Her mother, Kristen "Kris" Mary Jenner (born 1955; formerly Kardashian, née Houghton) is of Scottish and Dutch[2] descent and was a homemaker before managing her children's careers. She is the oldest of four children: she has two younger sisters Kimberly Noel "Kim" (born 1980) and Khloé Alexandria (born 1984), and one younger brother Robert Arthur "Rob" Kardashian (born 1987). Kourtney also has two half-sisters from her mother's remarriage, Kendall Nicole (born 1995) and Kylie Kristen Jenner (born 1997).[3] In 1991, when Kourtney was 11 years old, her parents divorced and her mother Kris married former Olympian Bruce Jenner.[4] Bruce has four children from a previous marriage: sons Burton "Burt", Brandon, Brody and daughter Cassandra Lyn "Casey" Jenner. Kourtney attended the Roman Catholic all-girls school, Marymount High School in Los Angeles. Following graduation, she moved to Dallas, Texas to attend Southern Methodist University for two years. Kourtney then lived in Tucson, Arizona where she graduated from the University of Arizona with a bachelor's degree, Kourtney majored in Theatre Arts and minored in Spanish. Some of her classmates at university included Nicole Richie and Luke Walton.[5] Career Television career Kourtney first became known to reality television audiences on the 2004 series, Filthy Rich: Cattle Drive, on which she earned money for charity. She then became a cast member on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, which depicts the lives of her extended family. She and her sister Khloé starred in their own spinoff reality show, Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami, the first season of which documented their opening of the Miami D-A-S-H location in 2009. In January 2011, Kourtney and Kim Take New York premiered, which documents hers and sister Kim's opening their third D-A-S-H store, in New York. Kourtney made her acting debut with a guest appearance on the ABC soap One Life to Live on March 28, 2011, appearing as attorney Kassandra Kavanaugh.[6] Kourtney, who had grown up watching the soap opera and credited her appearance as a "lifelong dream", had reservations about her acting debut, stating: "I'd thought I'd have two lines. But my script is so long ... I'm not an actress."[7][8] Her performance, however, was not met with positive reviews from critics.[9] In September 2012, she and younger sister Kim created another spinoff reality television series, Kourtney and Kim Take Miami which will air beginning January 2013. It will also feature their mother Kris Jenner and sister Khloé Kardashian.[10] Business ventures Kourtney and her mother opened children's clothing boutiques called Smooch in the Los Angeles area and New York City; the boutiques carry the brand Crib Rock Couture. With sisters Kim and Khloe, Kardashian co-owns and operates D-A-S-H, a clothing boutique in Los Angeles, Miami, and New York City.[5] Kardashian has a number of endorsement contracts with her sisters Khloe and Kim. They are spokeswomen for the diet supplement Quick Trim.[11][12] In March 2012, Kardashian and her sisters Kim and Khloe were named in a $5 million class action lawsuit against QuickTrim, the weight loss supplement they endorse.[13] The complaint, filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, accuses the Kardashians (along with QuickTrim’s manufacturer, Windmill Health Products; the retailer GNC; and others in the sales and marketing chain) of false and deceptive marketing of the diet aid. The plaintiffs, hailing from several states, brought claims under their respective states’ consumer protection laws.[14] Kardashian also represents the skincare line "PerfectSkin" with her sisters, which was developed by Dr. Ron DiSalvo for Perfect Science Labs.[15] The three sisters also released a jewelry line for Virgins, Saints, and Angels. The 20 piece collection debuted in March 2010. The jewelry is reflective of the Kardashians' Armenian heritage.[16] In the spring of 2010, she and her sisters released a clothing line for Bebe.[17][18][19] In August 2010, Kardashian announced that she and her sisters were working on another clothing line called K-Dash, sold on QVC.[20] Kardashian and her sisters created a sunless tanner called Kardashian Glamour Tan in 2010.[21][22] Kardashian wrote the book "Kardashian Konfidential" with her sisters Khloe and Kim; it was released in November 2010.[23] Personal life Kardashian began dating Scott Disick in 2006.[24][25] The couple have two children: son Mason Dash Disick (born 14 December 2009)[26][27] and daughter Penelope Scotland Disick (born 8 July 2012).[28] Filmography Year Title Role Notes 2005 Filthy Rich: Cattle Drive Herself 2007–present Keeping Up with the Kardashians Herself Reality TV series 2009–10 Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami Herself Reality TV series 2011–12 Kourtney and Kim Take New York Herself Reality TV series 2011–12 Khloé & Lamar Herself Guest star, 4 episodes 2011 One Life to Live Kassandra Kavanaugh Debut acting role 2013–present Kourtney and Kim Take Miami Herself Reality TV series References ^ a b "Celebrity Central: Top 25 Celebs: Kourtney Kardashian".
