Shanna Moakler admitted that she used to have a «competition» with her ex-husband, Travis Barker, about who was the better parent during a recent interview on SiriusXM’s «Jeff Lewis Live». «But I gave up, I never really tried to compete. I gave up a long time ago… I was like, 'You win. You’re the winner,'» the 49-year-old stated.
They first got married in 2004 and welcomed Landon in 2003, Alabama Barker in 2005, and cared for Atiana De La Hoya — whom Shanna shared with ex Oscar De La Hoya.
«This is a topic that I think a lot of people haven’t really thought deeply about and don’t have a clear understanding of, and it happens with both men and women. And with mothers and fathers», - she said in the episode.
Shanna acknowledged that Blink-182 member is a «very powerful public figure», - which makes achieving his level difficult. «I think it really happens when you’re dealing with a narcissist or a controlling personality», - Shanna expressed.
Despite their breakup, Shanna shared that they still adhere to co-parenting. «We co-parent if there are any issues with our children… that’s one thing we will communicate about, but otherwise we have no friendship», - she said.
«In the end, even though the public and the media can say whatever they want about me as a person or about my decisions, when it comes to me as a mother, I don’t care what anyone says or thinks. I only care about my children, my relationships with my children», - Shanna added.
In addition to her past marriage, Shanna also shared her emotions about her ex-partner's marriage to Kourtney Kardashian. Although she had previously expressed her indifference to the current couple, she told Jeff that she was «happy» for them for having their baby, Rocco, and even congratulated him. «I'm happy for him — he’s in a good place. The kids love the new baby Rocco… You know, my daughter is obsessed with him and sends me cute photos and so on».
This is not the first time Shanna has spoken out about Travis and Kourtney’s relationship. During a previous podcast «Miss Understood with Rachel Uchitel», - Shanna said, «I really have nothing positive to say about it… It’s not because I’m bitter, and I definitely don’t envy them»
