Barker and Kardashian have been dating all of this year and are very serious. A source spoke to Entertainment Tonight in May about Barker’s hopes to eventually marry Kardashian.

“Getting engaged and married one day has definitely been a topic of conversation between Kourtney and Travis,” the source said. “Travis would absolutely love to tie the knot with Kourtney, but Kourtney hasn’t been sure that’s the step she wants to take in their relationship right now. She is extraordinarily happy and doesn’t feel the need or want the pressure of getting married. There are a lot of other factors that concern her if they were to take their relationship to that next level, one of them being Scott [Disick] and more importantly, her kids and what that adjustment would mean for them.”

“It could be a lot to process, even though everyone sees that Kourtney is undeniably in love with Travis,” the source continued. “Kourtney sees herself loving this moment and is just taking everything one day at a time and enjoying their time together.”

Barker spoke last week about Kardashian’s impact getting him to fly again for the first time after he survived a deadly 2008 plane crash in an interview with Nylon.

Their traveling now, “it’s still something very new to me, but having something that gives me the strength and hope to be able to overcome things that were so traumatic in my life, it just says a ton,” he said. “She’s definitely that for me. I’m invincible when I’m with her. It’s like I never dreamed, I never even considered flying again.”
