It took many years before Travis Barker (47) was able to board a plane again after a devastating accident. Today he can enjoy his life to the fullest, as he now says himself. And for that he thanks his wife Kourtney Kardashian (44), to whom he has been married since 2022.

“I’ve just flown for the 30th time since my plane accident,” writes the musician in a post on Meta’s new short message service Threads, which he also published in an Instagram story. “I couldn’t tour or enjoy life the way I do without the healing love of my incredible wife.”

Kardashian and Barker are currently expecting a child together, as was recently announced. At the end of June, they announced to the world in an Instagram video that they are expecting a boy.

According to media reports, the Blink-182 drummer flew again for the first time in the summer of 2021 after being seriously injured in an accident in 2008. When the machine started, the accident happened, which cost four lives.

In 2015, Barker told the British “Guardian” that 65 percent of his body was burned in the accident. After the accident in which he lost two of his best friends, the musician developed a huge fear. He was almost “crazy” at the time, he said. “I couldn’t even look at the sky, I couldn’t look at a plane. I thought every plane was going to fall out of the damn sky.”
