It sure seems like Kourtney Kardashian has a fairytale romance with husband Travis Barker — in no small part due to the incredible baby boy Rocky who they just recently welcomed into the world. But behind the scenes, folks are claiming there’s actually major turmoil going on! The purported drama is between them, the rest of the KarJenner clan, Kourt’s baby daddy Scott Disick, and even the Poosh founder’s longtime friends! OMG!
According to sources speaking to DailyMail.com on Wednesday, Kourtney has developed her super-tight relationship with the Blink-182 drummer at the expense of both friends and family members. The rift is supposedly deep AND wide, and it affects a lot of people. And it all started because of Lord Disick…

Per the DM source, Travis felt “threatened” by Scott right when he and Kourtney first got together, and everything unraveled from there:
“When Travis got together with Kourtney on the heels of her and Scott’s long romance, he felt threatened by Scott. Travis needed Scott to know that Kourtney was his now and, as a result, it caused Scott to distance himself from the Kardashians.”
Yikes!
Of course, Kourtney and Scott have a really long history together, including a relationship that began in 2006 and was chronicled on the fam’s former E! show, and three children — Mason, Penelope, and Reign — whom they continue to co-parent together.
But right from the start of his relationship with the Lemme lead, Travis was apparently distrustful of Scott’s presence! That outlet reports that it was the rocker’s push to go heavy on PDA with Kourt in a bid to force Scott out. But it backfired!! The KarJenner fam rallied to keep Scott close, and he made the transition to Hulu and The Kardashians under the watchful eye of momager Kris Jenner! The source explained:
“Travis’ game plan to get Scott out of the picture backfired tremendously. He knows that the Kardashian family’s loyalty lies with Scott. Kourtney and Scott’s kids also are very loyal to their father and will always side with Scott when it comes to Travis’ issues with their dad.”
Oof!
But that’s only half of it, y’all. This reported rift goes SO much deeper than just Lord Disick! Per that outlet’s reporting, Kourtney’s relationships with sisters Khloé and Kim Kardashian have also been suffering in the wake of her romantic ascent with Travis. Things have gotten so bad recently, the insider claims, that Kourtney now “barely talks” to her two sisters other than when they are together to film their show! Seriously?! The source explained:
“Kourtney started discarding everyone in her life when Travis came into the picture and, since then, it has got progressively worse to the point where she doesn’t seem to care about associating with anyone from her old life. Kourtney barely talks to Khloé and Kim anymore, aside from when they are filming the show. She has pushed them away and deals with them as if they are her coworkers. Things are very fake and forced when filming the show.”
Jeez. We know that Kourtney and Kim in particular have fought a lot (like, a lot a lot), but is there really this much of a chasm between them?? We didn’t think so based on what we last heard, so if true, it’s so unfortunate!

It’s not just Kourtney’s sisters who are feeling the fade, either. Her friends have reportedly seen the mom of four step back noticeably after marrying Travis, too! The report specifically named a series of Kourtney’s longtime (in some cases, lifelong) friends who have been affected. The list includes well-known KarJenner universe pals like Melissa Kolker, Allie Rizzo, Stephanie Shepherd, Brittny Gastineau, Courtenay Semel, and even Kourt’s longtime Poosh confidante Sarah Howard. A second source explained what the post-Travis landscape has been like for those ladies:
“Kourtney and those girls were like sisters their whole life. Now she barely even responds to texts or calls. She would post photos with them all the time on her social media. She was also seen with them partying at bars and clubs all the time in LA and Las Vegas.”
It probably doesn’t help that many of those friends are still close with Scott, too, as the second source noted:
“The girls are all still close with various members of the Kardashian family including Malika Haqq, who is Khloé’s best friend. Many of them are still close with Scott, too, who they all care deeply for. Scott has always been great to her friends. But none of Kourtney’s old friends are really friends with Travis and have had hardly any contact with Kourtney since she got together with him.”
Thus, all this has evidently left Kourtney and Travis out on an island of their own. WOW!
Do U buy all this, Perezcious readers?! Is Kourt really choosing Travis over her friends and family? It wouldn’t be the first time a woman did so. Share your reactions to this jaw-dropping report in the comments (below)…
