Since Travis Barker was seriously injured in a plane crash his ex-wife Shanna Moakler has been by his side with their two children, son Landon, 5, and daughter Alabama, 3. There were rumors in January that the two were going to remarry, which sounded suspiciously like Shanna was leaking the news herself. Now she’s spoken to US Weekly to confirm that they will remarry.
Rocker Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler are planning to wed again — just a year after finalizing their divorce.
The couple ended its two-year marriage in 2006, but became close again after the Blink-182 drummer almost died in a plane crash in South Carolina last September.
Barker and pal Adam “DJ AM” Goldstein were the only survivors of the tragedy, which left four dead.
And the rocker and his ex admit the crash was the inspiration behind their decision to become husband and wife once again.
Former beauty queen Moakler tells Us Weekly magazine, “We would like to renew our vows and have another wedding.
“It’s not so much about the wedding but about having a celebration of each other and getting through all the crazy things we’ve been through.
“When you almost lose a loved one, it makes you appreciate things you took for granted.”
It sounds like Travis Barker might have learned a few things since his divorce – like, next time you marry that crazy former beauty queen who threw a party when you divorced, don’t marry her for real. ‘A celebration of each other’ seems to imply to me that this wedding is going to be mostly symbolic, which most weddings perhaps should be in Hollywood. Shanna has been wearing her wedding rings for months now, which is also symbolic as we haven’t seen a marriage license or pictures.
Shanna’s myspace has her listed as being ‘in a relationship’, while Tarvis’ says he is ‘single’. This doesn’t necessarily mean anything. Travis also has some very gory pictures on his myspace of the inside of his arm getting further surgery related to his plane crash. He has no feeling in his left hand due to his ulner nerve being compressed. This was caused by either the impact or heat at the time. Travis probably has a long time before he completely recovers from the crash, if he ever does. He might have Shanna by his side if that’s any comfort to him.

If they marry again, they will, most certainly, divorce again. Unless you truly fix what went wrong in the first place instead of sweeping it under the carpet, history will repeat itself. These two don’t seem like rocket scientists, so I think they are just prolonging the inevitable.
Does anyone really care any more about these two?? Are they really news worthy?? Please … unless they’ve taken the steps to fix the marriage (As Nanster said) we’ll hear about the “symbolic” divorce & watch it play out on MySpace again.
Shall we wait to hear what Travis says.
Agree’d know nothing about them other than their divorce was fun to watch through the media.
If I were in a dysfunctional “rock ‘n roll” relationship, that just recently ended in divorce and was rekindled by tragedy and there were kids involved I would save the whole getting remarried thing until a few years down the road when everyone has finished their therapy sessions and reality sets in again. They seem to always do things spur of the moment. Just slip the wedding rings back on and move back in with each other with out the stress of actually being married lurking in the back of your mind. I’m sure there is love there but do we really care enough about these celebrities to watch them get married and divorced again?
Live and let live! I hope they’ve matured and I wish them luck and happiness with their kiddos!
GOOD! Their kids deserve to have both parents raising them. I wish them the very best of luck and hope they get some counseling to work through whatever their issues were.
i think they should be with each other because there the only 2 for each other they are crazy thou for getting married again just live together lolol
Good! Travis was an excellent husband and father to all of the children, including Shanna’s daughter by Oscar De La Hoya. I hope that while they were separated, Shanna grew up and learned how to put her family first.
Sounds like they want to be the next Pam and Tommy.
Who truly gives a shit, there are bigger “real” issues going on in the world. Puhhhhleze.
