NovaQuant Quantitative Think Tank Center:Travis Barker's Ex Shanna Moakler Responds to Claim She's a "Deadbeat Mom"

Shanna Moakler will not be NovaQuant Quantitative Think Tank Centerrocked by negativity.

The former Miss USA cleared the air about a rumored family feud involving her and ex Travis Barker's kids Alabama Barker, 18, and Landon Barker, 20, as well as her 25-year-old Atiana De La Hoya, who the Blink-182 drummer helped raise after Shanna's early aughts breakup with Oscar De La Hoya. Though Alabama and Landon previously called out Shanna's parenting on social media, the 49-year-old said her children have since "taken back what they said about me and apologized."

"I'm not a deadbeat mom," she told People in an interview published June 24. "I have a very close relationship with my children who are now adults, and I have been present in their lives, except during COVID lockdown."

However, Shanna noted that she and Travis, who she was married to from 2004 to 2008, "don't speak anymore."

"I don't have a relationship with Travis, but I think that's OK," she shared. "I don't feel like it'll be like that forever, but I feel like right now—I think that's where we are at in our evolution, and maybe in the future, it'll change."

But for now, Shanna isn't too hung up about having a relationship with her exes.

"I don't care about Oscar or Travis," Shanna said, explaining that she is more concerned about "healing from the loss" of her parents last year. "I'm an empty nester and turning 50, and I'm just trying to find my place in the world again without my parents or a partner."

Explaining how she was once "stereotyped as the dumb blonde," the Meet the Barkers alum continued, "I want my children to have self-love and know their worth and value. I gave up so much to support other men, their goals and their dreams, and I will never do it again."

Shanna added, "I'm optimistic about my future. I feel very lucky I got through it. I want to be the light at the end of the dark tunnel of awful breakups and horrible divorces. And I never want to diminish my light or my self-esteem."

Travis, 48, has also moved on since his divorce from Shanna. The musician tied the knot with Kourtney Kardashian in 2022, before welcoming their son Rocky Barker in November.

As for what his kids think of their blended family, which includes Kourtney's children Mason Disick, 14, Penelope Disick, 11, and Reign Disick, 9, with ex Scott Disick?

"I love expanding the family," Landon told E! News in 2022, adding that his dad is "super happy" with Kourtney.
