Kourtney Kardashian's recent decisions regarding her relationships with sisters and longtime friends have sparked curiosity, with many attributing these changes to her marriage with Travis Barker.
The eldest Kardashian sister is said to have a strained relationship with Kim and Khloe Kardashian, who are 40 years old. It is claimed that she views them more as colleagues rather than siblings.
A source told the Daily Mail, "Kourtney started discarding everyone in her life when Travis came into the picture and, since then, it has got progressively worse to the point where she doesn't seem to care about associating with anyone from her old life."
Communication between Kourtney, Khloe and Kim has significantly dwindled, with interactions mainly limited to the duration of filming for the show.
"She has pushed them away and deals with them as if they are her coworkers. Things are very fake and forced when filming the show."
Reportedly, the Poosh founder has distanced herself from her longtime companions, such as Melissa Kolker, Allie Rizzo, Stephanie Shepherd, Brittny Gastineau, Courtenay Semel, and Poosh team member Sarah Howard.
Another source otld the outlet, "Kourtney and those girls were like sisters their whole life. Now she barely even responds to texts or calls."
"She would post photos with them all the time on her social media. She was also seen with them partying at bars and clubs in LA and Las Vegas."
They added, "The girls are all still close with various members of the Kardashian family including Malika Haaq, who is Khloe's best friend."
"Many of them are still close with Scott [Disick], too, who they all care deeply for. Scott has always been great to her friends."
"But none of Kourtney's old friends are really friends with Travis and have had hardly any contact with Kourtney since she got together with him."

Concerns have also emerged regarding the dynamic between Kourtney, Travis, and her former partner, Scott. Questions have been raised about how Scott, who is the father of Kourtney's three older children, integrates into their current family dynamic.
An insider revealed to the outlet, "When Travis got together with Kourtney on the heels of her and Scott's long romance, he felt threatened by Scott."
"Travis made it awkward for Scott to be around the family when he was there. His constant kissing and groping of Kourtney were his weapon and he knew he could keep Scott out of the picture."
According to the insider, the Talentless mogul's behavior creates some distance between them. However, Kim and Khloe reportedly hold a special place in their hearts for Scott, who has been a part of the reality TV show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, since its inception.
In 2022, following a rebrand to The Kardashians and a move to Hulu, significant changes occurred within the show's dynamics.
Kourtney's romance with Travis flourished, while Scott expressed a sense of distance from his ex-partner, acknowledging the challenge as "a huge adjustment losing her as a best friend."
Scott opted for a more reserved approach as the second season of The Kardashians unfolded, appearing briefly in a single cameo. His decision stemmed from not wanting to be seen as the antagonist in Kourtney's love story to Travis at the time, a move that stirred discontent among viewers who clamored for his comeback.
According to a source close to the situation, Travis's attempt to remove Scott from the equation had the opposite effect. Recognizing that the Kardashian clan stands firmly behind Scott, the musician reportedly finds himself in a difficult position.
