Kim Kardashian firmly denied ever courting Travis Barker and clarified their longtime friendship throughout a revealing “Call Her Daddy” podcast interview.

Kim Kardashian shut down years of hypothesis a few rumored romance with Travis Barker throughout a wide-ranging interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast, making it crystal clear she by no means dated the Blink-182 drummer earlier than he married her sister Kourtney Kardashian.

When host Alex Cooper requested whether or not she had “ever hooked up” with Barker “in the past,” the SKIMS founder didn’t hesitate.

“No, I never have,” Kim stated. “Absolutely, that I do not mind you asking. I never have and it really sucks that (rumour) has gone on.”

The rumor has lingered for years, fueled partially by Barker’s personal 2015 memoir Can I Say: Living Large, Cheating Death, and Drums, Drums, Drums, the place he admitted to having a crush on Kim. But Kardashian stated she had no thought he’d written about her.

“No,” she replied when requested if she knew concerning the memoir point out. “But it would say that we never hooked up. I mean, I don’t think he would allude to that information, you know?”

Kim defined that she and Barker turned associates by social circles that included Paris Hilton, whom Barker briefly dated.

“He dated Paris (Hilton) and we were all friends and we’d all hang out when I was with Paris,” she stated. “We’d be on the road and go to, like, their tour in Amsterdam. So, I have been friends with him… And never hooked up with him.”

Barker and Kourtney started courting in 2020 and tied the knot in 2022. According to Kim, their households had already been shut for years earlier than the romance began.

“Kourtney was around during that time. They were neighbours for a decade,” she defined. “So, when everyone was all hanging out… he was always around with his kids. They’d always come to Kourtney’s house for all the birthdays. Everything was super open and cool and everyone’s been friends. He was just as good of friends with them as he was with all of us. It was nothing weird.”
