An Insider told Us Weekly, 'Kourtney and Travis are officially a couple. They have been close friends for years and have been dating for a couple months. Travis is very smitten with Kourtney and has been for a while.' They later confirmed in April 2021 that they were together.
The couple's bond actually goes way back. The duo, who live in the same Calabasas, California, gated community, have been spotted out together on numerous occasions including in 2018 when they grabbed dinner and later attended an evening church service.

Travis decided to mark Kourtney's 42nd birthday by sending her a huge bouquet of flowers - and posting some very loved up pics of the pair on Instagram. As if that wasn't enough, he captioned the post: 'I F***ING LOVE YOU! YOU’RE A BLESSING TO THIS WORLD. HAPPY BIRTHDAY.' Since this post there have been hundreds of loved up posts with lots of PDA - enjoy!
Kourtney shares three children - Mason, Penelope and Reign - with her ex Scott Disick. Travis has two children from his previous wife Shanna Moakler - Alabama and Landon. Discussing their relationship, Travis has called Kourtney 'a great mom' and 'a great friend'.
'I dated girls who didn't have kids and I find it hard because they would have trouble understanding like, "Why don't you want to go to dinner every night with me?" or "Why don't you want to see me every night?"', he explained on Drew Barrymore's talk show. 'And now I'm spending time with a woman who's a great mom, who's a great friend and you don't have to worry about any of those things.'
