[edit] Family

Travis has married twice and is soon to be divorced for the second time. He married relatively long time girlfriend, Melissa Kennedy, on September 22, 2001. The couple divorced August 6, 2002 after 11 months. Barker then married female actor and Miss USA 1995, Shanna Moakler, on October 30, 2004. The couple had a Gothic-style ceremony inspired by the Tim Burton film, The Nightmare Before Christmas, which was held on the eve of Halloween. [1].

Barker and Moakler have two children, Landon Asher and Alabama Luella. Along with Atiana Cecilia de la Hoya, Moakler's child with former boyfriend Oscar de la Hoya, the fivesome appeared in a reality television series, Meet the Barkers, which aired on MTV from 2005-2006.

On August 8, 2006, Barker filed for divorce from Moakler after nearly 2 years of marriage, [2][3]

Despite Travis Barker and ex-wife Shanna Moakler filing for divorce last August, it seems as if they're quietly trying to give it another go as they were seen in Disney Land holding hands and cuddling. Also, they were later seen both autographing a fan's book, with a heart around their names.[4]

[edit] Credits

Travis has appeared in numerous films and television shows, most notably his own reality show, Meet the Barkers, with estranged wife Shanna Moakler which debuted in 2005. In 2003, he appeared in an episode of MTV's Punk'd, a Candid Camera-esque television show, in which he took part in a set up bareknuckle boxing match. In 2006 Barker starred in a Boost Mobile commercial [5], which was detailed in an episode of Meet the Barkers. He's also played a few guest starring roles such as a rapper on the popular crime drama, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, and a voiceover for an episode of The Simpsons. He's been a presenter for several award shows such as the Much Music Awards in 2002 and the MTV Video Music Awards in 2000. In a slight departure from his usual genres, he made an appearance on the 41st annual CMA Awards in 2006, performing a medley of songs by country icon Buck Owens with a group of artists including Dwight Yoakam, ZZ Top guitarist Billy Gibbons, and former Byrds bass player Chris Hillman [6]. Also, in 2001, he appeared with Tom Delonge and Mark Hoppus in the skit "Leave it to Blink-182", a parody of "Leave it to Beaver", on the late night tv show MADtv.[7]

Also in 2003 He appeared on an episode of Ride with Funkmaster Flex in which Travis shows Flex his cars and does a music session (Travis on Drums, Flex on turntables)
