The rumors began when Barker and ex-wife, Shanna Moakler's daughter, Alabama, shared a screenshot of a message allegedly penned by her mom on a since-removed Instagram Story. In the message, Moakler claimed to have "divorced Travis because I caught him having an affair with Kim! Now he’s in love with her sister…It’s all gross…I’m not the bad guy!"

The 15-year-old put Moakler on blast in the caption. "Everybody thinks my mother is amazing , Matthew [Rondeau] is nothing but awful to her not only that but he cheats on her , My mom has never completely been in my life , can you guys stop painting her out to be an amazing Mom. Did your moms ask to see you on mother's day cause mine didn't? I'm done keeping it a secret, reality shows," she wrote, as previously reported by OK!.

"It’s a shame that she continues to spread lies because she is clearly bitter her ex is happy and has moved on," another insider said of Moakler. "It’s extremely hurtful to her kids how she is behaving. Hopefully she gets the help that she needs and can eventually find happiness."

Kourtney and Travis were first linked together in January and then went Instagram official in February. Sources have since told OK! that marriage and kids could be on the cards for them.

Kourtney "fully believes this isn't just a honeymoon phase, but that Travis is the man she's going to share her dreams with," a pal spilled, while those close to the 45-year-old said "he's been telling everyone he's hit the jackpot with Kourtney," and has already started ring shopping.
