Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker Have Surprise Las Vegas Ceremony: Everything to Know About the Wedding

Burning love! Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker exchanged vows in Las Vegas hours after the 64th Annual Grammy Awards — and less than six months after they got engaged. The Poosh founder, 42, and the Blink-182 drummer, 46, had a small wedding ceremony in the early hours of Monday, April 4, at the One Love Wedding Chapel in Sin City, but it was unclear if they obtained a marriage license to make it legal. Chapel owner Marty Frierson confirmed the news to Us Weekly on Tuesday, April 5. "They called up first and mentioned a celebrity was coming," Frierson explained. "They made sure we were open and I made them pay online before they got there because I don't know if it was a scam, so they paid online and came in." Earlier that evening, the duo attended the Grammys, where Barker performed with H.E.R. and Lenny Kravitz. After touching tongues on the red carpet, the couple's PDA continued inside the MGM Grand Garden Arena. An eyewitness exclusively told Us that the Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum sat on her beau's lap during Lil Nas X's performance, and later, the twosome made out between sets. [sendtonews type="float" key="jmHoQi61Ov-2833704-14453"] Last year, the reality star and the Box Car Racer founder prompted speculation that they had either eloped or gotten engaged during a vacation in Las Vegas. Hairstylist Glen Oropeza sparked the rumors after he posted a series of photos in July 2021. “NOWWW I understand why ppl tie the knot in Vegas,” he wrote via Instagram. “There’s nothing like love AND a good time.” Eagle-eyed fans noticed that the post originally included a diamond ring emoji, but Oropeza later swapped it out for a black heart instead. Barker's daughter Alabama, 16, further fueled speculation about a secret wedding when she reposted one of the duo’s Vegas photos to her Instagram Stories with the caption, “So happy for you guys.” The musician shares Alabama and son Landon, 18, with ex-wife Shanna Moakler, whom he divorced in 2008. Kardashian, for her part, shares sons Mason, 12, and Reign, 7, and daughter Penelope, 9, with ex-boyfriend Scott Disick, whom she dated off and on from 2006 to 2015. While Barker and Kardashian didn't get engaged or married during their 2021 trip, the idea of a Vegas wedding clearly stuck with them. "The vibe was just love," Frierson said of the couple, who announced their engagement in October 2021. "It was very romantic." Keep scrolling for more details on the surprise ceremony.

Pre-Wedding PDA

According to an eyewitness, Barker was "twirling Kourtney around” as they walked into the arena where the Grammys were held. During the show, they couldn't keep their hands off one another. The source noted that the duo had a marathon makeout session during J Balvin's performance. The insider added that the couple's PDA lasted for an “uncomfortably long” time between songs, with the twosome locking lips “for almost a minute.”

The Package

Frierson told Us that the Hulu personality and the California native purchased the One Love Affair package, which he described as their "basic" option. According to the chapel's website, the package includes the ceremony, use of a silk rose bouquet and boutonniere, 20 photographs, a video and a toast. Frierson noted that the pair did not make use of the chapel's photography services. "They were filming everything," he told Us. "I was not allowed to take pictures or videos."

The Elvis of It All

Kardashian and Barker enlisted a very special guest to help them mark the occasion: an Elvis Presley impersonator. "We had Elvis Presley," Frierson said. "That was the deal sealer." (The duo paid extra for the Elvis appearance, though Frierson helped them find the impersonator.)

Who Was There

Us confirmed that the pair had three friends with them at the chapel, plus one security guard and one member from their team. Frierson told Us that the friends filmed the ceremony using their iPhones. "They didn't really speak," he added of Barker and Kardashian. "A lot of kissing and dancing. It was very, very romantic."

What They Wore

The couple arrived in the same outfits they wore to the Grammys earlier in the evening. "They were both dressed in black," Frierson told Us. Kardashian wore a black jumpsuit from Et Ochs accessorized with mesh gloves, while Barker dressed in a Givenchy vest and pants combo with Tiffany & Co. jewelry. On the red carpet, the Meet the Barkers alum was wearing a bright pink coat by Raf Simons, but he does not appear to have worn that to the wedding ceremony.

Kourtney Texted the Group Chat

During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel days after the ceremony, Kourtney revealed she and Barker tried to obtain a marriage license but were told the office was closed. She also explained that she informed her family via their group text, with Khloé Kardashian tuning in via FaceTime.

“I was sleeping,” Kim said. "She put it in the group chat, like, 'Oh, hey guys, by the way … I got married last night!' And I woke up to like, a million texts."
