Atiana De La Hoya Slams Father Oscar's Vasectomy Video as 'Bizarre' and 'Hurtful'
By Robert Thorne
To grasp why this brief video provoked such an intense fallout, observers must look at the unique web of Atiana's upbringing. She was born in 1999 during Oscar De La Hoya's high-profile engagement to model and actress Shanna Moakler. The engagement collapsed in 2000, leaving Moakler to raise Atiana as a single mother until she married Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker in 2004.
| Parental Figure | Relationship Context | Documented Co-Parenting Involvement |
|---|---|---|
| Oscar De La Hoya | Biological Father | Intermittent contact; acknowledged in his 2023 documentary that he was frequently absent during her childhood. |
| Shanna Moakler | Biological Mother | Primary physical custodian throughout early childhood; managed early media exposure and modeling management. |
| Travis Barker | Stepfather | Raised Atiana from age five; maintained active co-parenting role and joint living arrangements long after divorcing Moakler. |
| Kourtney Kardashian Barker | Stepmother (via Barker) | Integrated Atiana into expanded family events, red-carpet premieres, and personal brand projects since 2022. |
Even after Barker and Moakler divorced in 2008, Barker never treated Atiana as a former dependent. He kept his home open to her, raised her alongside her younger half-siblings, and included her as an equal child in his household. As Barker remarried reality star Kourtney Kardashian Barker, that bond remained unbroken. Atiana attended their Italian wedding in Portofino and walked red carpets beside her stepfamily, illustrating where her primary stability rested.
