Travis Barker Sweetly Asked Robert Kardashian Sr.’s Grave For Permission To Marry Kourtney

Travis Barker wanted to make Kourtney Kardashian’s parents aware of his proposal plans late last year.

During Thursday’s episode of the Hulu series The Kardashians, viewers witnessed Travis, 46, calling Kris Jenner asking for permission to marry her 43-year-old daughter.

Kris went on to reveal how Travis had also asked Kourtney and Kim’s late father, Robert Kardashian Sr., for his blessing.

“He asked for her hand in marriage, and I was like, literally, I want to cry now,” Kris, 66, said while getting her makeup done in Kim’s dressing room. “It was so sweet and so tender. And then he said he went to your dad’s grave and asked your dad [for permission], and I just lost it.”

Kris added through tears: “It’s all happy, I just wish your dad was here to see it. I can hardly believe that it’s the first time that she’s getting married.”

“That’s really crazy that she hasn’t been married before,” said Kim, 41, before joking, “While I’ve had enough for all of us!”

Robert Sr. died at age 59 on Sept. 30, 2003, less than eight weeks after he was diagnosed with esophageal cancer. In addition to Kim and Kourtney, he also shared daughter Khloé Kardashian and son Rob Kardashian Jr. with Kris.

Kourtney’s sisters also went on to discuss how ex, Scott Disick — with whom she shares kids Mason, 12, Penelope, 9, and Reign, 7 — would likely react to her upcoming engagement.

“He’s gonna have a hard time, but … they can’t put their life on hold just to tiptoe around him,” Khloé, 37, told Ellen DeGeneres ahead of an appearance on her talk show.

“No, no, I don’t think so either,” DeGeneres, 64, responded. “I just think it’s gonna be [hard], especially because she said she didn’t want to get married.”

“That’s the part that I feel bad about,” Khloé said. “But I don’t know, you snooze you lose.”

And, while driving to Santa Barbara together for Kourtney’s surprise proposal, Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner also spoke to the situation.

“I wonder if Scott knows,” Kylie, 24, said on their road trip.

“I know, it worries me sometimes because I just don’t know how stable he is right now,” Kendall, 26, noted. “I haven’t spoken to him on that sort of a level in a long time, so I don’t know where he’s at in his mental health.”

Echoing sister Khloé’s earlier sentiments, Kylie added, “Kourtney obviously has to continue to live her life and be happy.”
