More engagement updates about Kourtney and Travis start rolling in—and it turns out that it’s a little more complicated than Travis just popping the question.

A source tells Entertainment Tonight that “Getting engaged and married one day has definitely been a topic of conversation between Kourtney and Travis. Travis would absolutely love to tie the knot with Kourtney, but Kourtney hasn’t been sure that’s the step she wants to take in their relationship right now. She is extraordinarily happy and doesn’t feel the need or want the pressure of getting married.”

Per ET‘s source, Kourtney’s a little hesitant because “there are a lot of other factors that concern her” if she and Travis marry, “one of them being Scott [Disick] and more importantly, her kids and what that adjustment would mean for them. It could be a lot to process, even though everyone sees that Kourtney is undeniably in love with Travis. Kourtney sees herself loving this moment and is just taking everything one day at a time and enjoying their time together.”

The source does make a point to say that Kourt’s hesitation has nothing to do with how she actually feels about Travis. For the record,”Travis makes Kourtney laugh uncontrollably and she loves that he always brings a smile to her face. She also really loves that Travis is such a great, hands-on dad. Travis loves that Kourtney has such an entrepreneurial spirit and that she is a strong, independent mom. They feel like they’re the perfect match.”

As for how things are going between Kourt and Scott are going? Yeah…an E! News source says “Scott and Kourtney have a tense relationship right now primarily because he’s been focusing on his new life in Miami and because of Kourtney getting serious with Travis. They are barely speaking. It’s hard for him to see Kourtney in love with someone else.”

How are the Kardashians reacting to Kourtney and Travis’s love parade, you ask? Welp, “Kourtney’s family is happy for her, but they’re also in a little bit of shock because they’ve never seen her like this before,” according to Entertainment Tonight. Honestly? Same!

And it doesn’t seem like the two have plans to stop anytime either. “They’re so in love and constantly fawning over one another,” ET’s source says. “They have such a strong connection and can’t get enough of each other.”

“Travis makes Kourtney feel so special and he is always showing her how much he loves her and how important she is to him,” the source continues. “Kourtney has been extremely loving toward him as well and has also been making a big effort to show how much she cares.”

Speaking of loving, Kourt actually tattoos the words “I love you” on Travis’s arm. You know, just in case he wasn’t 100 percent sure:

Welp, don’t be surprised if Kourt and Trav start sporting bling on that finger soon, because a source tells Entertainment Tonight that “Kourtney and Travis are in love and have talked about their future and the possibility of getting engaged and married. Kourtney hasn’t felt this strongly about anyone in a while and can see a forever with Travis.”

The fact that their families adore each other also helps a possible marriage along quite nicely. “Although the couple hasn’t been together for a while, they’ve known each other for years and have a strong connection,” the source continues. “Kourtney’s family hasn’t seen her this happy in a while and they love Travis. The couple’s kids get along great and that has made things much easier for them.”

April 27, 2021

Kourtney and Travis go on vacation YET AGAIN (seriously, does the concept of a pandemic even exist to them?), this time to Utah’s Amangiri resort in Canyon Point. To mark the occasion, Kourt posts a pic of her and Travis engaging in their raunchiest PDA to date:

But wait! That’s not all—Travis is also overcome with the vacation feels and raises Kourt’s already raunchy post with a photo set with snaps and video from their stay, which just so happens to include Travis casually resting his hand on Kourtney’s butt:

“Travis often spoils her and he gave her the most amazing, beautiful flower arrangement for her birthday,” a source tells People of the gift. “They are celebrating with her family today.”

“Kourtney still seems very happy with Travis. He is very into her,” the source adds. “He constantly gives her compliments and attention. You can tell he is thrilled to be dating her. Kourtney is soaking it all up and enjoying life.” Cool, guess engagement is imminent!

An Entertainment Tonight source gets Scott Disick’s POV on how he’s feeling about Kourtney and Travis’s relationship. In short: Scott is chilling and doesn’t think Kourtney will be pushing him out of her life anytime soon.

“Scott knows he always has a special place in Kourtney’s heart and that he can’t ever be replaced and will always be in the picture since he’s the father of their children,” the source says. “He isn’t threatened by Kourtney and Travis’s relationship at this point.”

February 20, 2021

Trav and Kourt are taking a page from the Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly book of romance by engaging in some serious twin flame lingo. Travis posts a note that Kourtney left him to his Instagram Stories, which reads, “To lots of fun adventures. May we destroy each other completely. Love, Kourtney.”

Sounds familiar? It should, because a few days earlier, Travis posted this to his Twitter:

Kourtney and Travis go out for dinner in Los Angeles, and they pack on the cutest PDA. Lucky for us, an E! News source dishes all the adorable details of their outing.

“They seemed completely taken with one another as if they were the only two people in the world,” the source says. “They seem very connected, very close. Travis took her hand and they giggled as they started having a little thumb war with one another. It was playful and sweet. They were talking constantly and very engaged in one another. It seems like such a natural fit, being that they have been friends for so long. There was no awkwardness.”

Yep, too cute not to ship.

February 2, 2021

Kourt reveals that someone in her life went through the trouble of cropping her bikini-clad bod into a lock-screen photo. And although it’s pretty believable that Kourt would have her own bod as her lock screen (shoot, I def would if my abs looked that good), she makes a point to note, “P.S. This lock screen does not belong to me.”

Instagram

Podcast account @NotSkinnyButNotFat is the first to make the Travis connection here, theorizing that it’s actually his lock screen (which checks out, TBH):

Travis is very smitten with Kourtney and has been for a while.”

Yeah, and about those poolside Palm Springs pictures (try saying that five times fast)? “They’re in Palm Springs together. They’ve been dating for about a month or two,” a separate source tells People. “They’ve been friends for a long time but it’s turned romantic.”

January 23, 2021

Fans of Travis’s and Kourtney’s notice that their faves’ Instagram activity looks kiiinda sus. Kourt posts this picture of the poolside view from Kris Jenner’s home in Palm Springs:

Travis confesses that he definitely had a crush on Kourtney’s younger sister Kim Kardashian back in 2006. Despite dating Kim’s employer—hotel heiress Paris Hilton—Travis says he couldn’t keep his eyes off her (which is kinda awk now, LOL).

“How could you not stare at Kim? Mind you, I enjoyed hanging out with Paris, but I love curvy girls,” he tells Us Weekly at the time. “Kim was eye candy. I was in no way disrespectful to Paris, but I couldn’t keep my eyes off Kim!”

“I had a crush on her and we were flirtatious but nothing ever happened,” Travis adds. “I don’t know! She was so kind and polite, I just felt like being a perfect gentleman around her. It was a trip!”

And not to alarm you or anything, but Travis is pretty much the reason Keeping Up With the Kardashians is a thing. In 2005, Travis’s own reality show, Meet the Barkers, was on television, which is why Kim hit him up for advice.

“Kim was like, ‘I really want to do this reality show. We’re supposed to do it with Ryan Seacrest. I just think my family’s interesting,’” Travis recalls. “I gave her the best advice I could but I still remember the conversation like yesterday: ‘I think my family is interesting and it could be something.’ Well, you were absolutely right!” Travis and Kim remain close throughout the aughts, and he becomes super close to the rest of the fam since they all live in Calabasas, California. And the rest, as they say, is history.

That’s all we have for Travis and Kourtney’s timeline, but be sure to check back here for additional Instagram Stories and cute updates about their ’ship!
