Kourtney Kardashian couldn’t be happier after going official with her new boyfriend, Travis Barker, according to sources.
The pair had been surrounded by speculation for several weeks that their friendship had grown into a blossoming romance, six years after they are believed to have met for the first time.
Kourtney, 41, and Travis, 45, had been seen enjoying date nights out in Los Angeles, with pictures emerging of the two holding hands over a dinner table.
Keen to end all speculation, Kourt took to her Instagram account to share the exciting news with her 111 million followers, posting a picture of her and her new beau holding hands, with Travis’ recognisable tattoos on full display.

Now, sources say that the mum-of-three is happy to make her relationship public, despite shying away from her worldwide level of fame.
Speaking to People, an insider said: “Kourtney is very happy with Travis, she wanted to confirm their relationship because it’s something positive.”
The source went on to say: “She was single for a while and didn’t expect that their relationship would turn romantic.

Shortly after Kourtney shared their loved up affection on Instagram, Travis chose to reshare the post to his Instagram Story for his 3.1 million fans to see.
Celebrity pals soon flooded the comment section including Caitlyn Jenner’s close pal Sophia Hutchins who penned: “Love you.”

One fan gushed: “May happiness be with you always Kourtney.”
“KRAVIS FOREVER,” another exclaimed.
A third went on to gush: “Happy for you Kourt, a cute couple”.
Kourtney and Blink-182 drummer Travis are said to have been spending some time at Kris Jenner’s lavish home in Palm Springs as Travis was already a family friend.
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians bombshell dropped a subtle hint at her new romance on Valentines Day, sharing a snap of a poem which read: “Roses are red, violets are blue, garlic bread, Blink-182.”
Kourtney and Travis are said to have met over six years ago when Kourt’s younger sister, Khloé Kardashian moved onto the same gated road as the musician in Calabasas, California.
Travis and his ex-wife Shanna have also featured in several episodes of Keeping Up With The Kardashians as their son, Landon, 17, is pals with Kourt’s eldest son, Mason.
Their romance is Kourtney’s first public relationship following her split from long-term boyfriend, Scott Disick, who she split from in 2015 following a 12-year relationship.
