Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and model and reality star Kourtney Kardashian are Instagram official. Maybe rock stars dating models is a cliche. But only because it happens so often. Some of those romances are passionate and short-lived, while others are enduring and all-encompassing. David Bowie said it best when he said: 'You would think that a rock star being married to a supermodel would be one of the greatest things in the world. It is.' Image Credit: Instagram

It started with actress-model Megan Fox starring in Machine Gun Kelly's video for 'Bloody Valentine'. And now the two are so in love that MGK wears a necklace with Fox's blood in it. The two can also be heard discussing their whirlwind romance on MGK's album, on the interlude 'Banyan Tree', where Fox says: "That was four months ago, that we were right here, and I met you. That's not possible. Like you just got my initials tattooed on you. And I got your nickname tattooed on me." Image Credit: Instagram
