Opening up to the world…

Speaking to Vogue Arabia, U.S. personality Kourtney Kardashian has explained her decision to take a step back from Keeping Up With The Kardashians, stating that “I have been filming the show non-stop for 14 years. I was feeling unfulfilled and it became a toxic environment for me to continue to have it occupy as much of my life as it was.”

The show first premiered way back in 2007, and has since followed the Kardashian/ Jenner family through all facets of their lives. In March of this year however, Kourtney announced that she would no longer be a regular on the gigantic series.

“Privacy is something I have come to value and finding that balance of private moments with being on a reality show is hard,” she continued. “People have this misconception that I don’t want to work, which isn’t true… I am following my happiness and putting my energy into that which makes me happy.”

“I always try my absolute best when I’m with my kids not to be on my phone, to be present in what we’re doing, and have those moments where you’re looking in each other’s eyes and connecting,” she tells the magazine. “It’s so important. I usually take one day on the weekend when we have no plans, we hang out at the house in pajamas or sweats. We sleep in. I like to not be on a schedule on that day.”
