Ever since Keeping Up With the Kardashians star Kourtney Kardashian and her new beau Travis Barker went public with their relationship, their dates have been getting quite a bit of media attention, and we're here to explain the possible reasons why. The new couple has gone on several dates in Los Angeles, and they've also traveled all over the country. Most recently, Kourtney and Travis drove to Utah together. They took a boat ride on a river and walked across a see-through bridge to reach the other side of a mountain peak.

Kourtney and Travis started dating a short time ago, but it feels like they've been together for a long time. Rumors of a relationship between the two began in early January. when Kourtney and Travis shared snaps to social media at Kris Jenner's Palm Springs vacation home. At first, they didn't confirm or deny anything. However, fans were convinced they were together after noticing that Travis had been commenting on Kourtney's Instagram pictures for some time. The mother of three finally confirmed their relationship by posting a picture of the couple holding hands. That photo was shared on Valentine's Day.

The first date Kourtney and Travis went on that garnered a lot of attention was their sushi date. For an early Valentine's Day dinner, the couple headed to the posh Japanese restaurant Matsuhisa in Los Angeles. The 42-year-old was spotted holding hands with her drummer boyfriend across the table. Rumors of their relationship had just begun to circulate, so Kourtney and Travis might have been looking for the attention. Travis didn't even bother covering his face after he noticed cameras were pointed at them. Their second public date took place at an infamous UFC fight in Las Vegas, where they were seated right next to Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly. The latter couple is a huge topic of conversation in the press, so this could have been a way to get more eyes on their relationship.

Just this week, Kourtney and Travis were spotted together at Disneyland alongside their children. Kourtney brought Mason, Penelope, and Reign, while Travis brought his two kids, Alabama (who admires Kourtney) and Landon. The couple and their five children were photographed going on rides together and walking through the park. Disneyland is a great place for the two to show the public how they are as a couple, and how they are blending their families.
