She has two older brothers, Kirk and John W. IV, and an older sister. As a child, Moakler enjoyed weekend visits to her grandfather's farm, where she could "play outdoors and be a tomboy."

She attended Barrington High School, where she claims to have been "the biggest dork." According to Moakler, she was "4-foot-11 and 75 pounds" until she finally hit puberty at age seventeen.

Moakler was a celebrity contestant on Search Party, a game show on the E! network.

The couple appeared together in a scene of The Wedding Singer. Moakler has described Idol as a gentleman, but "not too sweet and sensitive." She also praised his intelligence and flair for history and philosophy. Moakler has disclosed that Idol was "horrible in bed," although he was "a good kisser." Oscar de la Hoya: Moakler started dating boxer Oscar de la Hoya in October 1997 and they moved in together in early 1998. Moakler and de la Hoya became engaged prior to the 1999 birth of their daughter, Atiana Cecilia de la Hoya (born March 29, 1999). Moakler has said "it wasn’t a planned pregnancy, but it was understood if it happened it was beautiful and if it didn’t that was fine too." In September of 2000, the relationship abruptly ended when Moakler, who was at home watching the Latin Grammy Awards on television, saw de la Hoya escorting another woman to the show. In December of 2000, Moakler filed a $62.5 million palimony suit against her ex-fiancé, claiming he was an alcoholic, abusive to her and to their daughter, and that he used them "as props to promote his public image." The case was settled out of court in 2001 for an undisclosed amount. After the time of de la Hoya's split from Moakler, he had little contact with his daughter, although he continued to provide financial support. Dennis Quaid: Moakler began dating actor Dennis Quaid in 2001. They were together when she was approached by Playboy and they discussed it before she posed nude in the magazine. The relationship lasted for eight months. Marriage to Travis Barker: Travis Barker, drummer for the band (+44), and formerly of blink-182 and The Transplants, proposed to Moakler in the elevator entrance to the Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland. Barker paid off one of the ride operators so that the couple could have the space to themselves for a few minutes and then got down on one knee and proposed. Moakler said "yes," but she later surprised Barker with her own down-on-one-knee proposal and engagement ring for him. On October 30, 2004, Moakler married Barker. Moakler and Barker have two children together - son Landon, (born October 9, 2003) and daughter Alabama (born December 24, 2005). Separation: Barker filed for divorce from Moakler on August 8, 2006. Moakler "officially" commented on her MySpace page, that she was devastated by the demise of her marriage. Less than a week after filing for divorce, Barker posted negative comments about his estranged wife on his MySpace page. Barker later explained that he was "still absolutely in love" with Moakler, but that he posted the blog about her after "hearing things in the press that Shanna was saying." Both Moakler and Barker quickly removed the blogs from their pages and remained relatively quiet as to their divorce until reports circulated that Barker was seeing Paris Hilton. Tensions between Hilton and Moakler led to a confrontation at a Los Angeles nightclub (Hyde Lounge) in early October. Hilton and Moakler each accused the other of battery in separate complaints filed with the Los Angeles Police Department. Hilton claimed Moakler had punched her in the jaw and shouted at her, while Moakler said that Stavros Niarchos (Hilton's ex-boyfriend) bent her wrists, poured a drink on her and shoved her down stairs. Ultimately, no charges came out of the altercation. In November 2006, Shanna threw herself a "divorce party" in Las Vegas, complete with a divorce cake (see photo) featuring a bloody groom and a blonde, knife-wielding bride. In response, Barker again posted a blog on his MySpace page, this time criticizing Moakler for throwing the party. Reconciliation: Despite Moakler and Barker's pending divorce, by early December 2006 they were seen out and about with their children and having romantic dinners together.[39] Reports surfaced in January 2007 that they were "quietly trying to give it another go," after the couple spent a day together (and were seen holding hands) at Disneyland. Moakler, on her MySpace page, denied the rumors of a reconciliation and explained that she and Barker were "working on being good friends and even better parents." Moakler and Barker spent Valentine's Day together in Las Vegas, where Barker surprised Moakler with three dozen red roses and bottle of Dom Perignon. Photos of Moakler with Barker prompted speculation that the couple was expecting another child. In late February Moakler again denied that she and her husband were back together, despite evidence to the contrary, telling a reporter: "I am single, . . . Travis and I are not together, . . . and I'm not pregnant, either." In March 2007, Moakler revealed that she is still "madly in love" with her husband and that they have reunited. This admission came after the couple was publicly affectionate at a surprise birthday Barker threw for his wife in Miami. In April 2007, Barker told People that they were back together, they have pulled out of the separation and that they are doing what is best for themselves and their children, which making their children happy is the best thing of all. The couple showed up at a party, holding hands, kissing and wearing their wedding rings. On July 23, 2007, after months of reconciliation, Moakler revealed that her relationship with Barker is over. On August 2, 2007, Moakler and Barker made an appearance at the Rockstar Energy Drink X Games Kickoff at new club Opera in Hollywood. Moakler and Barker were also seen at MTV's 2007 VMA's (Video Music Awards) together on September 9th. |
