was quite ready when the pair suddenly announced their engagement in October 2021, after what seemed to be less than a year of dating.
Travis led Kourtney to a seaside spot, where thousands of roses had been set up in a heart shape.
He popped the question, presenting her with a stunning diamond ring. The pair documented the moment in snaps later shared to their Instagram pages, and it’s also believed they’re likely to show the engagement on the upcoming Kardashian reboot, The Kardashians.
With an engagement so lavish, we were expecting the wedding to be a massive affair as well.
However, Kourtney and Travis surprised us – as they love to do – and got ‘married’ in a small Vegas ceremony after a night out at The Grammy Awards.
While no papers were signed, indicating they had bigger plans for the future, the pair looked like they had the best of fun tying the knot.
“Once upon a time in a land far, far away (Las Vegas) at 2am, after an epic night and a little tequila, a queen and her handsome king ventured out to the only open chapel with an Elvis and got married (with no license). Practice makes perfect,” Kourtney wrote on Instagram alongside snaps from the evening.

Soon after, the couple one-upped their Vegas nuptials with a second wedding, this time in Santa Barbara, California.
The low-key ceremony saw them legally married, with Kourntey donning a tight white mini dress and unique hooded veil for the occasion.
Third time’s the charm! Kourtney and Travis saved their biggest and best wedding for last, revealing their lavish castle nuptials in Italy on Instagram.
Sharing snaps from the unreal occasion, Kourtney wrote on Instagram “Introducing Mr. And Mrs. Barker”.
The reality star bride wore a tiny corseted mini dress by Dolce & Gabanna and accessorised with a massive veil featuring delicate lace details depicting Mary.
The whole Kardashian clan were in tow for the occasion, sharing their own snaps from the ceremony, which included Kourtney and Travis’ respective children.
With The Kardashians Season 3 dropping very soon, the pair have also revealed they’re hoping to have a baby together.
This is no easy feat, given Kourtney is now 42.
“It’s a beautiful thing that we’d love to have happen, but the journey is a bit hard, for any women who have been on it,” she told interviewer Lauren Zima.
“We all love it,” Khloé Kardashian said when asked what it’s like to see Kourtney so happy in her relationship.
“This is her time to shine baby!”
We completely adore this happy couple and can’t wait to see more of them in The Kardashians, which drops in Australia on May 25 on Disney Plus.
