Kourtney Kardashian got a laugh out of the October 22 episode of The Kardashians, and then she got a confession out of it too. Chatting with her stepson and his friend, she told the two young men they should wait until they were married before hooking up with anyone. A producer asked whether she and Travis Barker had followed that rule. Her answer was no. Then she brought up Kanye West.
Kourtney Kardashian’s Dating Advice Revelation
Kourtney’s line to the boys was a joke. Everyone in the room knew it. She married Travis in 2022, and her life before him was hardly a monastery.
So when the producer pushed, she went somewhere unexpected. She remembered a conversation with Kim Kardashian’s ex, who apparently felt strongly about her love life. According to E! Online, she recalled him telling her that God was calling him to deliver a message. The message, in his words: “you should not hook up with any randoms.” Not until she was with her husband, he added.
She admitted, flatly, that she did not listen.
What Kanye West Told Her
Kanye framing dating advice as a word from above is very on brand. Kourtney Kardashian shared advice she received from Kanye West about dating.
Unsolicited advice from an in-law lands in a strange place. It comes with closeness but not quite permission. Kourtney’s response, years later and on camera, was to tell the story as a punchline and admit she ignored it. No bitterness in the retelling. No sign she regrets the choice either.
Funny twist, though. The joke she made to her stepson was basically Kanye’s advice, recycled for the next generation. The difference is she was laughing when she said it.
Kourtney and Travis Before the Wedding
Kourtney Kardashian has been open about how the Travis romance started, and E! Online described it as far from a small thing. Kourtney and Travis shared outings with their kids before dating. Their families mixed constantly. In a 2022 episode of the show, she said the two of them would almost play house, doing things together with their kids, going to museums and going to church.
Her closest friends saw it before she acted on it. She said they had always told her she should hook up with Travis. She also said she had always been attracted to him and that the timing was finally right.
Texting started it. She described putting it out there with flirtatious conversation, and she was the one who made the first move after their first date. Once they fell in love, she said, they both knew it was different from anything either of them had had before.
Friendship first, family time first, and romance later. Plenty of relationships run the other way, with the spark arriving before anyone knows how the other person handles a Sunday with the kids. Kourtney and Travis had years of museum trips and church mornings before a single flirty text. By the time it turned romantic, the everyday part was already tested.
Kanye wanted her to wait for a husband. She didn’t wait, and she found one anyway. Kourtney and Travis have been married since 2022 and share a son.
