Designers Domenico, 63, and Stefano, 59, founded fashion house Dolce & Gabbana in 1985 and used some of their wealth to purchase their former yacht, taking delivery of the craft in 2006 from Italian luxury superyacht building firm Codecasa.

Rome-based architectural team Lazzarini Pickering Architetti designed the interior, with the cruiser featuring lush gold-veined marble floors and gold doorhandles shaped like outstretched hands, while the furniture is dotted with leopard skin throws.

The regal bathrooms feature pure gold taps studded with sparkling rubies and sapphires.

The ship’s bold silver metallic hull is 51 metres long, with the yacht’s superstructure made from flight-weight aluminium while the hull is made of steel.

External styling was created by renowned boat designers Della Role Design, with the high quality teak wood deck creating the perfect setting for the pool, jacuzzi and spa.

An impressive 167-foot custom made inflatable water slide has been installed to enable guests to launch themselves into the ocean from the top deck.

The yacht is equipped with extensive entertainment equipment and a state of the art gym for the on-board guests. 

It can accommodate up to 12 guests and 16 crew members, with each suite named after an exotic animal.

Kourtney and Travis have been enjoying their time on Regina d’Italia with her three children Mason, 12, Reign, seven, and Penelope, nine, as well as Travis’ kids Landon, 18, and daughter Alabama, 16, and Atiana, 23.

According to TMZ, Kourtney and Travis have rented the historic house museum Castello Brown located on a hill above Portofino harbour for their nuptials. 

Her mother Kris Jenner, 66, recently revealed that she had been ‘sworn to secrecy’ about the upcoming nuptials, as she was seen out shopping in the harbour town earlier in the day. 

A source revealed to People: ‘They had to legally get married first ahead of their big Italian wedding, which is happening very soon.

‘All the details are set, and the whole family, including all the kids, are very excited.’

With Kris telling the publication: ‘I have been sworn to secrecy. If I say one thing about a wedding, I am going to be in so much trouble!’

The couple and their children are believed to have been in the area for the past few days.

Workers were seen toiling away in a bid to get everything ready for the nuptials, with a helicopter seen lowering down a large wooden structure.

While another wooden structure was seen being delivered by a truck to the first level of the villa near the pool.

The couple seemingly intend to say their vows outdoors, with a paved area overlooking the sea seen being prepped by staff, with an array of plants, furniture and ornate structures seen scattered around the area.  

And the pair intend for their guests to be seated in style, as a truck load of ornate, colourfully patterned chairs were seen arriving.

Elsewhere, rails of clothes were pictured being pushed along, amid the construction work taking place in and around the venue.

Highlighting the VIP nature of the wedding, a gold sign reading ‘Riservati Evento’ was seen hanging up, which means Reserved Event in English. 

Amid the hustle and bustle of preparations, Kourtney’s children were seen excitedly watching by the sidelines.

The lavish European wedding will be the third time the loved-up couple have tied the knot, following their unofficial nuptials after the Grammys in Las Vegas and their legal ceremony in Santa Barbra. 

Kourtney and Travis shared their first photos as newlyweds with their Instagram followers earlier this week.

Less than 24 hours after legally tying the knot in Santa Barbara, the reality star posted a slideshow of black and white photos from their big day. 

‘Till death do us part,’ the mother-of-three captioned the snaps, featuring her straddling her spouse on top of a black convertible with ‘just married’ on the bumper before getting into the car and sharing a passionate kiss.

The Blink-182 drummer posted an identical caption and same images of their big day as they announced the news to their fans and loved ones.

The lovebirds, who became engaged in October 2021, exchanged vows with a small number of loved ones and their security, including her maternal grandmother Mary Jo ‘MJ’ Campbell and Travis’ dad Randy, at the weekend. 

After getting hitched, the reality star and drummer were seen driving off in a vintage car. 

For her big day, Kourtney was seen wearing a short white dress with a plunging neckline and red heart adorned on the bodice and a traditional veil over her dark tresses, which were pulled back for the occasion.

She styled her $1,825 Dolce & Gabbana lace bustier frock with a pair of sheer gloves and matching veil. 

Known for their love of matching, the star and her husband wore coordinated shoes for their big day. While she opted for a pair of burgundy velvet pumps, Travis matched her in trendy men’s Rockabilly shoes in the same color.

Kourtney later shared a snap of their cookie cake iced with ‘Mr. and Mrs. Barker’ from Command Entertainment Group PR owner Simon Huck and his husband Phil Riportella.

At the time of her prior Vegas wedding, Kourtney took to Instagram to share a gallery of snaps from the nuptials as she said that some drinking lead to the impromptu wedding in Sin City. 

She captioned the gallery of retro snaps to her 168million followers: ‘Once upon a time in a land far, far away (Las Vegas) at 2am, after an epic night and a little tequila, a queen and her handsome king ventured out to the only open chapel with an Elvis and got married (with no license).’

She also confirmed that it was not an actual legal ceremony as they did not have a marriage license but it will help them for their actual wedding as she wrote ‘Practice makes perfect.’

Under her leather jacket Kourtney wore a yellow 2012 vintage Versace bustier with a huge crystal gothic cross down the middle as she and her man packed on the PDA by sharing several kisses.

They both also sported a pair of black designer sunglasses, with Travis opting for Enfants Riches Déprimés shades. The musician opted to show off his body art by going shirtless under the outerwear.

Kourtney’s social media post was met with much joy from her celebrity family and friends in addition to her loyal followers as many commented on the post sending their love.

Travis commented on the post with two people wearing formalwear emojis with a female gender symbol in between as younger sister Kim replied with four house emojis.

The chapel’s wedding packages range in price from $99-$699, with the couple purchasing the One Love Affair package for $199, paying extra for the Elvis impersonator, according to In Touch.

