Lo and behold this light ended up popping into Kourtney s life in the form of her longtime close friend Travis Barker The pair began dating in October 2020 and their relationship quickly blossomed — to the point that they got married in a lavish Italian ceremony earlier this year

Eight months of IVF treatment has definitely taken a toll on my body mentally and physically and I think it s taken a lot to get me to the place of feeling really comfortable and happy with the changes she says in a confessional

If you know Kourt you ll be well aware that she s no stranger to hitting back at trolls on Instagram who — for some reason — think they re entitled to assume that she s pregnant whenever she posts an Instagram photo Just last month in fact the Poosh founder was flooded with comments speculating that she was holding a baby bump in one of her posts

Wasting no time however Kourt shut down the assumptions as she responded to a user who wrote Wait a minute did I miss that she s pregnant Kourt replied nope but you re missing a woman s body

Elaborating further in a confessional Kourtney says Having a partner who s so supportive of me and always complimenting me no matter what it s just helped me to really embrace the changes — and actually to the point where I love the changes now

My ass is amazing I m so into my thicker body she says before later adding I also love being curvier It s just channeling that queen energy and embracing the woman that I am

Meanwhile Kourtney goes on to reflect on her past weight claiming that she was super skinny when she was in past toxic relationships

When I was super skinny it was a time that I was super anxious Not about eating not about staying at a certain weight but just in toxic relationships she continues

I used to always say this When I m super skinny just know I m not happy she adds And while Kourtney doesn t name any names she is seemingly referring to her rocky past relationship with Scott much of which was blighted by his cheating scandals and his alcohol and drug use

In fact fans had previously noted that Kourtney seems happier than ever lately while the reality star herself has gone from the self-proclaimed bitch of KUWTK to someone with a much healthier mindset and an abundance of loving feelings
