Travis Barker’s former spouse, Shanna Moakler, addressed rumors of a feud with the Kardashians, clarifying her stance during an interview with In Touch Weekly. When questioned about any potential conflict with the reality TV stars, Moakler responded with a simple “I don’t.” She emphasized her focus on pursuing her own path, stating, “I just am doing my own thing.”
Moakler, now navigating life as an “empty-nester” since her two children with Travis, Alabama, and Landon, reside with him, maintains an optimistic outlook on her newfound independence. Despite her children living elsewhere, she expressed enthusiasm for embarking on this new phase of her life and embracing the opportunities it presents.
“I feel at the time when Travis got with Kourtney, there was some parental alienation going on there where Travis, even when we weren’t together, always wanted to be the super dad,” she said last year on Bunnie XO’s podcast.
“When the [Kardashians] first came around [the Barkers], they were enamored — just as young kids would be enamored by them. There was a lot of glitter and fame, they watched them on TV, and now their dad’s dating one, and they’re gonna be on the show and I think they got caught up and that, which young kids would do,” she spilled.
She added: “They’re buying them Prada, and they’re buying them gifts, and they’re going to these events and they’re meeting Kanye [West] and all this big stuff. I can’t give them that. I don’t have that. I don’t have access to that. I don’t have the money to do that. I can’t buy you guys Prada every other week and stuff. I don’t. I can’t do it. My house isn’t a mansion like Travis’. I don’t have a movie theater. I don’t have golf carts for you kids to drive.”
While acknowledging the shift in her parenting dynamic after her separation from Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, Moakler remains steadfast in her positivity. She noted that Barker takes care of their children, as well as her daughter with ex-partner Oscar De La Hoya, Atiana, aged 24.
Moakler’s comments shed light on her approach to co-parenting and navigating personal growth amidst changes in her family dynamics. As she embarks on this new chapter, Moakler’s focus on independence and positivity serves as a testament to her resilience and determination to embrace life’s transitions with grace.
