Now, not a day goes by when the Kardashian/Jenner clan aren’t in the spotlight, and now that Kourtney and Travis are married, he’s in the limelight too…
They’re arguably been one of the most famous families for years now.
And with the new series of The Kardashians already out, the family has taken the spotlight to the next level…
But this time, their kids are a little older, and a lot more involved, which is exciting!
Kourtney Kardashian is known to have been straying away from the limelight in recent years.
Back in 2020 after KUWTK‘s Season 18, Kourtney revealed that she would be taking a step back from the show after constant fights with her sisters, Kim and Khloe.
She even responded to a fan telling her to “quit the damn show” on March 26 following the season premiere, she tweeted: “I did. Bye.”
Despite this, it seems she’s back in the latest season with Hulu, which began shooting late last year.
In this season of The Kardashians, fans get an inside look into Kim’s divorce from Kanye West and her newfound romance with Pete Davidson.
We see Khloe trying to patch things up with Tristan Thompson once again, while Kylie navigates her second pregnancy.
And let’s not forget, we get to see Kourtney’s relationship with Travis Barker blossom.
All eyes have been on Kourtney and Travis as they navigate their romance.
In the episodes so far, we have seen more details shared about the moment that Travis Barker asked Kourtney’s parents for permission to marry her.
According to People, in one episode, the show filmed Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner discussing the phone call in which Travis asked Kris for permission.
Speaking with Kim ahead of Kim’s Saturday Night Live debut, Kris said: “He asked for her hand in marriage, and I was like, literally, I want to cry now.”
Kris described the moment as “so sweet and so tender.”
She then revealed that Travis visited Kourtney’s father, Robert Kardashian’s grave to also ask for his permission.
“And then he said he went to your dad’s grave and asked your dad [for permission], and I just lost it,” Kris told Kim.
“It’s all happy, I just wish your dad was here to see it. I can hardly believe that it’s the first time that she’s getting married.”
One episode also revealed that the twelve-carat diamond ring, worth a whopping $1 million, that Travis proposed with had to be repaired…
Just days after Travis got down on one knee.
The episode showed Kris visiting Kourtney after the engagement where she asks her about the ring…
“Oh my gosh, can you believe you’re engaged!” she exclaimed in the scene, before asking: “Where’s the ring?”
Kourtney then revealed that she had accidentally stepped on her ring while in her closet and that she had “a nervous breakdown” after realizing she’d broken it.
“I’m covering it because it’s actually getting fixed,” Kourtney explained to her mom, with her sleeves covering her hands. “This is probably one of the worst things I’ve ever done in my whole life, by the way.”
“I was sitting on my floor folding sweatshirts and I took the ring off and I put it next to me on the floor thinking it’d be safe right next to me,” Kourtney shared.
“I had to get something up above in my closet, and when I stepped down I stepped on the ring.”
Totally surprised by her daughter’s answer, Kris responded: “You broke your engagement ring?”
“I was hysterically crying in my closet for, like, hours,” Kourtney added. “Then I called Travis, I was like: ‘I did something really, really bad’ and he handled it the best, but it really gave me a nervous breakdown.”
“This is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever had in my life, how could I have done that?”
Fortunately, it seems that the broken engagement ring hasn’t stopped the pair with their plans for marriage as just months after their engagement…
Kourtney and Travis tied the knot… and it was the real deal!
But then Kourtney and Travis exchanged vows in a wedding chapel in Las Vegas in front of Elvis.
The pair shared pictures online, however, it was revealed that they weren’t actually married as there was no license.
However, Kourtney and Travis then exchanged for real!
And fans were thrilled about it…
“I’m happy for Kourtney. I remember how Kourtney wasn’t into weddings back then. Now… She finally found her man!” one person wrote on Twitter.
While another added: “Congratulations to Kourtney and Travis much love to both of you.”
The couple married in Santa Barbara, according to TMZ.
According to the outlet, Kourtney and Travis exchanged vows on the steps of the downtown courthouse.
