However, Kardashian and Barker have now reportedly gotten married (legally this time) at a small ceremony in Santa Barbara.

This is everything you need to know.

When did they get married?

Kardashian and Barker reportedly got married at a small ceremony in Santa Barbara, California.

Photos and video published by TMZ and People showed Kardashian, 43, and Barker, 46, outside “a courthouse in Anacapa”.

The reality TV star wore a traditional white veil and a short white dress with a love-heart decoration near the bust. Barker, meanwhile, wore a black suit.

Video shared by TMZ and other media outlets showed the couple in a black convertible with the customary “just married” sign tied to the back grill – as well as tins which trailed behind the vehicle.

According to TMZ, the small ceremony was attended by Kardashian’s grandmother and Barker’s father. The entertainment site also reported that the reality star and Blink-182 drummer will have a larger wedding ceremony in Italy in the “near future”.

Wait, didn’t they get married in Vegas?

Many may have thought that the pair got married in Las Vegas, and for good reason - the couple did indeed have a ceremony at the One Love Chapel in Nevada with an Elvis impersonator in early April, following the Grammy Awards.

However, that was simply a “practice” wedding with the two not legally wed until now.

Confirming the news on 7 April, Kardashian posted a series of snaps from the impromptu event, showing them wearing matching black outfits and sunglasses.

She told her 168 million Instagram followers the wedding had taken place “with no licence”.

In the state of Nevada it is required that couples obtain a marriage licence before the union is official.

The reality TV star wrote: “Found these in my camera roll.

“Once upon a time in a land far, far away (Las Vegas) at 2am, after an epic night and a little tequila, a queen and her handsome king ventured out to the only open chapel with an Elvis and got married (with no licence).

“Practice makes perfect.”

Barker at the time posted an emoji showing a man wearing a tuxedo, while the bride’s sister Kim shared a wedding emoji.

Barker popped the question in October last year at a beachside hotel in Montecito, California.

The union marks Kardashian’s first time getting married, and it will Barker’s third.

Barker’s first marriage lasted nine months and was to Melissa Kennedy.

While Barker had other aspirations as a child outside of drumming, he found himself constantly coming back to the instrument.

Talking to Ultimate Guitar in a 2006 interview, he said: “I had goals as a child. There were other things that I wanted to do. At one time I wanted to be a professional skateboarder. I wanted to be a professional surfer.

“But I always migrated back to drums, though. That was the one thing that kind of flet like I was connected to and I could kind of understand.

“I could express myself better through my drums than I could anything else.”

In 2008, Barker was involved in a plane crash in which four of the six people on board died.

On 19 September 2008, the jet that Barker was on crashed during a take off from Columbia Metropolitan Airport in South Carolina. The plane had been due to fly Barker, DJ Adam Goldstein, personal assistant Chris Baker, security guard Che Still and two pilots to Van Nuys, California.

Only Barker and Goldstein survived the crash, which left the drummer with severe burns over 65% of his body. Less than a year later, Goldstein died from an overdose.

Talking to ABC News’ Chris Connelly in a Good Morning America interview in 2015, Barker described the pain he felt during and after the crash as “hell”.

He said: “The plane’s on fire and my hands are on fire so I unbuckle my seatbelt and I jump right into the jet, which holds all the fuel. I basically ignite my whole body in fire.

“I’m so soaked in jet fuel, there’s nothing I can do to put the fire out.”

Barker added: “I’m completely nude at this point… I’m running, grabbing my testicles, my genitals, because, I don’t know why, and then we realise, you know, we’re out of the plane and… the plane explodes.”

As a result of the crash, Barker spent more than 11 weeks in hospitals, and had to undergo a number of surgeries.

He was able to make a full recovery and even returned to the recording studio in November 2008.
