Who is the older sister of the Kardashians? The creator of 'Poosh' has more secret up her sleeve and here we tell you ALL.
The sisters of the Kardashian-Jenner family have decided to share every moment of their lives in front of the cameras, that is why you surely see them everywhere: Kourtney, Khloé, Kim, Kylie and Kendall have become some of the most famous celebrities famous in history.
The eldest sister of the clan, Kourtney Kardashian is one of the most controversial women in the family especially due to her stormy relationship with Scott Disick and the recent fights she has had with her other sisters. Surely you already know all these stories backwards and forwards, but even if you think you know T-O-D-O about her, you may not have heard these things about Kourtney Kardashian before!
Let's start with the basics ...
Things you didn't know about Kourtney Kardashian
When was she born and what is Kourtney Kardashian's full name?
Kourtney Mary Kardashian was born on April 18, 1979 in Los Angeles, California. Like her sisters Kim and Khloé, her father is the famous lawyer Robert Kardashian, who had Armenian roots; That is why in 2019 Kourtney and Kim decided to travel to Armenia to get baptized. At this ceremony she was baptized with the Armenian name "Gayane" so her full name is Kourtney Mary Gayane Kardashian.
Her children and her romance with Scott Disick started in Mexico
The celeb she had 3 children with Scott Disick with whom she has had a stormy relationship over the years. Many sources have confirmed that Scott has suffered from addiction problems on several occasions, which is why the couple decided to separate a few years ago. But did you know that Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick met in Mexico? The two were at a party at the home of their mutual friend, Joe Francis, who first introduced them. The couple began dating in 2016.
All three of Kourtney's children have longer names than you expected, they all have two names and carry Disick's last name so none of them will become part of the "Kardashian" clan. In fact, the famous surname may not survive the next generation, as only Dream, Rob's daughter, bears that name.
The full names of her children are: Mason Dash Disick, Penelope Scotland Disick and Reign Aston Disick.
Mason's middle name is Dash, just like the famous clothing brand launched by Kim, Khloé and Kourtney however this is not the reason why Kourtney decided to name her first child that. Actually "Dash" is an abbreviation of Kardashian and the sisters have said that that was the nickname of her father, that is why they decided to name the store and Kourtney after Mason. It's a small way to pay tribute to her father.
How did Kourtney start her professional life?
In reality, Kourtney is the only one in the Kardashian-Jenner family who has finished a degree. The celeb moved to Tucson and studied theater arts at the University of Arizona. Kourtney also has a major in Spanish studies, that's why you've probably heard that she sometimes says words in this language.
While she was studying, Kourtney was a partner with Nicole Richie. Years later, Nicole's younger sister, Sofia Richie, is one of Kylie Jenner's best friends and Scott Disick's ex-girlfriend. Actually the two families (Kardashian and Richie) have known each other for years.
Believe it or not, Keeping up with the Kardashians was not the first time that Kourtney participated in a television show. In 2005 the celeb was part of another reality show called: "Filthy Rich: Cattle Drive". This program was also broadcast by E! and it consisted of taking a group of privileged boys to work on a ranch. The show was very similar to what Paris Hilton later did for his own Reality "The Simple Life" in which Nicole Richie also participated.
In 2016, Kourtney, Kim and Khloé opened the fashion and accessories store "DASH" but what you probably didn't know is that Kourtney Kardashian and her mom, Kris Jenner, had a different store called "Smooch" where they sold clothes from baby. The store closed in 2009 after Mason was born.
The Kardashian sisters also had a spin off show related to their store. The reality show was called "Dash dolls" and it followed the lives of the girls who worked inside the stores. The program ended in 2015 but the store remained open until 2018. Kourtney Kardashian was the only sister who opposed the store closing. The reason? As she wrote in her app and as we could see in Keeping up with the Kardashians, the store had great sentimental value for Kourtney because it was what she united the sisters and gave them a new beginning after the death of her dad.
Believe it or not, Kourtney has also co-authored two books with her sisters: in 2010 the three released the book 'Kardashian Konfidential' in which they revealed various secrets of their life, their makeup and fashion tips and talked about their relationship as sisters. For 2011 they released a novel called 'Dollhouse' that tells the story of the Romero sisters: Kamille, Kassidy and Kyle, a reference to the Kardashians in real life.
Speaking of books, on several occasions Kourtney has said that she loves to collect books and black and white photographs. She even has an Andy Warhol print in her kitchen.
Kourtney Kardashian hobbies
Another of Kourtney's passions? The interior design! On several occasions the celeb has said that this is one of the things that she admires the most and that she likes to do the most. But, in recent years, the decoration that appears in her house always goes according to what her children need. Let's remember the impressive 'playhouse' that she has in her garden:
Speaking of her children, Kourtney thinks that her priority in her life is to be a mom. In fact, this has been the cause of many of her conflicts with her sisters in recent years. Kim and Khloé complained that Kourtney was not filming as long as they were for Keeping up with the Kardashians which caused a physical fight between her and Kim.
The funny thing is, a lot of rumors say that the reason Kourtney got pregnant with Mason in the first place was to save the show. According to some media in the United States, Keeping up with the Kardashians was facing very low ratings and the solution was to introduce a new controversy in the lives of the sisters: the pregnancy of Kourtney Kardashian. This made many people feel more identified with the lifestyle of the family and they returned to see the show. These rumors have never been confirmed, but the truth is that Kourtney is very happy with her family and the more homely side of her.
How much is Kourtney Kardashian worth?
Kourtney's fortune is estimated to be worth approximately $ 35 million. Most of this money comes from her salary for Keeping up with the Kardashians and the rest is from the various brand endorsements she represents.
Does Kourtney Kardashian have another career?
Before deciding to dedicate herself fully to her family and the show, Kourtney Kardashian tried her luck as an actress. The celeb she participated in the soap opera "One Life to Live" with the role of a lawyer named Kassandra Kavanaugh. This soap opera has been on the air for more than 43 years on the ABC television network.
However, her entertainment career started much earlier as Kourtney has said that one of her earliest jobs was as an assistant director on a movie. Her job was to be on set and let the production know when a scene was starting and ending.
The surgery that Kourtney Kardashian did admit
The gift of birthday no. Kourtney Kardashian's 22 was surgery to increase the size of her breasts. This is one of the only procedures Kourtney has admitted to having over the years. The celeb she has always said to lead a very healthy lifestyle, everything she consumes must be organic and gluten-free.
In recent years, much has been heard about Kim Kardashian's new career as a lawyer, but in fact it was Kourtney who first thought about studying law. According to her older sister Kardashian, she came to think of studying law before choosing a career in theater arts.
