Have you ever been casually scrolling your news feed when an image of Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker tongue kissing pops up out of nowhere to ruin your day? It turns out there’s a genuine reason why the newlyweds kiss that way. 

In the new episode of The Kardashians, Kourtney revealed all while preparing for the Met Gala (as per Page Six).

“I don’t want to get lipstick all over him and I don’t want to ruin my lipstick, but we also don’t want to not kiss, so we’ll kiss with our tongues,” she confessed. “That’s how we kiss… that’s why we kiss that way.”

So there you have it. Mystery solved. The next time you see Kourtney and Travis kissing, you won’t be so aghast. And if you’re currently in a couple, maybe Kourtney’s just provided you with a handy PDA tip. I wonder if it’s the same reason Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly act that way in public.

The eldest Kardashian sister married the blink-182 legend earlier this year, and the pair later held a glamorous wedding ceremony in Italy.

It’s set to be a big couple of years for Kourtney’s husband on the music front. The music world recently came to a stop with the news that the classic blink-182 lineup – Travis alongside Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge – were reuniting for a mammoth world tour.

The Australian leg of will take place in February and March 2024, with more and more shows being added over the past few weeks due to the overwhelmingly huge demand for tickets.
