Playboy pinup Shana Moakler looks tiny next to tall son she had with Kourtney Kardashian's husband
Shanna Moakler shared her pride as a mom in a new Instagram post featuring her musician son.
The former Miss USA turned Playboy star, 50, couldn't stop gushing over her 21-year-old son Landon Barker during a sweet Bel-Air lunch date this week.
Shanna, who shares Landon and daughter Alabama, 18, with ex-husband Travis Barker, looked effortlessly chic in a white button-down and jeans as she posed beside her grown-up son, who towered over her in the photo.
She's also mom to 25-year-old Atiana De La Hoya from her previous relationship with boxing legend Oscar De La Hoya.
But it wasn't just a mother-son hangout—Landon's new girlfriend, 20-year-old Skyla Sanders (daughter of Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders), joined the outing too.
'Bel-Air lunch date with my favorite musician and his stunning girlfriend! @skylasanderss,' Shanna captioned the pics. 'Good vibes, great company, and yes—I left with shopping bags and a full heart. Being a mom to this handsome human is my forever flex.'
Landon and Alabama, of course, now call Kourtney Kardashian 'stepmom' after she married their dad Travis in 2022.
They tied the knot in Italy after a year-long courtship and a years-long friendship.
The Blink-182 drummer and the reality mogul also share 17-month-old son Rocky Thirteen Barker.
After several failed IVF attempts, the Lemme founder and music artist conceived naturally.
Parts of their journey to becoming parents together were documented on the Hulu reality series The Kardashians.
The two still have not shown their baby boy's face publicly, opting instead to only post photos teasing the back of his head.
In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Travis said: 'Unfortunately, someone finally got a photo of him, but we'd rather keep him out of the spotlight.'
The rock star admits he wishes he kept his older children out of the spotlight, adding, 'If I could do everything different, I would have done the same thing with my [older] kids.
On the latest season of the show, the firstborn of the Kardashian/Jenner clan confessed that she wants to be a 'stay-at-home mom.'
She also told viewers that she had been in a 'blissful baby bubble' and that she was 'loving being at home right now with my baby, going on walks, living in pajamas.'
Meanmwhile, Moakler is happily dating Days of Our Lives star Greg Vaughan.
In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, the former Playboy model spilled all about her relationship with the famous actor that she kept a secret for a year-and-a-half, what her kids think of her new love interest and revealed whether she's ready for marriage again.
Shanna debuted her new boyfriend, Greg, 51, on her 50th birthday on March 28, sharing with her followers a photo of her and the TV personality as they wore matching cowboy hats and gazed into each other's eyes.
Greg also shared with his followers his new relationship as he gave Shanna a birthday shoutout and wrote, 'The human heart has potential for deep contentment, joy and confidence… some stories don't fade with time… they wait for the right moment to be found again.'
Little do people know that they first met years ago and reconnected at an event that took place in November 2023 in Los Angeles hosted by Jason Momoa.
'Greg and I actually first met in 1994 in South Beach when we were both aspiring models. It was such an electric time to be there - full of energy, opportunity, and a lot of hustle.
'We were just two kids figuring it all out, and it's wild to think our story started way back then,' Shanna revealed to DailyMail.com in a new interview.
'Over the years, we'd run into each other in Los Angeles, on set, or through mutual friends, but nothing ever really lined up... until Jason Momoa's vodka launch in November 2023,' she continued.
Shanna and Greg kept their romance a secret for nearly a year-and-a-half - despite sparking rumors that they were an item in April 2024 when they were spotted in Los Angeles at a Black Keys Album Release Party.
'We've both been through the highs and lows of public relationships, and after living in the Hollywood spotlight for so long, we really just wanted something for us.
'No pressure, no headlines - just real moments, privately shared,' she explained.
'It's been so refreshing to build something healthy, peaceful, and full of joy without the noise. Sometimes the best love stories grow quietly and that's exactly what we needed.'

