Kourtney Kardashian’s transformation since marrying Travis Barker is nothing short of shocking. The oldest Kardashian sister used to wear neutral tones and have a relaxed style. Now, she’s all about leather, eyeliner, and public makeouts. Fans on social media say the shift feels drastic — and more than a little off.
“She completely changed her style and personality,” one user commented. “It’s like cosplay for a relationship.” Another added, “She seems happy, but I can’t shake how different this is from who she was.”
Yet others argue this may be the real Kourtney finally escaping years of emotional turmoil. “The person we knew was stuck in a manipulative relationship. Maybe this is her finally living,” one fan speculated. Still, the debate rages on: authentic growth or a full-blown identity crisis?
Fans Call Out Travis’s Baggage
Despite the couple’s ultra-lovey demeanor, fans are far from convinced everything is perfect behind the scenes. Multiple Redditors brought up Travis’s past. “He was a serial cheater. A s*x addict. Let’s not act like he’s a reformed saint,” wrote one. Some noted his past with ex Shanna Moakler. They highlighted worrying similarities in his relationships.
“He recycles sentimental moments. What he did with Shanna, he’s now doing with Kourtney,” another user noted. “It’s giving ‘copy-paste romance’ energy.”
His recent Instagram post featuring a bouncing anime girl only amplified concerns. One commenter bluntly declared, “Kourt, this ain’t it.”
Over-the-Top PDA or Just Plain Inappropriate?
One of the biggest sources of discomfort isn’t the aesthetic makeover — it’s the couple’s excessive physical affection. And fans are not mincing words. “Their kids have literally asked them to stop the PDA. They ignore them,” one wrote.
Another piled on: “It’s exhibitionist. No one consents to be part of their dry-humping routine.” Some called it performative and narcissistic. Others said it’s flat-out gross. “No one wants to see that. Especially their children.”
Even Fans Who ‘Support’ Them Have Concerns
Even those rooting for the couple expressed concern over the power dynamic. “She’s made all the changes. He just lives the same life,” one comment stated. Others say Kourtney seems far more invested. “He wrote about being obsessed with Kim. Not a word about Kourtney,” a fan recalled. “She was clearly not his first choice.”
There’s also speculation the couple’s romance is more strategic than genuine. “They won’t split unless something major happens. They’ll just get quieter, more private — and keep up appearances,” one Redditor guessed.
Another simply put it: “They are weird. I can’t put my finger on it. But something just feels off.”
