Shanna Moakler and her two children with ex Travis Barker have a history of clashing on social media. The former pageant queen welcomed her son Landon and daughter Alabama in 2003 and 2005, respectively. After two years of marriage, she and the Blink 182 rocker briefly separated in 2006 and ultimately ended their relationship for good in 2008.
When the songwriter began a relationship with Kourtney Kardashian in early 2021, a source informed us that he and Moakler were successfully co-parenting their children. In February 2021, the insider mentioned that she wishes Travis nothing but the best.
Additionally, another source shared that Travis and Kourtney's children, Mason, Penelope, and Reign, have developed a strong bond. Their close friendship, formed while living in the same neighborhood, has resulted in Kourtney and Travis spending significant time together.
Moakler revealed in an interview that she held no resentment towards her ex and the reality TV star. She emphasized that her main concern was the well-being of her children and as long as they were happy and well taken care of, she was content.

Moakler proceeded to share with Us about the arrangement they have for custody, expressing her joy over her "wonderful relationship" with Landon and Alabama.
"It's quite different now that they are teenagers, not like when they were infants," the Rhode Island native remarked. "I believe they prefer spending time with their friends and experiencing their teenage years rather than being with either of their parents at this stage. Regardless of our relationship status, whether we are friends or acquaintances, Travis and I always prioritize our children above everything else."
Moakler's children started expressing their disapproval of her parenting on various social media platforms, such as leaving critical comments on her Instagram posts and creating TikTok videos. In response, her boyfriend, Matthew Rondeau, came to her defense in an interview with Life & Style in May 2021.