EXCLUSIVE Hilaria Baldwin breaks silence on rumors that she 'controls' husband Alec
Hilaria Baldwin has clapped back at haters who claim the she is controlling husband Alec Baldwin - jokingly saying she 'wishes' she could. The 41-year-old shocked fans in March when she snapped at her husband on the red carpet, sparking a fierce debate online about their relationship dynamic. However, the mother-of-seven has now cleared up the internet rumors, exclusively telling that as a woman, no matter what she does it is always going to be 'wrong.' 'Couldn't they have picked a different couple with a husband that's easier to control?' Hilaria told in a street interview. She claimed that for years, much of the focus has been on her husband's alleged temper, whereas now she feels critics have switched to branding her as controlling. 'The headlines over the years, and all of this stuff where people have poked on him, and then all of a sudden, I have this power,' she said. 'It kind of makes me feel like... am I winning? Is this a compliment?' she asked. She added that she feels as through the narrative 'flipped' because the rumor mill needed 'something new.' Hilaria continued: 'I also think, going in to what it is like being a woman, they pick at us. [No] matter what we're gonna do it wrong.' She also suggested people are confusing her being a supportive wife as her being controlling. 'If we're supportive, we're controlling. If we're not, we're cold,' she ranted. 'You can't win.' The reality star quickly brushed it off, saying she just 'has to ignore it.' 'I wish I could control things more,' Hilaria admitted. The couple were talking to Extra at the grand re-opening of Planet Hollywood in NYC last week alongside her actor husband, 66, when conversation turned to a potential second series of their reality TV show. As Hilaria went to respond, Alec jumped in with: 'The Hilaria Show.' She then added: 'No, I think we are going to see, you know, we're going to see how it feels to be out there.' The 30 Rock star then cut in to say: 'It's gonna be great. You're a winner.' They later mocked the response to the interview in an Instagram post in which Hilaria accused her husband of 'manterrupting' as he apologized for his behavior before puckering up for a kiss Seemingly furious at his interjection, she snapped: 'Oh my God. When I'm talking, you're not talking.' 'I'm sorry,' Alec said as Hilaria threw her hands up and repeated: 'When I'm talking, you're not talking.' She turned back to face the interviewer and joked: 'This is why we'll just have to cut him out of the show.' The cringeworthy confrontation sparked a fierce debate online, with some branding it a 'very uncomfortable dynamic.' Hilaria appeared on Today after the incident, where she seemingly doubled down on her remarks, expressing her frustration at not being able to voice her thoughts. Discussing why the Baldwins opened up their home for a new reality series, she explained: 'Since I met Alec a lot of people have spoken for me, have taken my narrative. I don't want that anymore. 'This is an example for my children to hold your head up high and take control of your own narrative and we did it during a very vulnerable time.' While many people online declared it the beginning of a relationship fail, 'fireworks' are the norm, according to sources close to the fiery couple who dismissed the humiliating interaction as nothing more than 'banter.' 'That was a true reflection of their relationship,' an insider told Daily Mail. 'They test each other. It may have looked concerning to some, but it was all playful banter. 'There is no harm. They both have strong personalities and that's why they're attracted to one another. 'Alec finds Hilaria captivating and he loves that she can take his humor because Alec is never reserved in anything he does and vice versa.' They later mocked the response to the interview in an Instagram post in which Hilaria accused her husband of 'manterrupting' as he apologized for his behavior. Alec admitted in the clip that he suffers from 'correctile dysfunction.' The video saw them engaging in a patronizing back-and-forth, with the yoga teacher–turned–reality star cuing up her husband's responses. 'And that is called — what's the word of the day?' Hilaria began after the audio had ended, setting Alec up to wearily reply: 'Manterrupting.' 'So, the whole point is that we interrupt each other all the time,' Hilaria finished as they concluded the video with a kiss.