The outlet reports that only a few guests, including bodyguards, were present for the vows.
Before they left driving a black convertible with a sign taped to the back that read: “Just married.”
Kourtney and Travis then had a big fat Italian wedding…
“They had to legally get married first ahead of their big Italian wedding,” a source told People.
But one thing fans aren’t thrilled about was Kourtney’s dress…
Some have labeled it the “tackiest wedding dress” they’ve ever seen.
The mom of 3 wore a short white bodycon dress with a veil in her hair.
While Travis dressed in an all-black tux.
Fans on social media have shared their thoughts on the dress, with one Facebook user writing: “All that money and she manages to look tacky, awful dress.”
Another added: “She has a lot of money but why didn’t she get a decent wedding dress? It looks like a costume for Halloween.”
“Can’t believe with all her money she chose to wear THAT.” a third wrote.
A fourth replied: “I am amazed she thinks that dress looks good.”
And that’s not the only thing she’s been slammed for.
Kourtney and Travis have come under fire for their constant PDA.
Now the pair have been pretty handy since they first got together, which has clearly been pretty hard on her kids who she shares with her ex, Scott Disick
Mason, twelve, Penelope, 9, and Reign, 7 have had to adapt to this new normal, and it seems they don’t like their constant kissing.
However, Kourtney did bring up their “affectionate” relationship in episode 2, defending her’s and Travis’ PDA.
“Kissing and hugging is not a bad thing,” she said. “I’m actually grateful that my kids can see a loving, affectionate relationship because they haven’t seen that their whole lives.”
But clearly, her kids don’t agree, as they seem pretty grossed out by their antics, understandably.
In an episode of The Kardashians, Penelope and Reign tell the couple to stop “French kissing” at the dinner table.
Kourtney could be seen playing table tennis with Penelope and Reign before Travis comes over and the pair immediately start making out.
In front of her kids.
Penelope quickly shouted: “Mom! No kissing!”
Travis, somewhat respectfully, apologized, while Kourtney asked for “just one” more kiss.
“What about our certificates you gave us?” Kourtney asked her daughter seemingly referencing a handmade kissing pass, to which P yelled: “No!”
They were called out again at the dinner table where Kourtney Travis and both their kids were eating together.
The pair start kissing again in front of all of their kids which seems to get too much for Reign…
Who said: “Ew guys! Can you guys not kiss in French again?” before adding: “Can you guys please not French kiss?”
More recently, Kourtney has been announced as the new sustainability ambassador of the clothing brand, Boohoo.
As well as launching a new sustainably capsule with the brand, which reportedly made a massive £445.7 ($510.71) million, Kourtney is set to front a 4-part investigation into Boohoo’s journey, from designing the range to speaking to industry experts.
Kourtney’s first line of clothing, which is usually priced from £5 ($5.73) to £75 ($85.90), will be dropped by September 13.
It’s to feature forty-one styles, which are made from recycled polyester and recycled cotton.
After speaking about her decision to join the multi-million-dollar clothing brand, Kourtney admitted that she had a few concerns.
“When boohoo first approached me with this idea that was all about sustainability and style.
“I was concerned about the effects of the fast fashion industry on our planet,” she said.
“Boohoo responded with excitement and a desire to incorporate more sustainable practices into our line,” Kourtney said.
“It’s been an enlightening experience speaking directly with industry experts. I’m grateful for the opportunity to use my platform to drive conversations that lead to ongoing change and use my voice to share actionable tips with consumers on how we can play our own part.
“There’s still lots of work to be done and improvements to be made, but I truly believe that any progress we can make when it comes to sustainability is a step in the right direction and will open up the conversation for future advancements,” she added.
However, it seems like people still have concerns about the partnership between Kourtney and the fashion brand, accusing them of Greenwashing…
Which is essentially pulling marketing stunts to make people believe you’re trying to make a difference to save the planet, when in fact, there’s no change being made to reduce the risk.
