I advertise as 24-hours but they wanted to make sure I was still there,” he told the outlet on Tuesday, April 5. “They paid and they requested Elvis Presley, that was mandatory. I called back 5 minutes later and was like, I got an Elvis, and there they were.”

They can’t wait. … I think people at the hotel thought they were setting up for The Bachelorette or something.”
The Safely founder continued, “Kourtney and Travis, they really are made for each other. They’re the cutest couple, they’re so in love and, you know, they let us know they’re so in love. Constantly.”

The musician’s relationship with the mom of three — she shares Mason, 12, Penelope, 9, and Reign, 7, with ex Scott Disick — continued to heat up as the pair’s relationship got more serious as they shared plenty of PDA, met each other’s families and got even closer to one another.

As the duo’s relationship continued to heat up, the former pageant queen, 46, previously told Us that she wasn’t “bothered” over their love as long as her children weren’t excluded from their lives.
“I don’t even find [their actions] even scandalous or whatever,” Moakler exclusively revealed in May 2021. “Like, if you’re in love and you want to show that off, go for it. I don’t have any feelings toward either one of them, like, I’m not jealous of them, I don’t think about them. If they want to run off into the sunset like by all means, but you know, don’t alienate my children in the process.”

“What was weird is that they were posting about a movie that Travis and I basically bonded over. I called him Clarence in that movie. We named our daughter after the character Alabama in the movie,” the former Miss New York USA previously told UseIn May 2021. “I walked down the aisle to ‘You’re So Cool’ from True Romance. Our first dance at the wedding was to the love song. True Romance.”
