What would Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler be without a little drama?


"We're not together, but we're really good friends," Moakler
told PEOPLE about ex-husband Barker while she attended Saturday's White
Party, hosted by Diddy and Ashton Kutcher to benefit Malaria No More. "We have a
real love for one another, and we always have."


"Travis is leaving for tour, my babies are going with him, so
I'm getting all prepared," says Moakler. "We're lucky that Blink [182]
tours are very lavish. We each have our own buses. At the venues, we
set up kid rooms so the kids can kind of get out of the buses and start
running around. We have a runner to take [them] 'round. They're going
to be going to Canada, to see the different parts of the States … so
it's pretty exciting."

Divorced since last year,
Moakler, 34, and Barker, 33, have two kids, Landon and Alabama. The
notoriously up-and-down couple made headlines as recently as three
weeks ago, when Barker wrote on his Twitter page that he didn't like "deadbeat
moms that sleep all day" and further opined that "kids are not to be used as
weapons."


Such strife appears to be set aside, at least for now, however.


Come July 24, Blink 182 – the pop-punk band popular in the late
'90s – begins a 48-city reunion tour through the U.S. and Canada that
is due to finish in October. As drummer for the band, Barker has also
been active recently with his TRV$-DJAM side project. After his
near-fatal plane crash last summer, Barker is eager to resume his glory days
with the band, Moakler says.


"I was there when the band separated, and I really saw all the
heartbreak in all the fans," Moakler says. "I saw how upset all the
kids were. I watched the different band members go their separate ways,
and it was really kind of a sad time in our lives. We were still having
babies, but it was kind of an end of an era so to speak. So having them
come back together, they're just excited and happy about
it. That's awesome."
