Kourtney Kardashian

Kourtney was born in Los Angeles, California to Robert Kardashian and Kris Jenner. She is the eldest of four children from Bob and Kris. After her parents divorce, she spent her time between her father's and mother's houses in Beverly Hills. Her mother married Bruce Jenner, 1976 Olympic Gold Metal Champion for the Decathlon and later had two children with him. After the O.J. Simpson murder trial propelled Kourtney's father, Bob, into the spotlight (he was a member of the "Dream Team" of lawyers defending the accused murderer in what journalists hail the "Trial of the Century"), her mother decided it would be safer to move her family to Hidden Hills, California.

Kardashian first became known to reality-television audiences on the 2004 series, Filthy Rich: Cattle Drive, on which she earned money for charity. In 2007, Kourtney Kardashian, in addition to her mother Kris; her step-father Bruce; her siblings Kim, Khloé, and Rob; and half-sisters Kendall and Kylie were commissioned to star in the reality television series Keeping Up with the Kardashians.The series proved successful for E!, the network on which it is broadcast, and has led to the creations of spin-offs including Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami, Khloé & Lamar and Kourtney and Kim Take New York.

Kourtney and her mother opened children's clothing boutiques called Smooch in the Los Angeles area and New York City; the boutiques carry the brand Crib Rock Couture. With sisters Kim and Khloe, Kardashian co-owns and operates D-A-S-H, a clothing boutique in Los Angeles, Miami, and New York City.

Currently Kardashian helps manage her multiple clothing lines and continues to shoot episodes for Keeping Up With The Kardashians. She also launched her own website called "Poosh" in early 2019.
