According to TMZ, the Blink-182 drummer had showed up at the West Hills Hospital and Medical Center with his wife Kourtney Kardashian. While he initially went there owing to some health issues, the medical team felt that he needed additional care, which is why the 46-year-old was transported to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in LA.

TMZ released pictures showing Barker being wheeled on a stretcher with his wife Kourtney by his side.

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker got married at a Las Vegas chapel

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker got married in an intimate wedding ceremony at a Las Vegas chapel on May 22, 2022. They were visiting the city for the Grammys when they decided to tie the knot.

According to the news, Barker made sure not to let any of their guests take any pictures during the ceremony, and hired a photographer and security to keep the event private.

It was also reported that the two insisted on having an Elvis Presley impersonator officiate their marriage. They later held a ceremony for friends and family at Castello Brown in Portofino, Italy.

Kourtney wore a white, corseted Dolce & Gabbana mini-dress with lace detailing on its sleeves, bottom, and sides. The dress was paired with a long dramatic veil that had a depiction of the Virgin Mary and the words "Family Loyalty Respect" embroidered over it.

She later changed into a shorter version of the dress and replaced the theatrical veil with a shorter headpiece for her reception.

It was later revealed that the couple had originally married on May 15 in a Santa Barbara courtroom but decided to have a few other ceremonies for their close ones.
