Kim Kardashian Sets the Record Straight on Whether She Ever ‘Hooked Up’ with Brother-in-Law Travis Barker

Kim Kardashian is clearing up some rumors regarding her and her sister Kourtney Kardashian‘s husband, Travis Barker.

The reality TV personality, 44, appeared on the Wednesday, October 15, episode of Alex Cooper‘s Call Her Daddy podcast and revealed whether she ever hooked up with the Blink 182 drummer, 49 — who she developed a friendship with in the early 2000s — before he got together with the Lemme founder, 46.

“No, I never have,” the businesswoman remarked.

“That really sucks that that [speculation] has gone on, but he dated Paris [Hilton] and we were all friends and we’d all like hang out,” Kim explained. “And when I was with Paris, we’d be on the road and go to their tour in Amsterdam, and so I have been friends with him, but never in that way, and never hooked up with him.”

In Barker’s 2015 autobiography, Can I Say, the musician admitted he told his friend that Kim was “f**king hot” when he met her in Amsterdam, but noted the pair “never touched each other” throughout their friendship, according to Today.

The podcast host, 31, asked Kim if she got a “heads up” about the memoir, to which she responded, “No, but it would say that we never hooked up.”

“I mean, I don’t think he would allude to that information, you know, but also, Kourtney was around during that time,” Kim continued. “So like they were neighbors for a decade.”

“He was always around with his kids. They’d always come to Kourtney’s house for all the birthdays,” she added. “So it was like 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. So, it was nothing weird.”

Kourtney and Barker started dating in 2021. The couple tied the knot in 2022 and welcomed son Rocky in November 2023.
