Atiana De La Hoya — the daughter of boxing legend Oscar De La Hoya and step-daughter of drummer Travis Barker — reveals what it was like growing up on MTV reality show.
Atiana De La Hoya has plenty of home movies from her childhood — only they were shot by MTV. From 2005 to 2006, she and her family — including her mom, former Miss USA and Playboy model Shanna Moakler; stepdad Travis Barker, drummer for the band Blink-182; and half-siblings Landon and Alabama — starred in a reality show called “Meet the Barkers.” “It was like, ‘There are going to be people in the house, pretend that they’re not there,’ ” Atiana recalled being told. “And they truly did just follow us around. I feel like reality TV is so different now than it was back then.” Because she was only 7 years old at the time, “It’s definitely nice to [watch episodes now], because I was so little I don’t remember a lot,” Atiana said. “It’s something I cherish.” Lately, the 21-year-old — whose father is boxing legend Oscar De La Hoya — has really found her own place in Hollywood, apart from her high-profile family’s careers. “I am so unathletic. I am not good with music,” she told The Post. “But any way that I can visually express myself, I’m there.” In 2019, the young artist began painting on luxury handbags and accessories in an effort to come up with a unique Christmas gift. It turned out so well that she began selling the work on her Instagram account @artbyatiana, where she also posts photos of the custom pieces she’s created for Barker and other music stars including Machine Gun Kelly and Yungblud. “It’s very outer space inspired,” Atiana said of her artistic style, which tends to feature hot pink three-eyed aliens, UFOs, eyeballs and skulls.
