from her first job to her short-lived
acting career this is kourtney
kardashian things you didn't know about
her
number 13 beginnings this kardashian
sister was born in los angeles
california in april 1979. she's
currently 39 years old her father was
robert george kardashian an attorney who
was most well known for defending o.j
simpson during his infamous trial but he
passed away from esophageal cancer in
september 2003.
her mother is of course chris however
her parents got a divorce in 1991 and
her mom tied the knot with bruce
jenner now caitlyn after they got
married courtney gained more siblings
including burton brody brandon
casey kylie and kendall she went to a
roman catholic high school called
marymount high in her hometown
after she received her diploma she went
to dallas texas to enroll at southern
methodist university where she stayed
for two years
after that she moved to tucson arizona
number 12 broken bone
although most people only see her
graceful side at events and various red
carpets there was a time when courtney
wasn't exactly the most careful person
it was a long long time ago however when
she was 5 years old she was playing on
her swing set when things took a turn
for the worse
she fell off and broke her collarbone
but it looks like things healed just
fine
number 11 assistant all of the
kardashians are known nowadays for their
glamorous lifestyles
but they all had to start somewhere and
courtney was no exception although
considering the average person's
introduction to the working world
her first job certainly seems more
interesting than most of ours she began
as a movie production assistant and was
tasked with the essential roles of
yelling cut
and rolling during filming number 10
college many people believe that their
kardashian sisters aren't school
educated because they've been in the
public eye for so long
and have been making money through
various business ventures and shows
however despite this common belief
courtney did attend university
we already noted that she went to
southern methodist university in dallas
texas
but she also enrolled at the university
of arizona while she was living in
tucson
in fact she received her degree there
you might find this next bit pretty
surprising considering her acting career
never took off but courtney got her
bachelor's degree in theater arts plus
she minored in spanish
you go girl she also planned on
attending law school but decided not to
go last minute however
courtney thought about picking up where
she left off more recently a source
revealed to radar online in september
2017
courtney wants to get her masters in
spanish and is looking at doing a law
degree online which will take at least
three years
that's impossible right now because of
the family but courtney's also been the
type to have long-term plans
number nine public speaking you probably
would have never guessed that any of the
kardashian jenners were afraid of public
speaking but courtney has struggled with
this fear her entire life
in october 2016 she interviewed with
today extra
and admitted her problems with stage
fright courtney noted regarding her
speech at the united kingdom's glamour
woman of the year awards
getting on the stage at the awards and
like having to speak freaks me out
she added i failed two classes in
college because i couldn't give the
speech
like we had to do a project at the end
and i just wouldn't show up she even
admitted that during the awards ceremony
she thought what if i just run to the
bathroom and say i'm going to the
bathroom and really leave
what's going to happen to me like
nothing i'm not going to go to jail of
course she didn't actually run and hide
in the bathroom she pulled through and
did the speech
number eight getting famous you might
not have known this but kourtney
kardashian started out on television
before she and her sisters made it big
with keeping up with the kardashians in
2007.
two years before their famous series
aired courtney was on the reality show
filthy rich cattle drive
during which daughters and sons of
various celebrities would be taken on a
cattle drive to try and live without the
luxuries they'd become so accustomed to
she went on the series to make money for
charity however she gained the majority
of her fame once kim's famous tape with
ray j
leaked in 2007. four years after it was
created this event is also what probably
sparked the popularity of the ongoing
keeping up show
number seven acting since her degree was
earned in the theater arts field it
shouldn't be shocking that courtney
always wanted to try her hand in acting
her dreams came true on march 2011. she
played cassandra cavanaugh in an episode
of the soap opera one life to live
see what they did with the case everyone
she's a true kardashian acting or not
courtney was a little concerned while
filming the episode and later stated i
thought i'd have two lines but my script
is so long
i'm not an actress there was also a
kissing scene that made her feel a bit
uncomfortable
then lover scott disick was there to
help with smooching practice but
courtney was still a little freaked out
regarding her on-screen make-out partner
david fumero she said i looked him up
online i'm like i need to see this guy
is he 99 years old like what is he and
he's a very handsome guy
so that makes it easier she added i
probably ate a hundred mints that day
but i'm still such a prude
number six television shows other than
her brief soap opera appearance courtney
is extremely well recognized for the
reality television show she starred in
with her family
after her time on filthy rich cattle
drive keeping up with the kardashians
began and it is still going strong today
the idea of making the show started in
2006 after kris jenner projected an
interest in being on a tv show with her
family
she said everybody thinks my children
could create a bunch of drama in their
lives but it's something that i felt i
didn't even have to think about it would
be natural but you might not have known
that the person behind the scenes of
this wild show is ryan seacrest
he had a production company of his own
and decided to run with the idea after
he had a cameraman film a kardashian
sunday barbecue and sharing the tape
with e
they picked up the show boone and murray
productions and seacrest produced it it
premiered on october 14 2007
and mostly focuses on kim chloe and
courtney regarding the success of
