Shanna Moakler and Travis Barker’s marriage ended after four years

Moakler and Barker appeared like an odd pairing from the start for many outsiders looking in. With Barker as the drummer with Blink-182 and Moakler being a former Miss USA, many wondered how the pair would work, but they maintained their love would last.

Barker and Moakler wed in a gothic style wedding in 2004 a year after welcoming their first child. The following year, their second child was born.

Their marriage was documented on the MTV reality series Meet the Barkers and showcased the couple’s volatile arguments and intense makeup sessions. They split in 2006 and slung allegations toward each other, with Barker alleging Moakler cheated and Moakler claiming Barker had mental health issues.

But Barker’s 2008 near-fatal car crash would make the pair give their love a second shot. The reunion was short-lived and they split again, beginning a nasty custody battle.
