The Blink 182 drummer told Drew Barrymore what makes his relationship with the Kardashian so special.

Travis Barker has opened up about his relationship with Kourtney Kardashian.

The Blink 182 frontman appeared on The Drew Barrymore Show where he was quizzed about his career, his new wellness brand and his new love.

Asked whether he thinks it's best to date someone who also has kids, the All The Small Things rocker replied: "I would date girls that didn't have kids and I'd find it kind of hard because [...] I think they would have trouble understanding, '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 someone who's a great mum, who's a great friend. You don't have to worry about those things. It comes natural. It's just a maturity thing."

He added: "And I also really like missing someone and cherishing the time I'm going to spend with them instead of every day [...] Especially in the beginning of the relationship. I feel like missing someone is so important".
