Before there was Shanna Moakler and Kourtney Kardashian, there was Melissa Kennedy. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, during Travis Barker‘s early days as a drummer for Blink-182, he was in a relationship with Kennedy that even led to a short-lived marriage.

The relationship ended in 2002, and he went on to wed Moakler in 2004. That romance was on-and-off until the pair called it quits for good in 2009. Now, Barker is married to Kardashian, whom he tied the knot with in 2022.
