Despite the hiccups in her personal life, actress and model Shanna Moakler is always upbeat and busy with work. She is balancing her work, motherhood, and her relationship beautifully, while making big strides in her professional and personal life. Her tumultuous relationship with ex-husband Travis Barker seems to be over now, as the two co-parent their kids.
The complex relationship status of Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler has kept their fans, the media, and police on edge, ever since the couple got married on October 30, 2004. Barker is the drummer for Blink-182, and was a member of the bands +44, Box Car Racer, as well as The Transplants. Moakler, on the other hand, first found fame as a beauty pageant winner and then as a model for Playboy magazine. Travis Barker’s ex-wife had an uneven career over the years as an actress and model, with her personal life often in disarray. She has constantly been in the public eye for both her professional achievements and her personal matters.
A Beauty Queen
Born on March 28, 1975 in Providence, Rhode Island to Gail Moakler and John Moakler III, Shanna Moakler’s age is 42. She is of German, Portuguese, and Irish descent and was a tomboy who loved to play outdoors as a child. She attended Barrington High School, but moved to Miami after graduating to pursue a career in modeling. After living in New York for some time (where she was named Miss New York USA and represented New York in the Miss USA pageant in 1995), Moakler moved to Los Angeles. In December 2001, she was named Playmate of the Month for Playboy magazine.