How Meghan's pregnant twerking fuelled a bonkers conspiracy theory
If it was meant to silence the trolls then, well, it has had the opposite effect. The extraordinary 80-second video of the Duchess of Sussex, posted on Instagram to mark Princess Lilibet's fourth birthday, shows a heavily pregnant Meghan twerking. She is lip-syncing and gyrating to the Baby Mama Dance – a song that became a TikTok trend in which pregnant women showcased their dance moves – with a couple of clumsy cameos from Prince Harry. The video, shot in a hospital room, has been seen by some as a response to the absurd conspiracy theory that has swirled online since the birth of Archie in 2019: namely, that both Meghan's pregnancies were fake. 'Four years ago today,' reads the caption beneath the video. Meghan writes: 'Both of our children were a week past their due dates... so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn't work – there was only one thing left to do!' Some commentators – including The Telegraph 's own Camilla Tominey – have weighed in to say that, in labour, dropping it 'down down low' probably isn't the only thing left to do. For most women, in fact, the 40th week of a pregnancy is the point in their lives at which they'd be least likely to countenance such a move. The video, meanwhile, has only fuelled cruel rumours circulating on X, YouTube and Reddit: that Meghan was never really pregnant. According to these claims, she wore a 'Moonbump' – a brand of prosthetic baby bump – for photo opportunities, and hired a surrogate to carry her two children, now aged six and four, who are sixth and seventh in line to the throne respectively. It should go without saying that these theories are both baseless and bonkers. Social media sleuths, however, claim to have analysed the video of Meghan and Harry dancing and taken it as further evidence that she was never pregnant at all. For instance, they cite the lumpen shape under her black dress as proof of a prosthetic belly. This is easily debunked when I ask a midwife: 'This is likely to be cardiotocography [CTG] equipment, which continuously monitors the baby's heart rate and the mother's contractions,' she says. 'We use it in higher risk labours [ Meghan has spoken about how she has preeclampsia ].' Two sensors are placed on the mother's abdomen and secured round her bump with a strap. The theories only grow more outlandish. One claims that if Meghan had truly been pregnant, she wouldn't have been wearing a cannula in what they call 'a very weird place.' In reality, the Duchess's cannula, placed halfway up her arm, is standard practice. Another false claim insists that the Baby Mama Dance didn't become a trend until 2023 or 2024, despite online examples dating back to 2018. 'Unless Harry & Meghan can predict the future, how were they doing a dance in 2021 when it didn't exist as a trend?' one social media user wrote. Conspiracy theorists have also taken issue with her weight in the clip, suggesting that although her bump is large, the rest of her seems too slim to be pregnant. Meghan recently revealed on her podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, that she 'gained 65lb' (around four stone) in both her pregnancies. It doesn't look like it from the video, say the trolls. But Meghan wouldn't be the first pregnant woman whose weight gain appeared confined to her bump. There is an even more obvious rebuttal to some of the questions raised about the video, too: that extended labour can send you slightly doolally. It may not occur to most heavily pregnant women to film themselves twerking but, then, who can say they made it through an overdue pregnancy without behaviour that was at least a little out of character? 'I did this exact same thing to the same song,' one X user, Drea Humphrey, posted in Meghan's defence on Thursday. 'When you're that pregnant you don't care about looking bizarre.' Perhaps it seems odder still to have filmed this private moment – but Meghan was apparently partaking in an online trend in which thousands of other women posted similar videos. Nevertheless, posts peddling these conspiracy theories have racked up tens of thousands of views – in some cases, millions. By posting a video with more 'proof,' Meghan has inadvertently added fuel to the fire. 'Generally, the more you try and refute a conspiracy theory, the more you fuel the idea that there's something to it,' explains Sander van der Linden, prof of social psychology at the University of Cambridge. 'It legitimises it – why would you respond unless it's something credible? There are some exceptions, where people can successfully dismiss conspiracy theories with humour and sarcasm, which is maybe what [Meghan] was attempting to do here.' Unfortunately, though, all it has done is provide conspiracy theorists with more material to work with. 'In an age where all videos are suspect in terms of being AI-manipulated, it creates an extra cloud of confusion,' van der Linden says. 'It provides lots of material for people to cling onto, saying, 'Look, she's wearing a prosthetic bump,' or suggesting videos are deepfakes.' For a woman who has spoken candidly about the devastating impact online trolling has had, these rumours must be particularly hard for Meghan to take. Perhaps that's why this isn't the first time she appears to have attempted to debunk them: last month, in an Instagram mood board posted to celebrate her seventh wedding anniversary to Harry, she included an ultrasound photo and a picture of her bare bump. