Kourtney Kardashian Might've Just Credited Kanye West For Helping Her Find Husband Travis Barker, And The People Who Are Shocked Shouldn't Be

Posted on Oct 22, 2026 UTC

Kanye West might be a goldmine when it comes to giving advice. On the Thursday, Oct. 22, episode of The Kardashians, Kourtney Kardashian Barker recalled some wise words that she got from Ye back in the day that helped her find her husband, Travis Barker.

The reality TV star said she wanted to share the advice with her stepson Landon Barker, 23, because he planned to throw parties at his new home. While touring the abode, she told him that it's always best to "wait for marriage" before you have sex.

Kourtney noted that Kanye gave her this advice years ago when he was still married to her sister, Kim Kardashian. (Kim and Kanye were married from 2014 to 2021.)

"I remember Kanye told me, ‘I feel like God is calling me to tell you that you should not hook up with any randoms until you are with your husband,’" Kourtney recalled.

"And I didn’t," she continued. Kourtney added that she also didn't wait until her and Travis' wedding day to have sex, but it seems safe to say that she saved herself for the right one once she knew she had found him.

Meanwhile, some fans are questioning why Kourtney would ever take Kayne's advice in the first place, given his current status and estrangement from the rest of the Kardashian clan. But they're forgetting that for more than half a decade, Kayne was Kourtney's brother-in-law.

These people are ALSO forgetting that Kourtney was there from the very start when Kanye first started crushing on Kim while filming Kim & Kourtney Take New York.

While she was married, no less! The Kimye historical timeline is fascinating.

Heck, they even dressed up in coordinated costumes for Kim's 32nd birthday party. (2012 was a weird time.)

So, of course, Kourtney would consider the advice from someone she had known for decades and had been a literal part of her family.

Plus, Kanye has been known to give some good advice from time to time.

So when it came time, Kourtney and Travis's relationship happened pretty fast. Although they were already friends for years, the couple got engaged just a few months after they officially started dating in 2021.

Then, after multiple wedding ceremonies, they welcomed their son, Rocky Thirteen, in 2023.

Kourtney is also a mom to her three older kids, Mason, 16, Penelope, 14, and Reign, 11, whom she shares with her ex-boyfriend Scott Disick, and Travis co-parents Landon and his 20-year-old daughter, Alabama, with his ex-wife Shanna Moakler.

On The Magnificent Others podcast, Travis recalled his love story with Kourtney and said their friends always encouraged them to date. “We both wanted it to happen, and we knew if it did happen, it would probably be like neither of us would have a choice — we would just be overwhelmed with whatever and fall madly in love,” he said. “And we did.”

“I already loved her as a friend. …I loved her for years. It was someone that was always a friend, that I always thought about,” he added.

"When it happened, it was like a perfect symmetry from both of our sides," he finished. Guess it sounds like Kanye's advice ended up yielding some great results!
