For well over a year now, Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian have been subjecting the world to their very public displays of very intense affection. Now Barker is firing back at the haters. 

On Sunday, April 17, Barker posted photos of himself exercising to Instagram. It is important to note here that the photos did not include or address Kourtney Kardashian in any way. Barker captioned the post, “Get after it @barkerwellness.” He tagged his CBD wellness company, launched last year, in the photo as well.

A bitter commenter, clearly disturbed by the lack of Travis and Kourtney PDA in the post, commented: “No kardashian finger up the a**, tongue, intestines, nudity, pda, etc etc anymore? Slacking.”

Barker clapped back: “Still got the finger up the ass, and my intestines, were totally nude and full pda with my fiancée.” For effect, Barker added the middle finger emoji at the end. 

Kourtney and Travis got married at a Las Vegas wedding chapel just hours after the Blink-182 musician performed at the Grammys on Sunday, April 3, so you may be confused as to why Barker called Kardashian his fiancée here and not his wife. Except they aren't exactly legally married, because the couple did not register for marriage in the state of Nevada before tying the knot. 

“They had a ceremony, but on paper it’s not legal yet,” an insider told Page Six. They didn’t apply for a certificate either, meaning their Vegas elopement—officiated by an Elvis impersonator—was just for fun.

Their romantic relationship began in early 2021, and since then it's been a whirlwind of intense declarations of love and PDA-heavy red carpets. Sources reported to TMZ that the Vegas ceremony is only the beginning of Travis and Kourtney's multipart lovefest. 

“This will not be the only ceremony to mark the couple’s commitment,” the source said. “We’re told there will be ‘several’ other celebrations, with lots of fanfare.” Lots of fanfare and, by default, lots of PDA too.
