Now that Travis Barker is married again, his ex-wife Shanna Moakler is finally letting go of her engagement ring. The former reality star has put the ring up for auction less than a week after Travis was celebrating his nuptials in Italy with his new wife Kourtney Kardashian.
Speaking to Us Weekly, Shanna said that she’s sad to see the ring go but is ready for it to find a new home, explaining, “I think it is a beautiful piece and truly was my dream ring.”
“However, that chapter of my life is over,” she continued. “And even though wearing it at one time brought me great joy, I hope it will find a new home and continue to bring someone as much happiness as it once did to me. It’s truly an iconic ring!
The auction will be live from May 27th to May 31st but may be extended if there’s a lot of interest in the piece.
The bidding will start at $51,000. But Shanna said she hopes to get at least $120,000 for the solitaire stone, noting that it’s worth $160,000. Worthy.com is hosting the auction.
Travis and Kourtney legally married earlier this month during a courthouse ceremony in California. But it was a necessary step for their celebration with family and friends, which happened last weekend in Portofino, Italy.
The couple were spotted with their children aboard a $60 million yacht formerly owned by Dolce & Gabbana days before the wedding ceremony. Travis shares two children – Landon, 18, and Alabama, 16 – with Shanna. Kourtney has three kids -- Mason, 12, Penelope, 9, and Reign, 7.
The gothic-inspired ceremony and reception were later help at Castello Brown, a historic castle on the water. Kourtney wore a white Dolce & Gabana minidress for the occasion, valued at $1,900.
Although Shanna says she’s moving on from her ex-husband, the reality star previously had trouble adjusting to his relationship with Kourtney. She’s publicly stated she worries the couple’s relationship could be affecting her relationship with her kids.
However, Shanna then responded to backlash online to deny being “obsessed” with the couple.
“I’m in a relationship and I’m really happy, and it’s just not something that’s centered in my world,” she stated in February. I wanted America to see me for who I was, and not necessarily what’s pumped out to the masses and the media sometimes.”
Shanna is currently in a relationship with Matthew Rondeau.
