Travis Barker’s Ex-Wife Shanna Moakler: Where Is She Now?

If you’ve ever kept up with Hollywood drama, you probably remember Shanna Moakler. She was the former beauty queen turned reality TV star who was married to Blink-182’s Travis Barker.

Their relationship was full of love, breakups, and drama. From their whirlwind romance to their ups and downs, Moakler and Barker were always making headlines. But that was years ago. So, what’s she up to now?

Well, the 49-year-old is not just the ex-wife of a famous drummer anymore. Moakler has grown into a confident woman, working on her own projects and living life on her own terms.

She’s got her own career, focuses on her health, and doesn’t care what people think of her anymore. Curious about what happened to the Miss USA star? We’ve got the full story here—from her relationship with Barker to their kids, their divorce, and what she’s doing now.

When Did Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler Start Dating?

Let’s take it back to 2002. This was the year when Shanna Moakler, fresh off her Miss USA win, met Travis Barker, the drummer of Blink-182. The two hit it off pretty quickly and were spotted together at the MTV Video Music Awards that August.

The timing was interesting though—Barker had just gotten divorced from his first wife, Melissa Kennedy, after less than a year of marriage. It seemed like he was moving on fast, but things with Moakler felt different. She was a rising star, and Barker was already a rock legend.

The two started dating, and it was obvious they had something special, even though their relationship was far from normal. Celebrities, paparazzi, and the pressure of living in the spotlight all added to the drama. But hey, they didn’t seem to mind. From the start, it was clear they were ready to make headlines together.

When Did Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler Marry?

If there’s one thing we know about Barker and Moakler, it’s that they weren’t shy about their relationship. After dating for a while, the musician proposed to Moakler on Christmas Eve 2003—a fairytale moment!

He popped the question at Disneyland while they were on the Haunted Mansion ride. Yep, in a spooky, ghost-filled setting. Definitely not your typical romantic proposal, but it worked for them.

The couple married on October 30, 2004, just a day before Halloween. Their wedding theme? The Nightmare Before Christmas, of course. Their son, Landon, even wore a mini tuxedo just like his dad.

Barker’s’ Blink-182 bandmates, Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge, were there as groomsmen. It wasn’t your average celebrity wedding, but it was definitely memorable—and they made sure to share it with fans through their reality show, Meet the Barkers.

How Many Kids Do Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler Have?

The couple welcomed their first child, son Landon Asher, on October 9, 2003—just months before they got married. Landon’s name was special because it was also Barker’s middle name. For Moakler, this was her second child—she already had a daughter, Atiana, from her previous relationship with boxer Oscar De La Hoya.

Then, on Christmas Eve in 2005, they welcomed their second child, a daughter named Alabama Luella. It’s kind of cute how she got her name—Barker had joked that he wanted a girl born on December 24th, and his wish came true! The drummer told PEOPLE:

Hopefully it will be Christmas Eve. I’m hoping for a girl.

So, just like that, they had their little family of four. Despite the challenges they faced, both Barker and Moakler were dedicated to their kids. Landon and Alabama were always their top priority, and they worked hard to co-parent.

Why Did Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler Divorce?

According to PEOPLE, by 2006, after starring in their reality show Meet the Barkers, things weren’t going well for Barker and Moakler. They were facing serious relationship issues, and Barker filed for divorce.

Moakler, understandably, was heartbroken and opened up about her emotions on MySpace. But the drama didn’t end there. Even though Barker filed for divorce, he wasn’t ready to let go. The two tried to work things out, even attending a Halloween party together just a day after the filing.

In early 2007, they reconciled, and things seemed to be going better. But unfortunately, their second chance didn’t last long. By June 2007, they had split again. Maokler moved out, and their relationship was over for good. By February 2008, their divorce was finalized. It was a tough, messy time for both of them, but they eventually moved on.

I’m more than just the ex-wife of famous men. I was Miss USA at 19. I’m smart. Every part I’ve ever got in any movie, or every show I hosted or auditioned for, I worked my f—ing ass off to get.

Moakler is a businesswoman, a spokesperson for Tahoe Blue vodka, and is working on new projects, including starring in and directing her own TV shows. Plus, she’s helping young women chase their dreams to become Miss USA.
