Kim and Kourtney Kardashian's relationship seems to improve after a heated argument where Kim called her big sister "a f---ing witch" whom she despised.
In a preview of tonight's upcoming episode of "The Kardashian," the Skims founder revealed that things are looking up during a trip to Milan for a Dolce & Gabbana event. While on the getaway, Kim received sweet text messages from Kourtney, despite their previous conflicts involving the same designer.
Kourtney Kardashian Credits 'Sister Dynamic' For Renewed Interest In Reconciling
The last few months have been tumultuous for the Kardashian sisters following Kourtney's expression of her belief that Kim's collaboration with Dolce & Gabbana overshadowed her 2022 wedding celebrations, where she wore specially selected outfits from the brand's collection.
The 44-year-old also felt that her 42-year-old sister's focus on business deals over family priorities was a recurring issue. While it seemed like the twosome had resolved their differences in the previous season, the premiere of their show's fourth season showcased a renewed rift between them.
This time, the tension resurfaced when they began watching the episodes from season three and heard their hurtful comments about each other behind their backs in confessionals or during discussions with other family members.
This ultimately led to an explosive phone call between Kim and Kourtney. Shortly after that, US Weekly obtained an exclusive preview of the upcoming "The Kardashians" episode set to air on Thursday, October 12.
In the clip, it's made known that Kourtney took the initial step to repair the divide between herself and Kim. Speaking to her glam squad during a Milan, Italy trip, Kim disclosed:
"Kourtney messaged me. She sent this picture of my dad in college. So Kourtney texts me and I feel like it is a step in the right direction of moving past it and moving past all of the drama. I want her here."
In a confessional, the mother of four said of the development, "I feel like it's a step in the right direction in moving past it, moving past all the drama, I want her here." Kourtney herself explained why she decided to reach out to her younger sibling in a confessional, saying:
"I think we both said things that we are not proud of. But anyone who has sisters or siblings knows the dynamic. You could get into a crazy fight and you can send a funny text and everything is all good."
Despite the intensity of the family drama, Kim didn't hesitate to publicly share a congratulatory message when Kourtney announced her pregnancy with Travis Barker. At the time, The Blast reported that Kim took to her Instagram Story to excitedly write, "Congrats!!! We're having a Kravis baby!!!"
She added these words over a clip of the oldest Kardashian daughter breaking the pregnancy news to Barker with a cardboard sign during a performance by the drummer and his Blink-182 bandmates in June.
The Kardashian Sisters Teamed Up For North West's Tenth Birthday Bash
Later in the same month, the media personalities set aside their tension and prioritized family as they attended a cozy dinner and slumber party in honor of Kim's daughter, North West's birthday. Per The Blast, the duo made a fashion statement by wearing matching pink pajama sets and socks for the tenth birthday shindig.
In photos shared on Instagram, Kourtney, along with her family and North's friends, arrived at the hotel to kick off the festivities. Another image captured the birthday girl blowing a kiss to the camera, surrounded by her loved ones.
The final slide featured a snapshot of beautifully arranged beds decorated with purple, pink, and black balloons. Among the sleeping arrangements were a Hello Kitty plush, a purple box, and a duffle bag filled with delightful goodies.
Although Kim paid tribute to the iconic film "Troop Beverly Hills" in the caption, the apparent reconciliation between her and Kourtney was the highlight of the post. In fact, the reunion sparked various reactions from fans, including joy, shock, and playful comments.
"I feel so happy seeing you both in one frame ❤️❤️❤️," one fan gushed in the comments, while another claimed, "I had to do a double take to make sure that was Kim lol."
