Kourtney Kardashian has opened up about embracing her body and revealed that she was “miserable” when she was thinner.
In episode three of the second season of The Kardashians, the 43-year-old stripped down to her underwear and fishnets for a photo shoot with Bustle.
Kourtney told her team that husband Travis Barker has helped her embrace her new curves, that have come as a result of their IVF treatment.
She explained that when she was with her ex-boyfriend Scott Disick, she weighed roughly 95 pounds, whereas now she sits at 115 pounds.
As she changed for the shoot, she said: “Bustle is a digital magazine for young women and they have asked me to do their cover. I really love their creative concept so I decided to do it.”
The reality star said that “all of the hormones” the doctors have put her on have taken a “toll” on her body and it’s taken her a while to accept the changes.
“Eight months of IVF treatment has definitely taken a toll on my body, mentally and physically,” Kourtney continued.
“It's taken a lot to get me to the place of feeling really comfortable and happy with the changes.”
She said that countless followers have commented on her weight gain and asked if she’s pregnant, which is bittersweet as “obviously we wish that, but if it's in God's plan, then it is.”
Kourtney praised her husband Travis for being “so supportive” and always pointing out how “perfect” she is whenever she has a wobble about her body image.
“Having a partner who's so supportive of me and always complimenting me no matter what, it's just really helped me to embrace the changes, actually to the point that I love the changes,” Kourtney confessed.
She admitted that she’s “so into [her] thicker body” and “embracing the woman” she is, and finds it “cringy” to look back at her thinner frame, as it reminds her of her “toxic relationship” and being “super anxious” of her size.
Kourtney reflected on how she felt back then and said: “When I was super skinny, it's like a time I was super anxious, not about eating, not about staying at a certain weight, but like just in like toxic relationships.”
“I used to always say this, just when I'm super skinny, just know I'm not happy... And then I would be like - 105 became my new normal weight. I'm 115. I used to be stuck on the number.”
Kourtney didn’t mention Scott specifically when talking about her toxic relationships, but back in 2013, on her reality show with sister Kim Kard ashian, Scott said he wanted her to weigh 93 pounds.
In an episode of Kourtney & Kim Take Miami, Scott asked Kourtney how much she weighed when they met, as he thought her “body was banging” when he first saw her on the beach.
She guessed around 95 pounds, to which Scott replied: “I feel like 93 is the dream.” At the time, Kourtney slammed his response and said: “He is so disgusting.”
She has been dating Travis Barker since January 2021, before the couple tied the knot earlier this year in May 2022 in several lavish weddings.
The Kardashians streams on Disney Plus in the UK.
