Kourtney Kardashian on 'Not Skinny But Not Fat' Podcast: Quotes

Spill the matcha! Kourtney Kardashian got candid during a Tuesday, October 4, appearance on Amanda Hirsch’s “Not Skinny but Not Fat” podcast. The Kardashians star opened up about her marriage to Travis Barker, past romance with Scott Disick, where her relationship stands with sisters Khloé and Kim Kardashian and more.

One of Kourtney, 43, and Travis’ major storylines on the family’s Hulu show followed their IVF journey as they tried to get pregnant with their first child together. The Poosh founder shares three kids — Mason Penelope and Reign — with Scott, 39, while Travis, 46, has two teenagers, Landon and Alabama, with his ex-wife Shanna Moakler. The Blink-182 drummer is also very close with his step-daughter, Atiana De La Hoya, whom Shanna, 47, shares with ex Oscar De La Hoya.

After undergoing a couple of rounds of IVF (in vitro fertilization), Kourtney and Travis opted to stop the process and instead try to conceive naturally.

“I decided it really took a toll on my health — and even mentally [with] the hormones. Like the medication you have to get, [you get] put to sleep every time. So, I know that it’s helped, you know, so many people, but it’s just not for me,” Kourtney explained on the Dear Media podcast.

She believes IVF even had a neurological effect after getting a brain scan. “It affects your adrenals, your thyroid, your hormones,” the California native continued. “Like, my energy levels since starting that have been really down, and I haven’t done it since probably January or February.”

Kourtney admitted she felt “pushed into doing IVF” because of her age. “It says go right away,” she said about starting the process over age 40. “So, I felt a little bit pushed. So, we are for now done with IVF, and we say prayers and hope that God blesses us with the baby.”

In the meantime, the pair certainly don’t mind practicing. Kourtney doubled down on the fact that her and Travis’ PDA is 100 percent authentic — a fact she also said during season 2 of The Kardashians. However, the Lemme founder explained how they navigate their hot romance in front of their blended family.

“We try to be respectful too of the kids and want everyone to feel comfortable,” she explained. “Sometimes we’ll be hugging or just like staring into each other’s eyes and the kids will be like, ‘Ew, gross.’ You know, even the older kids. But I think also they love that we love each other.”

Kourtney and Travis Don’t Live Together

Kourtney acknowledged that she and Travis still have their separate houses but “there will be” a joint household one day.
“We want our kids to also feel really comfortable and they have both lived in their homes their whole lives for the most part … and we are a block away,” Kourtney explained. “He comes over and it’s like we have our routines within our house. Like, you know when the kids are at their dad’s house, I stay at his house and there’s still nights when we’ll stay at each other’s houses in between.”
They also have an agreement that Travis swings by Kourtney’s house every night to at least give her a kiss.

Are Kourtney and Khloe Still Close?

Many Keeping Up With the Kardashians fans will remember that Kourtney and Khloé used to be attached at the hip. However, in recent years, Khloé and Kim have seemingly become much closer. Kourtney noted that the pair both having their daughters — True Thompson and Chicago West — in the same year “really bonded” them.
“They were going through the same things, and then, I felt like that’s when I was unhappy with the show,” she explained, adding that she felt like her siblings were “ganging up” on her when she wanted to step back from KUWTK.
She continued, “I think I also started therapy at the time and then became more self-aware … I felt just really sensitive and I was used to being such a b—h for so many years. Without any care. No one could shake me, no one could rattle me. Nobody could say something mean to me because I would say something 20 times meaner back.”
That being said, Kourtney assured she and Khloé “are good.”

About Penelope’s TikTok

“She is my girl that I do not worry about,” Kourtney gushed about her middle child, noting that their friends say Penelope is her “mini-me.”

“To her core. We’ve spent so much time together. I don’t worry about her,” the reality star continued. “She’s slept with me every day since she was born and pretty much still. Unless she has a friend sleepover or unless she leaves me to go sleep at Travis’ or Auntie KoKo’s or Auntie Kiki’s, but besides that, we are so close.

How Kourtney and Travis Got Together

Kourtney and Travis were friends for nearly a decade before their relationship turned romantic, despite the reality star admitting that he felt like “home” to her.

“I was afraid of anything that could be real. And he was real,” Kourtney said about why they didn’t get together sooner, noting that the musician never made a “physical move” but previously asked her out on dates.

“I remember telling my therapist, I was like, ‘Travis asked me to go to the movies.’ And she was like, ‘And are you gonna go?’ And I was like, ‘I could never go. I could never.’ … I just had such a guard up for so many years, and I just think it was too real.”
