Kourtney Kardashian Is Taking A Step Back From ‘KUWTK’ — Here’s Why!

You’ll be seeing less of Kourtney Kardashian in episodes of Keeping Up with the Kardashians to come, and we’re not even surprised!

As we’ve previously reported (multiple times), it has been rumored by several sources the momma of three would be taking a backseat on her family’s reality show to focus on other endeavors.

On Thursday, Kourt finally confirmed he news!

While sitting down for a chat with ET alongside sisters Khloé Kardashian and Kim Kardashian West, the Poosh founder explained:

“I just decided to spend more time as a mom and put more of my energy there. But I’m not saying goodbye.”

The 40-year-old teased we’ll have to wait to see “more of it” (AKA less of her?) in the upcoming season, which is currently being filmed:

“I think you’ll have to see more of it on the new season, season 18. It isn’t airing yet, but it’s being filmed. Currently, in this room.”

True Thompson‘s momma chimed in (below) to share how she is feeling about her big sister’s departure:

“We definitely love Kourtney and we will miss Kourtney and whatever she decides to do, but people come, people go all the time in this family. We feel like it’s a revolving door, so Kourtney might leave this week, she’ll be back. They all come back.”

Kourt isn’t the first KarJenner to take a step back from the limelight, and she may not be the last! Rob Kardashian was involved with the E! reality series through season 13 before only appearing in two episodes during season 14 and none really since. Maybe he’s getting re-acclimated to the family biz with his sister’s exit and that’s why we’re beginning to see more of him on social media.

Kylie Jenner also stepped away from the show when she was pregnant with Stormi Webster for nine months. Even now, she and sis Kendall Jenner don’t find themselves on camera that much!

Still, it’s a pretty big deal for Kourtney to move on from the show, and perhaps it’s a huge reason as to why it was SO AWKWARD to watch the three K-sisters on The Real earlier this week! Honestly, this new interview with ET was just as uncomfortable. Don’t believe us? Give it a watch for yourself:

What do U make of the news, Perezcious readers? Do you think Kris Jenner will let Kendall and Ky leave now, too? Sound OFF in the comments with your take!!
