Hi Court. Good morning. Good to see you. Good morning, Courtney Kardashian Barker
So was taking his last name a given were you positive that was going to happen or do you think about that for a while?
It was a given. Yeah, it was just a given
You just knew and I didn't I
The middle so now my middle name is Kardashian. Yeah, it's not how how is
Married life. I mean you guys are clearly in love. I mean, is it when you know, you know
I think when it's kind of easy and like it just everything almost
Yeah, like it's like it's so weird. I think of like
Times when it things weren't so easy and it's just like when it's right
It's right and you know, a lot of people have blended families. So they have you know children. He has children you have children
How has that been navigating that space? I think it's you know, there's like I think it's like figuring it all out
but I think working together and like keeping the communication open and because
You know, I came from a blended family I feel like I don't know we have experience and you've been down
yeah, and I think also we've known each other and
like I've had my own relationship with his kids for like
10 years
so it's like
It does make it really easy
Like we just all know each other and each other's intentions and I think it makes it easy
Do you have a favorite tattoo of his
Courtney of course
He also has has my lips
What and he has I did my own touch. I tattooed him
I wrote I love you in first like in your writing and they and then no I did it, right?
I put it on like I did the gun and did it
He must really trust and then I practiced and did like a K with a heart
How sweet is that, you know, um, I've known you for a long time
Yeah, in fact, we co-hosted together many years ago when we had you and your sisters each had a different day
Yeah, but to all the time. Oh my god. Wait, that is then that was
2011 wait, what are we in? Wow a lot has changed since those days
Your sisters have had product lines and businesses, but I feel like that wasn't your thing
until now
When I look at old episodes or anything how they would like try to push me and be like, what's your thing?
What's your thing? What's your thing? And I was like, why do I have to have a thing?
Can't I be a mom and I'm filming the show and it's like a that's a full-time job
So I felt like
Until something just like how I said timing is everything. It's like with my husband
It's like this just also to me timing was everything and it just was like when it feels easy and it felt right
I've been going through this rollercoaster for like five years and knowing what it always was
I knew it was vitamins and supplements
Yes, it just was finding the right partners that had the same beliefs as me as far as
sustainability as far as ingredients
Mm-hmm, and once it happened, it's like it's been like fun. I've been super decisive
I think when I I'm also in like a place where I feel really confident
So I think that helps with all the decision-making
Yeah, I like that you're in that time that moment in your life, so you just feel comfortable in your own skin
Do you feel like it's kind of finally I'm here. Yeah, I do
I do feel that way and I feel like it all
It's all like working together and just with ease. I think you're in a great moment your life
