Travis Barker's 3 Kids Are as Close as Can Be — and We Love to See It!

12/04/2021 - 09:45 PM

If we've learned anything about Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker [1] over the decades, it's that he loves tattoos and he loves his kids. With their rock-star dad in the spotlight for much of their childhood, Barker's kids, Landon and Alabama [2], and their stepsister, Atiana, haven't had the most conventional upbringing. However, the musician has made it known since the beginning that his kids are his number one priority. He even bought a home near their school when he and ex-wife Shanna Moakler [3] were separating so the kids would have a home base. "I bought a home that's very close to my children's school, so when she's with the kids, she's there; when I'm with the kids, I'm there. There's no making them travel back and forth to different houses," he explained to People [4] magazine back in 2017.

Whether he's gushing about his love for his kids [5] on Twitter, saying "I love being a Dad more than anything, best thing to have ever happened in my entire life" (aww!), or posting sappy throwback photos [6] on Instagram, Barker is all about dad life. And we can't help but admire their close bond, both as siblings and with their dad. Get to know Atiana, Landon, and Alabama ahead!

Atiana De La Hoya

Born on March 29, 1999, Atiana De La Hoya is the daughter of boxing champ Oscar De La Hoya and Shanna Moakler; she became Barker's stepdaughter when he married Moakler in 2004. Since then, the two have had an undeniably close bond similar to that of her stepsiblings, which she's continued to nurture even after their parents divorced in 2008. You can find the 22-year-old chilling on Instagram as well as showing off her creative talent on her art Instagram page (@artbyatiana [8]), which has made its way onto a custom bag for Machine Gun Kelly [9].

Landon Asher Barker

The only boy in the family, Landon Asher Barker was the pair's first kid and was born on Oct. 9, 2003. Like his rock-star dad, Landon has developed a love for music. He's dropped a new song every year since 2018, including "Don't Need Her," [10] "Trust," [11] and his most recent track, "Holiday." [12] In 2016, he even performed a drum set [13] at a Blink-182 concert. The 17-year-old has already had a chance to dabble in the film industry thanks to his buddy Machine Gun Kelly. He starred alongside the artist, his dad, and Lil Huddy in the musical film Downfalls High [14].

Alabama Luella Barker

The youngest of the fam, Alabama Luella Barker was born on Dec. 24, 2005, and is Barker and Moakler's first daughter together. If you watched MTV's Meet the Barkers, you may remember baby Alabama's birth from season two. A YouTube personality with her dad's musical gene, Alabama has released a few bops including "Heartbreaker" [15] and her rendition of the Christmas jingle "Mistletoe." [16]

Being the rock-star dad he is, Barker filled in as Alabama's makeup model during a recent Instagram tutorial [17]. They're the definition of father-daughter goals. In case you need additional proof, watch their Father-Daughter Challenge [18] on MTV's YouTube channel.
