What was The Kardashians star Kourtney advised on?

In Episode 8 of The Kardashians, the Goop founder Gwyneth Paltrow spoke to Kourtney Kardashian about how the former's marriage to Brad Falchuk changed her view of established relationships. Speaking about her experience, she said:

“My husband and I did not live together until we had been married for a year. It was mostly for our kids because it is hard in a way with the stepparenting thing and the blending families.”

Paltrow, who shares daughter Apple, 18, and son Moses, 16, with ex-husband Chris Martin, discussed with the celebrity the pros of starting over with someone new, stating that it can be a “great opportunity,” adding that a second marriage is so beautiful.

The Goop founder was married to Martin from 2003 to 2014. After finalizing the divorce, she moved on with Falchuk, and the duo got married in September 2018. Meanwhile, the Coldplay band member started dating actress Dakota Johnson in 2017.

However, The Kardashians star Kourtney revealed that she wasn't married to Scott Disick even though it "basically" felt the same. The Poosh founder also spoke to Paltrow about her plans with her current husband, Travis Barker, and said:

“I am on a journey. I want to have a baby so I have done all the fertility stuff and it makes me mentally not well. And when I did [a cleanse] to clean this out of my body, it felt like this is what I am supposed to be doing.”

Check out what the show's fans had to say about the interaction.

Kourtney and Scott shared kids Mason, 12, Penelope, 9, and Reign, 6, together and were in a highly complex relationship, dating on and off from 2006-to 2015. Following their split, she moved on to date the drummer after several years of close friendship.

In an incident documented on The Kardashians, Travis Barker popped the question to his longtime best friend and girlfriend Kourtney on the beach in Southern California. The couple made their relationship even stronger with three wedding ceremonies - a "practice wedding" in Las Vegas in April, then a legal marriage at the Santa Barbara courthouse, and a lavish wedding in Italy in May 2022.
