Kourtney Kardashian's Las Vegas wedding was 'just a stunt for new show'

Kourtney Kardashian’s Las Vegas wedding to Travis Barker has been branded a stunt to promote their new show.

The reality TV star and Blink-182 rocker got engaged after a whirlwind romance and have been packing on the PDA everywhere they can ever since.

Their most recent can’t keep their hands off each other moment was at last week’s Grammys.

After tonguing each other on the red carpet, the couple secretly tied the knot in a late night ceremony at the One Love Chapel - officiated by an Elvis impersonator.

It has since emerged the pair married without a licence, which is allowed in Las Vegas but means the union doesn’t have any legal standing.

An insider claims the Vegas wedding is likely to form the storyline in the early episodes of The Kardashians new Hulu series, which airs on April 14.

“It’s a stunt straight out of Kris Jenner’s playbook,” the source told Heat magazine.

“Kourtney and Travis are relieved to have done it since it takes the pressure of them ahead of a bigger ceremony in the summer or autumn.

“Of course Kris [Kourtney’s mum and momager] will be ensuring it’s as extravagant as possible.”

Sharing snaps of their ‘wedding night’ with her 169 million Instagram followers, Kourtney teased: “Found these in my camera roll.

“Once upon a time in a land far, far away (Las Vegas) at 2am, after an epic night and a little tequila, a queen and her handsome king ventured out to the only open chapel with an Elvis and got married (no license).”

Teasing there are more celebrations to come, the 42-year-old added: “Practice makes perfect.

The photo dump shows the bride and groom in matching black leather jackets and sunglasses. The back of Travis’ jacket said: “What are you staring at a**hole.”

At one point a seemingly tipsy Kourtney falls to the floor as a laughing Travis pulls her back up.

Another shot shows Kourtney’s manicured hand on a note from celebrity hotel hangout Chateau Marmont in LA, suggesting they ‘honeymooned’ there.

One person who probably wasn’t too happy to see Kourtney’s ‘wedding pics’ is her ex Scott Disick, who is the father of her three kids.

Kourtney and Scott dated for nine years and were once engaged to be married – planning their very own nuptials in Vegas back in 2007.

While it wasn’t to be, pals say Scott is still hurt Kourtney actually went through with this wedding, whether it is real or not.

The 38-year-old is said to be “devastated” by how much Kourtney has moved on, despite him dating several younger women including Sofia Richie over the past few years.

He is not a fan of Travis and had secretly hoped Kourtney would “come to her senses and dump him”, the pal added.
