Travis Barker, drummer for Blink-182 and husband of Kourtney Kardashian, finds himself at the center of controversy after social media users noticed he “liked” provocative vacation photos posted by his son Landon Barker’s girlfriend, model Skyla Sanders.
The Post That Sparked Outrage
On June 29, Skyla Sanders shared a carousel of vacation snaps—including beach shots and a striking bed pose in a revealing bikini. Some photos also featured her and Landon cuddled together. Despite her son’s presence, internet sleuths zeroed in on Travis’s like appearing among the reactions—triggering swift backlash.
Fan Fury on Reddit
Reddit users wasted no time criticizing:
“Absolutely gross! He should definitely know better!!”
“That’s not creepy at all…” (sarcastically)
“Yike, ew gross.”
“Weird behavior 🙈”
“Have you seen the stuff he posts? This man has no shame.”
Some users took a softer stance:
“He can still look at the thirst trap without liking it.”
“His son appears in the photos too—he might just like family content.”
Discussion threads heated up as commentators revisited past criticisms about Travis’s social media conduct and boundaries.
Who Is Skyla Sanders? Who Is Landon Barker?
- Skyla Sanders, aged 20, is the daughter of director Rupert Sanders and model Liberty Ross. She has been dating Landon for several months, and the couple went public with their relationship in May 2025.
- Landon Barker, 21, is the son of Travis Barker and modeling star Shanna Moakler. A musician who contributed vocals to the 2022 track “Die in California,” he recently released solo work and has openly shared his life on social media.
Social Media Fallout: What Fans Are Saying
Many Instagram users echoed the Reddit outrage:
- On Skyla’s post, users posted screenshots of Travis’s like with comments such as “six-second double tap—gross” and “dad should know better.”
- Others countered: “He doesn’t even follow her. Only ever liked two posts—both with his son.”
The Broader Backdrop: Patterns and Reactions
Travis has previously come under fire for social media behavior—particularly liking posts from other women, including his daughter Alabama’s and, earlier, followers speculated about his interactions with other minors.
Some Redditors connected the current controversy to Travis’s personal reputation online, citing old posts and allegations of inappropriate behavior.
At the same time, defenders highlight that many parents like children’s posts without mal-intent and note that the images included his son. Others argue he simply supports family content.
In Summary
Travis Barker’s Instagram like on his son’s girlfriend’s provocative vacation photos may have been accidental click or parental gesture—but it reignited a wave of criticism and conversation about social media boundaries in high-profile families. The incident shines a light on how even minor actions in the digital age can trigger public discussion on taste, intent, and family optics.
