Early Life

When discussing Kourtney’s education, she went to Marymount High School and later enrolled in Southern Methodist University in Dallas. However, she later switched to the University of Arizona, where she graduated with a degree in theatre.
Personal Life
Kourtney’s love life was showcased at length on their reality show, KUTWK. She started dating Scott Disick and the couple had a very unstable relationship. Although they never married each other, the couple is parents to three children – Mason, Penelope, and Reign. They officially parted ways in 2015.
Soon after, Kourtney started dating Younes Bendjiman in 2016 and separated in 2018. She later started dating Travis Barker and the couple tied the knot in 2022. As of 2023, Kourtney and Travis are expecting their first child.
Career
Kourtney’s rise to fame didn’t kickstart with KUTWK, although that contributed to a significant amount of fame. Her debut appearance was in a show named “Filthy Rich: Cattle Drive.”
But, her and her entire family’s name was catapulted in the media when Kim Kardashian’s sex tape with Ray J was leaked. That thrust Kourtney, Kim, and their entire family into the foreground. With the initial fame that they gained from that tape release, their family was approached by E! to star in their reality television series, “Keeping Up with the Kardashians.”
Since its release, KUTWK is a show that’s still a global success and is currently streaming on Hulu with new seasons. There have been several spin-off series inspired by the show. Her entrepreneurial journey started with a clothing store “Smooch.”
Soon after, the three sisters came together to start their clothing store named DASH, alongside their mother. This happened while their reality series was running. Besides starring in their reality television series, Kourtney also starred in the show, “One Life to Live.”
Kourtney has collaborated with her sister, Kylie Jenner, and released her makeup products under the KourtneyxKylie line. However, in 2019, she launched her lifestyle brand, Poosh, where she prioritizes wellness and lifestyle-related content via blogs, virtual events, etc.
Being in the limelight for the majority of her adult life, it isn’t even a surprise that Kourtney has been amidst multiple controversies, alongside her sisters.
