Kourtney Kardashian is an American socialite, television personality, model, retail and fashion industry partaker, and product endorser. She has appeared on the reality shows Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami, Kourtney and Kim Take New York, and The Kardashians. She has launched clothing collections and fragrances, and the website Poosh. She is also known as Kourtney Kardashian Barker.
Kourtney is the daughter of Robert Kardashian, an attorney who was one of O.J. Simpson’s lawyers at his murder trial, and Kris Jenner (born Kristen Mary Houghton), a socialite. Her siblings are Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, and Rob Kardashian, and her half-siblings are Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner. Through her ex-stepparent, Caitlyn Jenner, she was a stepsister of musician Brandon Jenner and socialite Brody Jenner.
Kourtney is married to musician Travis Barker. She has three children with her former partner, businessperson Scott Disick, including Penelope Disick; and a son with Travis. Kourtney’s niece is singer and actress North West. Her step-daughter is singer and social media personality Alabama Barker.
Her Armenian Orthodox baptismal name is Gayane.
Kourtney’s father was of Armenian descent. Kourtney’s mother is from a family that has lived in the United States for many generations, and has English, as well as Scottish, Irish, German, Dutch, Scots-Irish/Northern Irish, Welsh, and remote Jersey Channel Islander and Cornish, ancestry.
A 23andMe DNA test whose results were displayed on the show Keeping Up with the Kardashians (2018) stated that Kourtney’s and her sister Khloé’s genetic ancestry is:
*53%-58% European
——–*4.5% French
*41.6% Middle Eastern & North African
The test also evidently stated that the Kardashians have a fraction of Native American DNA, presumably under .4% in Khloé’s case, given her 58% European and 41.6% Middle Eastern results.

Helen was born in Los Angeles, Los Angeles Co., California. John was born in Getap, Vayots Dzor, Armenia. Vartanoosh was born in Erzurum, Erzurum, Turkey, of Armenian descent, the daughter of Hovhannes Miroyan and Luciag Chorbajian.
Kourtney’s maternal grandfather was Robert True Houghton (the son of True Otis Houghton and Mary Lee Pickens). Robert was born in San Diego County, California.

She european, end of people!
omg, read the comment ive posted below and go to the link!
and actually you just have to look at her to see that she isn’t full european!
Yes she isn’t cause through Kris she got some native american blood.. like 7% and the rest is just European.
IF THIS IS A WHITE GIRL
–
THEN THE WORLD SHOULD END TODAY
PEOPLE ARE FUCKING STUPID
SHE IS NOT EUROPEAN
Yeah.
There are millions portugese, italian, greek, romanian, bulgarian and especially Spanish people who look exactly like her or Kim.. so do you claim that those aren’t European?
80% of spanish people have tanned skin and dark hair like kourtney but there still white
@nina
80% ?
whee are you getting your numbers from?
there are more fair skinned spanish ppl than tan
i know someone from spain and he is pale like a ghost
and yes kourtney is white she can easily pass for european
she cannot pass as european at all
Nope stfu
NO SHE IS NOT
I am of German, Hungarian and Native American decent (Kiowa and Comanche). Apparently I look like Kourtney K’s twin (or real life disney’s Pocahontas).
Pretty sure Pocahontas wasn’t mixed… just saying…pretty sure her offspring were…And Disney and the media do their best to Caucasianize ethnic people on TV, so you beign half white, they would cast you to appease the ignoramus out in the sticks, but real beauty is the ethnic peoples not trying to make them whiter to appeal to Whitey..travel to Europe…they love my latina/Asian Indianess :) They’re not so stupid like the Americans are…they’re educated, appreciate diversity, and acknowledge history instead of mask it
Yeah. Sure.
I’m German, Hungarian, and Native American (Kiowa and Comanche), and apparently I look like her twin. Explains it because our ancestry is fairly similar.
for all armenian, georgian and azerbaijani idiots who think you’re european: here is that proof that you ARE NOT, HAVE NEVER BEEN and NEVER WILL BE european!!!!!!

thank you nora,thats what i say,but ignorant fools here argue against fact
They’re not full in Europe but are transcontinental countries as they border Russia to the north which is in Europe, and Iran to the south which is in Asia ! go to wiki and check it out for yourself ! And who cares about being European it is no big deal! Though Armenians/Georgians are white people and are similar to southwestern Russians, Northwestern Iranians/Light Skinned Arabs such as Lebanese, Turks, who I would say are all white if u consider Italians, Greeks and stuff white ! And if u wanna look so much in geography, than Sicily is not Europe either since it is an island nation and is not connected to Italy, yeah man kourtney is of olive skin complexion what else would she be ??? Many Armenians are typically lighter than Italians/Spaniards, Though they all are white, unless ur a nordicist, who only believes Germanic/Celtic people are white !
@Mac,
Georgians are Caucasian not white you idiot. Second, STOP SAYING IRANIANS ARE ARABS OMFG. THEY’RE INDO-EUROPEAN ARYANS WHILE ARABS ARE AFRICAN SEMITICS.
Nora, the only idiot by calling us idiots are you :)))
I don’t care where we belong. There are many maps showing that we are Asians and also there are many of them which count is in Europe. But the thing is, it’s so ridiculous! :)))
I am from Georgia and I am too proud of it.
Our culture (with other Caucasians) is much more ancient than the European (except Greece) and that’s the most important. The first Georgian kingdom was founded in 13th century before Christ while most of the modern European nations were not even formed until medieval era.
Asia is much more interesting, ancient and mysterious than Europe and don’t think that you humiliate us when you call us Asians :))))
Plus, Georgians are Christians which separates it from Asia. And thank us that you, Europeans, were not attacked by the Seljuk Turks or Timur or any other conquerors because we were the ones who fought against them, defeated them and didn’t let them in Europe :)))
Sincerely, a Georgian.
@Marika,
Lmao Georgians are seriously ridiculous. They would kill themselves to be called European. Too bad they kiss European ass and would faint once they see a European person. Also, being Christian doesn’t make you white sweetie. There are Asians and Africans who are Christian but does that make them white? No. Btw Georgia is in Eurasia.
See that? In this map north Georgia is considered to be Europe and south to be Asia.

That border goes alond rivers Kura and Kvirila and so northern Azerbaijan should be placed in Europe too as Kura splits its territory into two.
By the way, Turkey is also Asia. Culturally and geographically.
Oh I found even Azerbaijani territory considered in Europe.
Look at the official boundaries of the continents carefully please :D

Azeribaijanis maybe not cause they are muslim and so kinda culturally alienated- although they are too (in majority) racially Caucasoid aka Europid – that’s wh0t people trying to explain to a brainless mad hater like you… Armenians and Georgians just like Italians, Spaniards, Russians, Germans etc are too belong to Caucasian race. Geographical location of these countries doesn’t really matter.. we are speaking about BLOOD here.
stfu
she’s so dark becoz shes armenian! armenians aren’t european and even south europeans have at least olive skin
She isn’t dark but is like a typical southern european spanish !
Yes, then the Portuguese ppl., Italians, Spaniards, Greeks, Bulgarians are too not Europeans, cause there are millions of Kourtney look a like in Europe… Even though, we know that Kourtney some of native American blood, she still looks totally Caucasoid (Europid). It seems like you have some major issues.. we are speaking about the Race not the Geography lol!
no she doesn’t lol.
Jesus, you need to come to Europe because Southern Europeans do not look like her. She looks like mixed Mexican.Regardless of were they came from they are mixed. Clearly not white.
