Kourtney Kardashian says she loves her ‘thicker body’ post-IVF

We love to see a woman who loves herself, don’t we folks? We LOVE to see it. And in the latest episode of “The Kardashians” on Hulu, Kourtney Kardashian is doing just that.

Kourtney’s endured over a year of public commentary on her changing body, which she attributes to the in-vitro fertilization (IVF) process. People have openly asked her if she’s pregnant and questioned her weight gain in not-so-nice ways. Earlier this year, she confirmed she’s been undergoing IVF treatments in the hope of conceiving a child with her new husband, Travis Barker.

On this week’s episode of “The Kardashians,” Kourtney opens up about the public scrutiny and shares what she personally thinks about her body after enduring eight months of IVF treatments during a confessional scene.

“So, obviously my body has changed, but it was like all of the hormones that the doctors put me on. [It’s] definitely taken a toll on my body, mentally and physically,” she said. “It’s taken me a lot to get me to the place of feeling really comfortable and happy with the changes.” 

But she’s there, alright. She even openly complimented herself—as all women should:

“My ass is amazing,” she said while preparing for a photo shoot. “I’m so into my thicker body. I looked at photos of my body when I was so skinny. It is cringey.”

She also got candid about the times she’d be “super skinny,” noting that her smaller body was an indication that something was very wrong with her past environment and mental health—she said she’d “super anxious,” but it actually had nothing to do with her body.

“Not about eating. Not about staying at a certain weight. But like just in toxic relationships,” Kourtney admitted. “I used to always say this: When I’m super skinny, just know I’m not happy.” 

Having a romantic partner who gasses her up definitely helps, she says. And, as anyone with eyeballs can see, Travis can’t keep his hands off his wife!

“I mean every day, Travis is like, ‘You’re perfect.’ If I make one complaint, he’s like, ‘You’re perfect. You’re so fine…You’ve never been better,'” she tells viewers. “Now I’m so into it. Having a partner who is so supportive of me and always complimenting me, no matter what, it’s just helped me to really embrace the changes and actually to the point where I love the changes now.”
