Kourtney Kardashian Reveals Kanye West’s Shocking Dating Advice Before Travis Barker Romance

Kourtney Kardashian revealed that Kanye West once told her not to sleep with anyone before marriage.

Kourtney, 47, shared the memory during Thursday’s episode of “The Kardashians” while giving dating advice to her stepson, Landon Barker, 23. The exchange unfolded in front of her husband, Travis Barker, 50, who married the Poosh founder in 2022.

The moment came as Kourtney counseled Landon to “wait until you get married” to have sex. “That’s my advice,” she told him. “Don’t waste your energy.”

A producer then pressed Kourtney on whether she and Barker had followed that rule themselves. “No, but 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,'” she recalled on the Hulu series.

Kim, 46, later addressed the breakdown of that marriage on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast in October 2025. “There was just a lot of things that I wouldn’t deal with,” she said. “I didn’t like the feeling of someone talking bad about my kids, grandmother, aunts — all of those feelings,” Kim continued. “If someone feels that way, then we shouldn’t be together.”

“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,” Barker explained. “We would just be overwhelmed with whatever and fall madly in love. And we did,” He added that he “already loved [Kourtney] as a friend,” which eased the shift from friendship to relationship.