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Meghan, Duchess of Sussex (@meghan) These, too, were extensively analysed, with anonymous users claiming her stomach was too 'shiny' and looked like a prosthetic, and that the ultrasound picture, which did not have a date or name on it, was faked. These wild theories first emerged online in 2019 in the period before Prince Archie's birth. Photos of Meghan cradling her bump, which were regularly mocked by the tabloid media, sparked the outlandish hypothesis that she was wearing an inflatable belly. Trolls pored over videos of Meghan on official royal duties for any slips, folds or odd movements as proof. The conspiracy theory initially appeared 'on some obscure social media platform where people were congregating who hated Meghan and then made its way into the mainstream,' says van der Linden. 'There's an element of unfamiliarity here with pregnancies of women of colour in particular – there is less representation in the media and on TV shows and there's no clear benchmark. You see the same with Beyoncé, for example [who was subject to similar trolling]. If there's some uncertainty in terms of what people expect to see, there's more potential for rumour and exploitation.' The couple continued to break with royal tradition, as Archie was born at the Portland Hospital on Great Portland Street, rather than the Lindo Wing at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, where Prince Harry, the Prince of Wales, and Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis were all born. Meghan and Harry initially kept Archie's birth a secret – even from Buckingham Palace officials – and also did away with the time-honoured royal ritual of a photoshoot on the steps of the hospital, prompting the scurrilous online rumour that Meghan hadn't actually given birth at all. When they did have a photoshoot at Windsor two days after Archie's birth, some went so far as to claim the newborn shots were faked using a hyper-realistic doll, and that Kensington Palace posted a hastily deleted tweet announcing he was born via surrogate. Meghan later revealed that this pregnancy was marked by mental health struggles, making the cruel rumours an especially bitter pill to swallow. When it comes to wild theories about their family life, the couple's quest for privacy has become a double-edged sword. Carefully curated personal revelations, along with family photos and videos they share, are subjected to intense and feverish scrutiny. When they uploaded Meghan's twerking video, even if it wasn't meant as a response to the bizarre rumours, the couple must have known social media vigilantes would comb through it for clues.

Michelle Obama: Our daughters are pushing away from us
Michelle Obama has said her daughters are trying to 'push away' from her and her husband to forge their own paths separate from their famous parents. The former first lady said that her daughters Malia and Sasha tried to distance themselves from her and her husband, the former US president Barack Obama, particularly during their teenage years. 'Our daughters are 26 and 23, they are young adult women. But they definitely went through a period in their teen years… it was the 'push away,'' Mrs Obama said during an episode of Kate Hudson's Sibling Revelry podcast. Mrs Obama said her two children are continuing to attempt to chart their own course in order to differentiate themselves from their parents. 'They're still doing that, and you guys know this of children with parents who are known,' she said. Addressing her elder daughter's decision to drop her surname in her professional life, Mrs Obama said: 'It is very important for my kids to feel like they've earned what they are getting in the world, and they don't want people to assume that they don't work hard, that they're just naturally, just handed things. 'They're very sensitive to that - they want to be their own people,' she added. For Malia's debut film, the Heart, which premiered at last year's Sundance Film Festival, the 26-year-old writer and director went by her first and middle names, Malia Ann, in the director's credits. 'Malia, who started in film, I mean, her first project – she took off her last name, and we were like, they're still going to know it's you, Malia,' Mrs Obama said of the decision. 'But we respected the fact that she's trying to make her way.' She added that as their children have grown up, they have come to terms with the decisions she and her husband made as parents in the public eye. 'As they're older, I think they are embracing our parenting principles… They have a clearer understanding of why we did a lot of what we did,' she said. 'They understand us as full human beings now, in the same way that I think I discovered that about my parents when I went away to college.' Her comments echoed the former president, who recently joked on an episode of The Pivot podcast that their children were 'stubborn' and would 'go out of their way to not try to leverage' their famous family name. 'On the credits, it said Malia Ann. I was like, 'You do know they'll know who you are?'' Mr Obama said. 'And she's all like, 'You know what? I want them to watch it that first time and not in any way have that association.'' Mrs Obama has in recent months begun to speak more openly about the challenges of her time in the White House. She announced on Thursday that she will be releasing a new book, The Look, in November focusing on her most famous outfits and her efforts to 'reclaim' her story. 'During our family's time in the White House, the way I looked was constantly being dissected — what I wore, how my hair was styled,' she captioned the post on Instagram. 'For a while now, I've been wanting to reclaim more of that story, to share it in my own way.'
