ok.co.uk:

Travis Barker has addressed his past comments about having a crush on Kim Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian 's sister, after his remarks resurfaced.

The Blink-182 drummer, who married Kourtney last year and is expecting a child with her, spoke out against speculation that Kourtney and Kim might be in a feud, deeming it "ridiculous." He acknowledged having previously shared in his memoir, Can I Say, that he found Kim attractive while she was working as Paris Hilton’s stylist in 2006.The musician wrote in 2016 he was “secretly checking out Kim”, adding that he told a friend “I don’t care if she’s the closet girl, she’s f*****g hot.” However, Travis explained that he had discussed these issues openly to move past them and that Kourtney is aware of their previous conversations.

He told the Los Angeles Times: “You give people a little information and they think they’ve solved the mystery of “this is why they’re fighting,” It’s just so ridiculous.” He emphasised that it was a part of his past and that no harmful intent was behind those discussions.

He continued: “I obviously shared all that stuff because I wanted to move past it. It was therapeutic for me. … That’s her sister.
