HIS 2008 TRAUMATIC CRASH

Before falling in love with Kourtney, the father of 3, did not fly and took alternative modes of transportation. He was known to turn down opportunities that required air travel, which would limit the places he could tour and perform.
He flew for the first time with her to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, in August 2021.
Now, Travis is living his life to the fullest with his wife and soon-to-be baby mama. The newlyweds announced their pregnancy at a concert in June.
