Travis Barker's ex-wife breaks silence after 'dig' about Kourtney Kardashian romance

Travis Barker's ex-wife Shanna Moakler has spoken out about his new romance with long-term friend Kourtney Kardashian.

And after she appeared to take a sly swipe at the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star online, the model says she has no ill will for her ex and his new lover.

Blink-182 drummer Travis has been Kourtney's friend and neighbour for years, but recently they became romantic.

After weeks of rumours, she confirmed their relationship by sharing a snap of their hands intertwined.

Page Six reports that Shanna, who shares kids Alabama, 15, and Landon, 17, with Travis, said she was happy for the couple.

She told a paparazzo outside LAX: "He’s my friend and co-parent, and I want him to be happy and if being with her makes him happy, and she’s happy, I’m happy for both of them honestly."

The 45-year-old also seemed to suggest that Travis could outlast many of the other Kardashian boyfriends and husbands who have come and gone, saying: "He can handle that Kardashian drama."

Shanna, who is also mum to 21-year-old Atiana, is now dating Matthew Rondeau, 28. She was married to Travis from 2004 to 2008.

Her comments come after reports that she liked a shady comment that suggested Travis had "downgraded", although she has since confirmed that it was just "in jest".

Kourtney, 41, who shares kids Mason, 11, Penelope, eight, and Reign, six, with ex Scott Disick, is said to be very happy with Travis, 45.

"Kourtney is very happy with Travis. She wanted to confirm their relationship because it's something positive," a source shared with PEOPLE.

"She was single for a while and didn't expect that their relationship would turn romantic."

The insider added: "She feels very fortunate. She loves spending time with Travis."

And Travis is already believed to have the approval of Kourtney's famous family.

A source previously told the publication: "He's liked her for a long time and she just got more open to the idea. He's a good guy and a really great dad.

"Her family and friends all really like him. Their kids all get along too, which is sweet."
