Kourtney Kardashian's dreams of flying solo are getting closer to reality! The soon-to-be mother of four allegedly wants a break from her family's Hulu show to focus on welcoming her first child with Travis Barker.
The firstborn of the iconic Karjenner clan needs no introduction, as she and her siblings are some of the world's most renowned reality TV stars. However, the bond that generated several spin-offs seems chipping away at the edges.
The oldest of the brood recently developed a rocky relationship with her sister Kim Kardashian, an issue the 44-year-old aired on their show. After sources claimed the California beauty wished to have a different program without her siblings, new information hinted at the same notion.
Kourtney Kardashian's Fourth Pregnancy Sparks Concern About Her Commitment To Her Family's TV Show
A month after announcing she was expecting a son with her husband, the Poosh founder's good news was the source of her loved ones' uneasiness. Sources told The U.S. Sun some members of the Kar-Jenner clan were afraid of how the baby would affect his mother's career.
The revelation came weeks after the entertainer's family excitedly celebrated the news of Kourtney's pregnancy and her baby's gender reveal. Despite their happiness for the entrepreneur, the 44-year-old's ongoing drama with Kim could not be ignored.
According to the insider, the "Kardashian Konfidential" co-author "wants to scale back" on filming the clan's Hulu series. The reasons for this adjustment were her growing family with Barker and her beef with the KKW Beauty founder.
"The drama and tension have been building for a while - Kim and Kourt just don't get along right now, and Kourt is finding it too much hard work," the informant explained, claiming the soon-to-be mother of four no longer enjoyed her time on "The Kardashians" show.
"She resents being dictated to by Kim and also thinks the show is so dull," the source added. For those unaware, the Lemme health brand founder aired her grievances against her younger sister during an episode of their TV program.
The California native claimed the former Mrs. West had turned her wedding to the Blink-182 drummer into a "business opportunity." In another scene, the socialite revealed her desire to stay away from Kim, stating she wanted to keep her distance.
Kourtney's disinterest in the show and her rift with the billionaire mogul were enough reasons to escape from the Hulu program—however, the 44-year-old preferred to use her unborn child as the perfect ticket to her freedom.
"She's done, and the pregnancy and soon-to-be baby is her perfect reason to bow out," the insider continued. "She wants to scale back, and she also wants to take a big break when the baby arrives, saying that family is going to be her only priority."
The 'He's All That' Actress Reportedly Wants A New Show Based On Her 'Kravis' Life
Months before Kourtney's alleged plans to exit her family's reality TV series, the 44-year-old made headlines for trying to pitch a new show without her siblings. The socialite wished to showcase her life with Barker, especially their conception struggles.
The entertainer and the Blink-182 drummer underwent a challenging journey filled with several IVF treatments and other procedures. Despite the emotional process she experienced, the TV personality wished to document it for an alleged monetary gain.
According to the source: "She's desperate to have a baby, but she's also hugely cash-hungry and willing to use it to make money." The show might become a reality as the family's matriarch, Kris Jenner, supported the idea of Kourtney's solo show.
The insider claimed the momager was "rubbing her hands together, saying it'll make great TV." Although the "Filthy Rich: Cattle Drive" alum's mother was willing to accept the 44-year-old's exit from their Hulu series, her sisters were not as welcoming.
Kim and Khloé were allegedly upset about their older sister's plans because they believed the wellness brand founder was the "laziest" person. The soon-to-be mother of four would reportedly skip filming sessions over her mental health needs and other reasons.
"They think The Kardashians should be the priority. They feel betrayed. Kourt would even consider going out alone," the informant said about the two sisters' opinions on Kourtney's new project.
