Alabama Barker gushes over ‘best soon-to-be stepmom’ Kourtney Kardashian

Alabama Barker is stoked to welcome Kourtney Kardashian into her family.

Travis Barker’s daughter took to her Instagram Story on Monday to gush over her future stepmom on her 43rd birthday.

“Happy birthday to the best soon to be stepmom I could ask for!” Alabama, 16, wrote atop a photo of herself posing with the reality star and half-sister Atiana De La Hoya.

“You deserve the world @kourtneykardash ❤️.”

Travis, 46, proposed to Kardashian in October 2021. The two then said “I do” at the One Love Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas following the 2022 Grammys earlier this month. However, the nuptials were not legally binding.

The Blink-182 drummer was previously married to Melissa Kennedy from 2001 to 2002 and Shanna Moakler from 2004 to 2008. He and the latter share two children together: Alabama and 18-year-old son Landon.

Barker also helped Moakler raise her oldest daughter, Atiana, whose biological father is retired boxer Oscar De La Hoya. The two are still close, and Barker has invited Atiana to plenty of Kardashian get-togethers over the past few years.

Though Alabama and her real mom are seemingly in a better place these days, the mother-daughter duo were not on good terms for a while.

Last year, both Alabama and Landon accused Moakler of being an absentee parent – allegations she called “completely rediculous [sic].”

“Everybody thinks my mother is amazing … My mom has never completely been in my life, can you guys stop painting her out to be an amazing Mom,” Alabama alleged via Instagram in May 2021. “Did your moms ask to see you on mother’s day cause mine didn’t? I’m done keeping it a secret, reality shows.”

Landon made similar remarks on TikTok at the time, claiming Moakler “has never been in our lives and isn’t in our lives like our dad is.”

Like his sister, Landon seems to approve of Kardashian. “True love ❤️❤️,” he commented on his dad’s photos from the couple’s handsy trip to Utah in April 2021.
