Kourtney Kardashian had fans behind her as she showed off her stunning curves in a tiny string bikini two summers ago. In May 2022, the 45-year-old sizzled aboard a $14.2 million yacht in Portofino, Italy, showing off her figure and romance with husband Travis Barker. Soaking up rays just days before she and the Blink 182 drummer walked down the aisle, Kourtney kept it skimpy in a stringy two-piece, and fans couldn't get over how "natural" she looked. While sisters Kim and Khloe Kardashian, plus Kylie Jenner, have made headlines for their weight loss, it was curve game strong for Kourtney, who received endless compliments as The Daily Mail published the photos.

Scroll for the photos. Slipping her figure into a black two-piece, Kourtney championed the micro swimwear trend adored by 43-year-old sister Kim. Topping up her tan aboard the water vessel, The Kardashians star showed off her fierce cleavage and curvy hips, highlighting her shapely legs.
While one moment got cheeky as Travis grabbed Kourtney's thong-clad rear, others were more tame as the couple was seen relaxing in the sunshine.

Things turned active in one moment as Kourtney, son Reign, and Travis all held hands while jumping into the Mediterranean Sea. Kourtney shares children Mason, Penelope, and Reign with ex-boyfriend Scott Disick. In November 2023, she and husband Travis welcomed their first son Rocky.
Replies came in fast. "She has a healthy and great figure," one fan said, gaining the approval of over 3,000 others. Shading the Poosh founder's siblings, another gained likes for saying: "I think she looks fabulous, happy and natural! Her sisters should take note. I hope it works out for her because her ex-husband didn't treat her well. Have an amazing wedding day."

At the time of the photos, Kourtney was going through IVF treatment in an attempt to have a baby. She and Travis later abandoned the treatment and conceived naturally. "She has put on a few pounds probably from IVF but how can anyone say she is fat?" one fan asked. Also noting that Kardashian was undergoing IVF was a fan replying:
"IVF and messing with her hormones to try and have a baby is putting on the weight. She looks a little self-conscious, hand near stomach, but I'm sure he doesn't care about her weight. The love is real."

It's photos like this one that brings fans to say that Kourtney seems happier than ever. She and Travis were friends long before things turned romantic, although hearts still bleed for Talentless founder Scott. Fans are convinced that he isn't over his ex.
