Kourtney Kardashian is ready to turn her back on her famous family. The eldest Kardashian daughter has reportedly had enough of the drama and scandal that follows the KarJenners. So to keep her peace of mind and privacy, she is checking out, and she couldn’t be happier about it.
The mother of four has reportedly pulled the plug on the Kardashian circus. At 46, Kourtney Kardashian has quietly distanced herself from the constant filming, fame-chasing, and filtered perfection that her famous family still thrives on. Instead of chasing headlines, Kourtney is chasing real moments with her husband, Travis Barker, and their growing family.
Sources say she’s been pulling away for a while now. She’s loving the break from all things Kardashian. Since marrying Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker in 2022 and welcoming their baby boy, Rocky, in November 2023, Kourtney’s entire world has shifted, according to Star Magazine sources.
She’s swapped red carpets for park playdates and photo shoots for family trips. In addition to Rocky, Kourtney Kardashian’s parental plate is full. She’s raising three kids, Mason, Penelope, and Reign, from her previous relationship with Scott Disick, while Travis brings Landon, Alabama, and stepdaughter Atiana into the mix. These days, her idea of glam is being a supportive stepmom, planning birthday trips, and staying present, not perfect.
Kourtney Kardashian Unplugs From The Kardashian Machine
While her sisters Kim, Khloé, Kylie, Kendall, and mom Kris were soaking up the billionaire sparkle at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s over-the-top wedding in Venice, Kourtney was noticeably absent. Instead, she was celebrating daughter Penelope’s 13th birthday with a much more meaningful Italian getaway of her own. That’s Kourtney’s vibe now. Fewer spotlights, more substance.
“I feel like it’s in the best way I can be there to be supportive or really in any way that they want me to be for as much or as little as they want,” Kourt states.
Insiders say Kourtney genuinely believes her sisters are stuck in a fame loop. Which she believes is not making them any happier. She’s reportedly worried they’ll wake up one day and realize their lives were just a blur of filming, filters, and fake smiles. Kourtney’s out here living in the moment, while the rest of the clan is busy editing it.
While Kourtney is basking in her low-key lifestyle, the ripple effects are reportedly being felt hard by none other than momager-in-chief Kris Jenner. With one of her main stars turning her back on the spotlight, insiders say Kris is likely devastated. Losing Kourtney’s presence in the family reality series could spell trouble for the Kardashian brand, and Kris knows it.
Her daughters are still deep in the fame game, but Kourtney’s absence leaves a noticeable hole. With one less Kardashian front and center, Kris may be turning her sights to the one family member who’s been hiding in the background. That would be Rob Kardashian. Rob’s been keeping a low profile for years. With Kris likely in full crisis-control mode, it wouldn’t be a shock if she’s trying to nudge him back in.
While the rest of the Kardashian crew scrambles for screen time and selfie lighting, Kourtney Kardashian lives unbothered in sweatpants. And if she has her way, she won’t be crawling back anytime soon.
