Days prior to Travis sharing the love letter, Kourtney made their relationship—which comes after years of the two being neighbors and good friends—Instagram official. As a source told E! in late January, the Poosh founder “has always been attracted to how Travis is as a parent.”
“He’s an amazing, hands-on dad, and Kourtney loves that about him,” the insider added.
On The Drew Barrymore Show, Travis shared a similar sentiment about Kourtney after the actress-turned-host asked for advice on dating as a parent.
“Up until now, I would, you know, date girls that didn’t have kids, and I find it kind of hard,” the father of two explained. “I think they would have trouble understanding, ‘Well, why don’t you want to go to dinner every night with me?’ or ‘Why don’t you want to see me every night?'”
“And now, I’m spending time with a woman who’s a great mom; who’s, like, a great friend,” he continued. “And I just, you don’t have to worry about any of those things. It just comes natural. It’s like a maturity thing.”
