It's official - Kourtney Kardashian is the internet's favorite KarJenner sister! The reality star earned praise after posting a natural video that showed her unedited face, with laugh lines and all, looking extra happy on her 44th birthday.
Scroll down to see the photos.
The clip showed the actress glowing with joy in the video, as a mariachi band was singing to her outside the driveway. She was rocking a black hoodie paired with black trousers, while her hair was in a casual ponytail.
With minimal makeup on her face, Kourt's fine wrinkles and laugh lines were showing as she was giggling at the surprise private concert her husband set up.
A screenshot from the special moment was posted on Reddit by a fan, prompting the community to have a discussion about Kourtney's evidently happier, new life.
People pointed out that Kourtney's happiness was radiating through the screen. "Being in love looks good on her," one person wrote, giving credit to Kourt's husband, Travis Barker, for the big smile on her face.
One user reminded everyone that you don't need a partner to find true happiness. Maybe Kourtney finally worked on her own issues and found internal validation!
Four years ago, Kourtney had an emotional moment on camera as her 40th birthday was approaching. The Poosh founder opened up to sister Khloe about how she was feeling lost.
"Sometimes I’m just, like, it makes you really like analyze just like where you’re at, and then I’m like sometimes, ‘What am I doing?’" she said as she wiped down tears.
"I really don't think your soul is happy, I think you feel incomplete somewhere. You're scared," Khloe advised.
Kourtney's apparent unhappiness was pretty obvious in their reality show. Aside from her fears about turning 40, she was also dealing with her tumultuous relationship with her children's dad, Scott Disick.
There was tension in many of the episodes and she often fought with her sisters.
In one episode, Kourtney and Kim got into a physical altercation after Kim's comments about their work ethic triggered Kourtney.
Watch how the fight unfolded below:
While it was sad to see her emotional breakdown play out so publicly, the tough season is over and Kourt is now in her happy girl era.
“Shooting our show, it became a really toxic environment at the end for me,” Kourtney said in an interview with Bustle.
She also admitted that she wasn't in the happiest place four years ago. “I would fight with my sisters. There was, like, just a lot going on. And even for me personally, I wasn’t in the happiest place.”
When the family returned on TV for The Kardashians on Hulu, the audience got to see a completely different Kourtney.
Kourtney found her soulmate in the Blink-182 drummer, who has been friends with her for a long time. The two got married three times in 2022!
Kourtney has also been an inspiring force of nature for curvy women. When she gained a thicker figure, she embraced her body changes graciously and posed natural-looking selfies all the time. Fans couldn't help but compare her to her sisters, who are notoriously known for editing pics to look skinny and poreless.
Kourtney said in an episode of their show that she is "channeling that queen energy." “I also love being curvier. It’s just channeling that queen energy and embracing the woman that I am.”