People have taken to social media to share their thoughts…
One user wrote: “Positive change would be to stop overproducing poor quality clothes made by underpaid workers. Step one. Don’t need more awareness, the world is aware.”
Another added: “Would absolutely love to see you use the money you spend on these misleading marketing campaigns to actually 🌸 pay the people who make your clothes 🌸.”
Fashion designer, Aja Barber also jumped into the commotion and shared his thoughts on the matter…
“Yes, let’s keep it real.
“Have you tried making less stuff? Instead of paying rich people to virtue signal why not just pay super fair wages instead??? That’s something you can do and you don’t even have to give a rich person more money to do it,” he said.
Neither Kourtney nor Boohoo responded to the criticism they’ve received in the past few weeks, but it seems like the situation won’t be dying down anytime soon.
Kourtney recently made an interesting revelation about Penelope on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast…
“She’s slept with me every day since she was born and pretty much still does.
“Unless she has a friend sleep over or unless she leaves me to go sleep at Travis’ or Auntie Coco’s [Khloé] or Auntie Kiki’s [Kim],” Kourtney revealed.
“But besides that, we are so close,” she said.
Kourtney even called Penelope her “mini-me.”
“She is such, I can’t even explain it. She is my girl that I do not worry about,” she said.
The reality star has also opened up about how guilty she feels when she travels without her kids.
Kourtney spoke about how she struggles to balance her busy lifestyle and her role as a mother.
According to Buzzfeed, she previously said that if she “had enough money” she’d quit KUWTK to be a full-time mother.
The reality star also expressed the guilt she felt leaving her kids.
“The guilt that I carry every day from not being at home when they get home from school, not doing homework — my kids suffer,” she told her sister Khloé.
But as of late, Kourtney, Travis, and their kids have embarked on several fun adventures as a blended family.
However, trolls have called out the reality star for spending too much time with Travis, and not enough with her children.
On the latest episode of The Kardashians, Kourtney revealed she feels “guilty” when she’s away from kids for such extended periods of time.
In the episode, Kourtney and Travis fly from LA to Milan for a bunch of fittings ahead of their wedding.
“Travis and I are going to Milan to do our fittings for our wedding, and our wedding weekend.
“This is also the longest time period that me and Travis are leaving our kids,” she explained.
Kourtney then detailed her and Travis’ busy schedules, which included flying straight from Italy to New York for the Met Gala.
“From Milan, we go to New York for the Met, and then we finally get to come home to our kids.
“We’re both really similar and get this guilty feeling, but we shorten it up as much as we can,” she said.
But that’s not all…
These comments come just months after she publicly clapped back at someone who suggested she never spends time with her children.
Clearly, the troll didn’t expect her to respond.
“Oh wow you’re with your kids finally????” said the user.
Kourtney responded with: “I’m with my kids every day thank God, social media isn’t always real life.”
And now, Kourtney’s revealed that she let her kids in her and Travis’ bedroom.
In a piece for Interview magazine, Kourtney is questioned by her younger sister, Khloé about her nightly routines with her new husband and their blended family.
When Khloe asked Kourtney how she keeps the kids out of her bedroom, the mom of 3 replied: “I don’t. We have an open-door policy in this house.”
“If it’s my kids, it’s usually silk pajamas or a vintage T-shirt and Travis’ boxers. Always with long sleeves and long pants,” she said. “And then if it’s just me and him, then it’s a little nothing or boxers and no shirt. I don’t know. I switch it up. I always got to keep it interesting.”
Kourtney also shared the unusual item she keeps in her “secret drawer” on her bedside table.
“I have Reign’s hair, because we didn’t cut his hair until he was five. So I have his long braid and I smell it often,” she revealed.
And now, Kourtney has been getting ready to celebrate the holiday season.
On Friday, Kourtney showcased her Calabasas home’s gothic Christmas decor on her Instagram story.
The picture showed her room filled with red Christmas trees with Christmas lights hanging on them.
This is a huge moment for the star as she celebrates her first Christmas with her husband, Travis, after tying the knot back in May.
