Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker have legally married at a courthouse in Santa Barbara, California, merely weeks after holding a private wedding in Las Vegas without a marriage licence following the Grammy Awards 2022.
The couple wed on Sunday in front of their security team and a few loved ones, including maternal grandmother Mary Jo Campbell and Barker's father, Randy, according to reports.
Photos circulating in entertainment media publications online, including TMZ, which first reported the news, show Kardashian in a white, short dress with heart-shaped embellishment, plus a veil, while the Blink-182 drummer donned an all-black tuxedo.
They were later seen driving off in a black convertible with a sign that said "just married" hanging off the bumper, according to reports.
Kardashian, 43, and Barker, 46, had been dating for less than a year when the rocker got down on one knee on a beach in Montecito, California in October 2021. He had set up an enormous arrangement of roses and candles in the sand, which surrounded the couple as he proposed.
The occasion was captured for Hulu TV show The Kardashians.
On April 4, the pair walked down the aisle in Las Vegas in the early hours following the 64th Annual Grammy Awards at the One Love Wedding Chapel. The couple stood at the altar before an Elvis Presley impersonator, who serenaded them and officiated the ceremony. The marriage was not technically legal, however, as they had no licence.
Sunday's event was a low-key affair, but it has also been reported that the couple will have a proper wedding ceremony in Italy in the near future.
They're going to be having an actual wedding ceremony in Italy in the near future.
"They had to legally get married first ahead of their big Italian wedding, which is happening very soon," a source told People. "All the details are set and the whole family, including all the kids, are very excited."
Kardashian's mother, Kris Jenner, told the publication on May 9 that she's been "sworn to secrecy" regarding her eldest daughter's nuptials.
"If I say one thing about a wedding, I am gonna be in so much trouble," she said.

Islamophobia definition
A widely accepted definition was made by the All Party Parliamentary Group on British Muslims in 2019: “Islamophobia is rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness.” It further defines it as “inciting hatred or violence against Muslims”.
TEACHERS' PAY - WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Pay varies significantly depending on the school, its rating and the curriculum. Here's a rough guide as of January 2021:
- top end schools tend to pay Dh16,000-17,000 a month - plus a monthly housing allowance of up to Dh6,000. These tend to be British curriculum schools rated 'outstanding' or 'very good', followed by American schools
- average salary across curriculums and skill levels is about Dh10,000, recruiters say
- it is becoming more common for schools to provide accommodation, sometimes in an apartment block with other teachers, rather than hand teachers a cash housing allowance
- some strong performing schools have cut back on salaries since the pandemic began, sometimes offering Dh16,000 including the housing allowance, which reflects the slump in rental costs, and sheer demand for jobs
- maths and science teachers are most in demand and some schools will pay up to Dh3,000 more than other teachers in recognition of their technical skills
- at the other end of the market, teachers in some Indian schools, where fees are lower and competition among applicants is intense, can be paid as low as Dh3,000 per month
- in Indian schools, it has also become common for teachers to share residential accommodation, living in a block with colleagues

What the law says
Micro-retirement is not a recognised concept or employment status under Federal Decree Law No. 33 of 2021 on the Regulation of Labour Relations (as amended) (UAE Labour Law). As such, it reflects a voluntary work-life balance practice, rather than a recognised legal employment category, according to Dilini Loku, senior associate for law firm Gateley Middle East.
“Some companies may offer formal sabbatical policies or career break programmes; however, beyond such arrangements, there is no automatic right or statutory entitlement to extended breaks,” she explains.
“Any leave taken beyond statutory entitlements, such as annual leave, is typically regarded as unpaid leave in accordance with Article 33 of the UAE Labour Law. While employees may legally take unpaid leave, such requests are subject to the employer’s discretion and require approval.”
If an employee resigns to pursue micro-retirement, the employment contract is terminated, and the employer is under no legal obligation to rehire the employee in the future unless specific contractual agreements are in place (such as return-to-work arrangements), which are generally uncommon, Ms Loku adds.
