Travis Barker Opens Up About His First Marriage to Melissa Kennedy in New Documentary: "Life Just Kept Getting Crazier"

In his latest documentary, "Travis Barker: Louder Than Fear," the Blink-182 drummer takes viewers on a journey through his tumultuous life, revealing personal details about his first marriage to Melissa Kennedy. Barker shares that their relationship suffered due to his relentless touring schedule with the band. "I was touring with Blink non-stop," Barker admits in the Hulu documentary, released last month.

"It was tough, especially since I was married at the time." The couple tied the knot in September 2001 and divorced less than a year later in August 2002. Barker explains that their marriage hit a breaking point when they got into a heated argument over his burgeoning music career. Ultimately, he chose to prioritize Blink-182, leading to the end of their relationship.

"I went back to LA soon after that," Barker recalls. "And life just kept getting crazier and crazier." The drummer found love again with Shanna Moakler, whom he married in October 2004. The two became parents to sons Landon and Alabama before separating in 2006 and finalizing their divorce in 2008. Barker's new documentary also delves into his romantic life, revealing how he fell for Kourtney Kardashian.

The couple share that they lived near each other and spent holidays together with their families before their relationship blossomed. "Halloween and Christmas, we thrived," Kardashian says onscreen. The couple also discuss a devastating miscarriage they experienced six months into their relationship. "When we lost the baby, we were devastated," Kardashian shares.

"We cried for days." Despite this heartbreak, Barker and Kardashian eventually conceived their son Rocky naturally after multiple IVF attempts. "Travis Barker: Louder Than Fear" provides an intimate look into the rockstar's life, offering a glimpse into his personal struggles and triumphs. The documentary is now streaming on Hulu.
