There are numerous perks to being a Kardashian, together with the celebrity and wealth that include residing their lives in entrance of actuality cameras (a Season 7 premiere date ought to be hitting the 2025 TV schedule any day now). However it’s undeniably numerous work too — all the time being glammed up, trying your finest and placing your life on the market for public scrutiny. I’m certain it will get exhausting, and apparently it’s a way of life Kourtney Kardashian has been attempting to distance herself from.
Kourtney — the oldest sibling within the Kardashian-Jenner household — has by no means been as swept up within the celeb of all of it as a few of her sisters (ahem, Kim Kardashian), and her participation within the household’s actuality exhibits has been known as into query earlier than. It appears like welcoming her son Rocky with Travis Barker in 2023 allegedly impressed her additional to get away from the media frenzy, as a supply advised Star:
Kourtney’s been distancing herself for some time now, and she or he’s method happier for it. She’s not keen on being a part of the circus anymore. She’s all for trying glam when the time is true, however she’s leaned into a way more low-key, grounded life-style since marrying Travis and turning into a mother once more. Her priorities have completely shifted — she’s specializing in household, not worrying about how she seems to be on Instagram.
Whereas Kourtney Kardashian hasn’t stated something personally about decreasing her function within the public eye, it’s fairly on-brand given what we’ve seen up to now. She stepped away when issues obtained “violent” within the Retaining Up with the Kardashians Season 18 premiere in 2020, saying the setting round her household had turn into “poisonous.”
She’s additionally made no secret of prioritizing her husband Travis Barker and the seven kids of their blended household, so one can think about how onerous she “hit the roof” when her youngest sons 1-year-old Rocky Barker and 10-year-old Reign Disick obtained pulled into the general public feud between her stepdaughter Alabama and Bhad Bhabie.
Not solely does Kourtney Kardashian allegedly assume stepping out of the highlight is one of the best factor for her, she thinks Kim, Khloé and the remainder may stand to do the identical after almost 20 years of actuality tv. The supply continued:
[She] believes her sisters can be happier, too, in the event that they adopted her lead. She worries they’re going to look again at some point and understand they didn’t really take pleasure in any of this. They’re consistently filming or on the point of movie, or enhancing photos from no matter they simply filmed.
That does really sound depressing.
The opposite Kardashian sisters are already experiencing a few of the pitfalls of getting their youthful years so simply accessible to their very own kids (KUWTK might be streamed with a Peacock subscription and The Kardashians with a Hulu subscription) and have needed to make guidelines in opposition to the children watching them.
We’ll should see if Kourtney Kardashian is, in actual fact, featured much less on the upcoming seventh season and past, assuming Hulu doesn’t “kancel” The Kardashians.