keeping up seacrest later stated
at the heart of the series despite the
cat fights and endless sarcasm is a
family that truly loves and supports one
another the familiar dynamics of this
family make them one hollywood bunch
that is sure to entertain
there are currently 16 seasons of
keeping up with the kardashians
but courtney has been on several
spin-off series as well including
courtney and chloe take miami
courtney and kim take new york chloe and
lamar courtney and chloe take the
hamptons
i am kate and dash dolls number five
spider fear
those of you who watch keeping up with
the kardashians probably know that kim
has dealt with spider fear for a long
time but did you know that courtney has
also been terrified of the eight-legged
critters for almost her whole life
apparently when she was just a kid she
watched the film
arachnophobia with her dad during the
wee hours of the night he put fake
spiders inside her bed
when she woke up and saw them it marked
the beginning of her fear in 2018 her
nightmares were made into a reality when
tarantulas invaded her house
one keeping up episode shows the giant
spiders in action walking across
courtney's backyard she had pest control
come before that but it didn't put a
stop to the hairy arachnids when she
called them again during the episode to
have her house sprayed again the pes
guys informed her that it was tarantula
mating season
yikes they noted that it would take a
long time to get rid of the spiders
since they were out and about and
breeding
courtney said i just will not feel
comfortable until these tarantulas are
fully gone i don't think any of us could
be able to sleep peacefully in this
situation
number four butter the first thing
you're going to think when you hear this
one
is um ew but here courtney out before
you jump to conclusions
she drinks ghee every morning for those
of you who don't know ghee is a type of
clarified butter that was created in
india essentially yes it is the same
stuff you dip your crab legs in
in 2016 courtney noted ghee is the first
thing i put in my body every morning
i take one big teaspoon of ghee every
morning and melt it on the stove in a
pan and drink it out of a cute little
ceramic cup
after i take it i don't eat anything for
20 minutes and then i drink a glass of
water before eating food
sorry courtney but just because you put
it in a cute cup doesn't make it any
less disgusting sounding however
she believes there's a good reason for
doing this she said it's a healthy fat
like coconut oil meaning the fatty acids
are absorbed directly into the liver and
burnt his energy
she added that she and her family use it
for more than just a morning beverage
stating we make french toast grilled
cheese sandwiches quesadillas basically
anything we can with ghee
unfortunately the science doesn't really
back courtney's claim a co-author of the
book the calendar diet a month-to-month
guide to losing weight while living your
life
named karen ansel pointed out ghee is
almost entirely fat and a large chunk of
that fat is saturated fat
known to raise levels of harmful ldl
cholesterol which is linked to heart
disease okay so maybe we were right to
judge immediately but
gee seems to be working for courtney so
more power to her number three
superstitious
another thing you might not have known
about kourtney kardashian is that she's
pretty superstitious
especially when it comes to traveling
she told people when i go on an airplane
it's right foot first and then i kiss
two fingers and touch the plane when i
take off i cross two fingers on my right
hand
and put both thumbs up this sounds
pretty strange but those of you with the
fear of flying can probably relate to
courtney's ritual
it must get tiring with how much the
kardashians have to travel number two
scott disick
kourtney kardashian's most famous
relationship was with scott disick they
met during a 2006 party in mexico that
was thrown by joe francis the creators
of girls gone wild their relationship
was made public in 2007
when keeping up debuted and he was
featured on the show however less than a
year after that courtney and scott broke
up after she accused him of being
unfaithful their breakup didn't last
long and they told the public about
their reunion in august 2009. courtney
announced that she was pregnant around
the same time and she gave birth to
mason that december after another
breakup and makeup they had their second
baby penelope in july 2012.
about two years later courtney had their
third child reign aston disick however
in july 2015 the duo announced that they
were splitting for good after scott was
seen cheating with an ex-girlfriend
then courtney allegedly began getting
romantic with none other than
justin bieber by october of that year
scott had apparently gained control of
his life by going to rehab for substance
issues then in october 2016
courtney started dating eunice benjamin
a model that's about 14 years younger
and a foot taller than she is
after two years together however
courtney and eunice called it quits
luckily her relationship with scott has
become more laid back over time
she and her former boo began
co-parenting like prose in 2017. they
even spent the holidays together in 2018
and courtney posted several instagram
photos of them working together
for the sake of their kids in november
of that year she even accompanied scott
and his girlfriend for dinner
and now for our number one don't forget
to subscribe number one
mason we already mentioned that courtney
has three children mason dash penelope
scotland and reign aston disick
but let's talk a little more about them
when she was pregnant with her first
baby she was only interested in the name
mason
she later noted the first time i started
looking at baby names mason was the only
one i liked it was the only one that
stuck with me
right before he was born i told my aunt
that we were thinking about going with
that for a name she told me that mason
means the same thing in english that
kardashian means in armenian
stoneworker another aunt told me my
great-uncle used to use the name mason
when he made dinner reservations
because kardashian was too long when i
heard that i thought oh my god it's
meant to be her other kids names were
chosen mostly because she thought they
were fitting and adorable
she was right there's no denying that
courtney's children have cute names and
charming looks to boot