The priciest package includes a limo, photo shoot, a wedding concierge, choice of love song, a fresh rose bouquet and garter belt for the bride, wedding video and a rose petal entrance, but the Kravis’ budget ceremony was a simpler affair which lasted 30-40 minutes.

It was a private early morning wedding, according to TMZ, who reported that the pair did not allow the venue to take any photos and opted to bring their own photographer and security.

Kourtney and Travis famously were engaged during a romantic beachside proposal in Montecito, California, in October.

Barker’s daughter Alabama, now 16, shared a first look at the massive sparkler — which was oval-shaped and appeared to be at least 15 carats and designed by jeweler Lorraine Schwartz — as they enjoyed an intimate engagement dinner with family and friends after the proposal, with additional footage shared throughout the evening. The ring is estimated to be worth at least $1million.

The proposal took place at 6:30 pm; family members from both sides were in attendance to usher in the happy couple.

The loved-up duo were longtime friends for a decade, before they began dating in the latter part of 2020, and went Instagram official just after Valentine’s Day 2021.

Wild PDAs, IVF struggles, and THREE weddings: A look back at Kravis’ whirlwind romance history

They’re saying ‘I do’ for a third time this weekend in Portofino, Italy in front of a close circle of family and friends. Here, DailyMail.com takes a look back at the three weddings, wild PDAs, IVF struggles and whirlwind romance of Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker… 

Travis’ first Kardashian crush on Kim 

Having been a friend of the family for years, Travis Barker first showed his interest in the KarJenner clan when he confessed to first being attracted to Kim Kardashian – not Kourtney – back when she was an assistant to Paris Hilton around 2006.

‘How could you not stare at Kim? Mind you, I enjoyed hanging out with Paris, but I love curvy girls,’ Travis admitted in 2015. ‘Kim was eye candy. I was no way disrespectful to Paris, but I couldn’t keep my eyes off Kim!’

Travis went on to say he spent time with Kim in their Calabasas neighborhood and while he had a ‘crush’ on her, he said ‘nothing ever happened.’

Getting to know the family 

Travis then made several appearances on Keeping Up with the Kardashians while he was still married to ex-wife Shanna Moakler, cementing his status as a true Kardashian family friend. 

His daughter Alabama revealed in October 2017 that she had been bonding with the Kardashians, along with her father, though she did not specifically mention Kourtney.

 ‘Actually, the other night I had dinner with all of them and they were really sweet,’ she said at the time. Travis shares Alabama and a son Landon with his ex Moakler, who he was married to from 2004 to 2008.

Dating rumors 

Kourtney and Travis first sparked romance rumors when they were spotted on what appeared to be a date together in 2018 Los Angeles.

For their evening out, the duo attended an evening service at the famed celebrity Hillsong Church, and then later went out for a vegan dinner at Crossroads where they dined with Kourtney’s pal Larsa Pippen.  

At the time, Kourtney had broken up with French model Younes Bendjima just a few months before.

From friends to lovers

Their relationship was confirmed in January 2021 after growing closer during the pandemic, as Kourtney recently revealed she made the first move while the pair were enjoying a friendly movie night together.

‘I was definitely always attracted to Travis. I think it was just the right time in my life,’ she said on the show this year, adding: ‘We were texting and I put it out there, like flirtatious conversation.’

After Travis failed to make a move and went to put on a second movie for them to watch, Kourtney took action: ‘I was like, “I don’t have time for this movie marathon,’” so I made the first move.’

PDA power couple 

‘Kravis’ became Instagram official for Valentines in February 2021 with Kourtney posting a picture of the pair holding hands, but that was just the start of the wild PDAs that followed. By April, Travis posted a blurry snap of them making out, while they later revealed their signature move on Kourtney straddling the Blink 182 drummer in the Utah desert.

Their PDAs reached a fever pitch in August last year, when Scott Disick reached out to her ex Younes Bendjima on Instagram after seeing Kourtney straddle Travis on a gondola. He later apologized. 

They made their red carpet debut at the VMAs in September last year, and their display of tongue-kissing for the cameras set the tone for many more PDA-heavy events including this year’s Met Gala.

IVF struggles

While the couple’s romance has seen many highs, Kourtney has revealed they’ve also faced heartbreak as she’s struggled to have a child with Travis. 

In an episode of the Kardashians, Kourt confessed their doctor had taken them down ‘this road of doing IVF’ saying ‘it hasn’t been the most amazing experience.’ 

The reality star is mother to Mason, 12; Penelope, nine; and Reign, seven — with her former partner Scott Disick, whom she dated from 2005 until 2015. 

A romantic proposal 

Travis popped the question in October to Kourtney, whisking her away to a beach in Montecito, California, as the special moment was captured for the Kardashians Hulu reality show. 

Later, it was revealed there was drama as Kris Jenner made the call not to include Kourtney’s children in the happy moment – which resulted in her daughter Penelope becoming upset. 

‘I woke up all night thinking it was a dream,’ Kourtney gushed on Instagram at the time.

Three weddings 

Not content with just one ceremony, Kravis kicked things off with a drunken Las Vegas wedding in April this year after partying at the Grammy Awards. But the wedding was void as it was revealed the loved-up couple did not have the correct paperwork. 

In the run up to their big wedding in Italy, Kravis legally tied the knot in Santa Barbara in May with her grandmother Mary Jo “MJ” Campbell present, as well as Travis’ father Randy Barker. The pair drove off in a vintage lowrider convertible with a ‘Just Married’ sign.

However, the couple really pulled out the stops for their big bash in Portofino renting out an entire castle for their family and friends. The pair chose the historic house museum Castello Brown located on a hill above Portofino harbour for their official big celebration.
