  • They have been inseparable since confirming their relationship

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker made their first red carpet appearance as an official couple at the 2021 MTV VMAs. The pair walked the red carpet together for the first time on Sunday, nine months after they started dating.

Kardashian arrived at the event donning an off-shoulder, all-black leather mini dress with corset detail, matched with a pair of black, open-toe high heels. Her attire matched Barker's outfit of black blazer and pants. The Blink 182 drummer's suit had spikes around the shoulders and knees, but what made the overall look more remarkable was his decision to go shirtless beneath the blazer.

The couple did not shy away from packing on the PDA while posing for photos on the red carpet. At one point, they even held hands and kissed in front of the camera.

Kardashian and Barker started dating in December 2020 and their red carpet debut at the MTV VMAs marks the latest milestone in their whirlwind romance.

The two have been inseparable since confirming their relationship, with Barker always present even on Kardashian family outings. The pair is known to be open about their relationship as Barker and the Poosh founder are often seen in PDA-filled snaps on their social media accounts.

Kardashian and Barker were friends and neighbors for years before they took their relationship to the next level.

After getting their love forever commemorated in his new arm tattoo, Barker revealed in a recent interview with Nylon how much he loves Kardashian.

“It’s still something new to me,” he told the magazine. “But having something that gives me the strength and hope to be able to overcome things that were so traumatic in my life, it just says a ton. She’s definitely that for me. I’m invincible when I’m with her. It’s like I never dreamed, I never even considered flying again,” he added.

Kardashian and Barker recently went on a romantic trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and Europe, where they made stops in Italy and Paris.
