Shanna Moakler ‘Divorced’ Travis Barker Because of His ‘Inappropriate Relationship’ With Kim Kardashian - Yahoo

Travis Barker's ex-wife, Shanna Moakler, is sharing her feelings about the Kardashian family.

On Friday, February 27, the former Miss New York, 50, appeared on Brittany Cartwright's When Reality Hits podcast and was asked about her co-parenting relationship with the Blink 182 drummer's wife, Kourtney Kardashian.

“At one point in time, I felt it wasn’t respectful," the model — who shares son Landon, 22, and daughter Alabama, 20, with Barker, 50 — explained. "At certain times, I felt, ‘Wow, if I had your kids, I wouldn’t be doing some of the s**t you’re doing with my kids.'”

“I feel like there were some lines that were crossed," she continued. “But you know it is what it is. It’s happened. And I feel like we’ve all moved forward from it now.”

Moakler — who was married to Barker from 2004 to 2008 — also said she doesn't "talk to that family" and declared, "I don't like that family."

While Moakler and Kourtney, 46, don't communicate directly, she explained, "there's been times where one of my children may have had something going on in their lives where I know Kourtney's been in the room when we're all trying to guide or help one of my kids."

However, Moakler said, "nothing's impossible" when looking to the future.

"You never know, maybe she and I will go to lunch one day...and just have some sort of common respect for one another," she remarked.

Later in the episode, Moakler discussed the rumors that Barker allegedly cheated on her with Kourtney's sister, Kim Kardashian, during their marriage.

“I had gotten texts from an anonymous number that Travis and Kim were having an inappropriate relationship,” Moakler claimed. "I divorced for that reason."

Moakler noted that the complicated history she has with the family has played a role in today's dynamics.

"I just think if certain things like that didn't happen in the past, it maybe wouldn’t have made the transition into this new family and marriage so complicated," she shared.

Kourtney and Barker tied the knot in 2022 and welcomed son Rocky in 2023.
