Kourtney Kardashian has publicly marked a significant personal milestone, revealing she is now three years sober. The reality star and businesswoman shared the news in a celebratory video posted to her Instagram Stories on Friday, 16th January.
A Fancy Friday Celebration
The 46-year-old mother-of-four made the announcement while attending the launch event for her sister Khloe Kardashian's latest Khloud popcorn flavour. In the clip, she highlighted her achievement with the caption: "@Khloudfoods @KhloeKardashian def told them I haven’t drank alcohol in 3 years. Fancy Friday."
The video showed Kourtney receiving VIP treatment, including a serving of the new truffle white cheddar popcorn presented in a large martini glass by a white-gloved server. The snack was promoted as being made with all-natural ingredients, containing no seed oils, being gluten-free, and offering seven grams of protein.
After sampling the popcorn and exclaiming "Love it!", Kardashian was then handed a specially prepared mocktail. The alcohol-free drink was mixed with non-alcoholic gin and garnished with two pieces of the Khloud popcorn, to which she cheerfully said "Cheers!"
A Family Focus on Health and Sobriety
Kardashian's decision to abstain from alcohol aligns with her increased focus on health, her recent pregnancy, and a desire to be fully present for her children. She shares son Rocky, two, with her husband, Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, and has three older children—Mason, 16, Penelope, 13, and Reign, 11—with her ex-fiancé, Scott Disick, who has also made significant progress in his own sobriety journey.
Notably, her husband Travis Barker has been sober for more than 17 years. His commitment to sobriety began after a near-fatal plane crash in 2008, which left him with severe third-degree burns over 55% of his body and necessitated 27 surgeries. Following the crash, he stopped drinking, using marijuana, and other drugs.
Beyond Booze: Botox and a "Third Eye"
Kourtney Kardashian's sobriety is not the only lifestyle change she has embraced. In a recent episode of The Kardashians that aired on 18th December, she declared she has not had Botox injections in four years and intends to "never" use the wrinkle-smoothing treatment again.
Her reason for abandoning Botox is unconventional, citing a wish to keep her "third eye open" and to aid her intuition, rather than a simple desire to age naturally. This statement prompted a questioning look from her sister Kim during the show, to which Kourtney firmly reiterated her stance.
The star's sober milestone follows a notably makeup-free public appearance earlier in the week, on Monday, 12th January, where she was seen collecting takeaway—a contrast to the typically glamorous image associated with her famous sisters.
