It’s been a massive week in Rita Ora’s love life – and it’s happening at breakneck speed.
X Factor judge Rita was pictured with her new man, Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker, for the first time just over three weeks ago, but his “people” have confirmed they’re in a relationship.
More news!
She’s also met his son AND we’ve spotted them looking tired and scruffy, going to lunch near his house in LA. The house that he still shares with his ex wife, Shanna Moakler.
Yeah, that’s right: Travis has a home with his ex and their two kids, Alabama, nine, and Landon, 11. It’s a bit of a complicated situation.
You see, model and reality star, Shanna was married to Travis between 2004 and 2008, but they’ve had one of the most chaotic on-off relationships in Hollywood. How do we know?
Because it was played out on their reality show, Meet The Barkers, and all over the internet, where they’ve accused each other of cheating, bad parenting and being mentally ill. So, what does this mean for Travis and Rita?
“It’s a difficult relationship, because one [of Travis or Shanna] always feels like they’re being slighted and these things can end up exploding,” Shanna’s former sister-in-law Jacqueline Moakler tells heat.
“Shanna and Travis are two very different people, but there’s always going to be a love between them. There’s a thin line between love and hate, which can easily go one way or another. They’re soulmates and were destined to be together somehow.”
