Taking to her Instagram on Thursday (June 29), the 44-year-old reality star revealed that she took her husband’s name and is now going by “Kourtney Kardashian Barker.”
“Say my name,” Kourtney wrote along with a photo of her new driver’s license.
Fans were quick to notice that Kourtney dropped her middle name “Mary” and replaced it with her maiden name of “Kardashian.”
She then took to her Instagram Story to explain her name change, sharing a line from The Knot, which reads, “It’s long been tradition for the bride to take her husband’s last name, and traditionally, she drops her middle name and keeps her last (her ‘maiden’ name) as her middle name. Her husband’s last name then becomes her new last name.”
“In case you didn’t know…” Kourtney added with the screenshot.
Kourtney and Travis, 47, legally married at a courthouse in Santa Barbara, Calif. on May 15, 2022 with just her grandmother Mary Jo “MJ” Campbell and his father Randy Barker in attendance. A week later, the couple hosted a lavish and religious ceremony in Portofino, Italy.
The couple recently announced that they are expecting their first child, a son, together and they’re teasing his name already!
