Kim Kardashian Acknowledges Kourtney’s Absence From Her 43rd Birthday Celebration With a Special Message

Despite their intense rivalry on The Kardashians, Kourtney and Kim Kardashian still have a lot of love for one another. The SKIMS founder recently threw a magnificent party with an opulent guest list to honor her 43rd birthday. The glam evening was attended by the Kardashian-Jenner clan and celebrities including Hailey Bieber, Ivanka Trump, Sara Foster, Olivia Pierson, Steph Shepherd and Tracy Romulus. However, Kourtney chose to skip the special event, and Kim posted a heartfelt statement on Instagram to acknowledge her pregnant sister's absence. The Hulu star shared a carousel of pictures from the elegant celebration along with a statement of thanks."So blessed to have hit the jackpot of friends! I couldn’t have ever dreamed I would be so lucky to call these girls my friends thank you for all the birthday love and Kourt I’m jumping in bed with you next week for our bed rest picnic," Kim captioned the images. 

As per People, in honor of her sister's birthday, the Poosh founder shared a collection of adorable throwback photos with a cheerful note. “Happy happy birthday to my first sister,” Kourtney wrote as she posted a vintage photo of herself and Kim on her Instagram Story. “Thank you for all those years of bossing you around and listening to all of my crazy ideas. People think the fights they’ve seen on TV are bad if only they got to witness the hair-pulling, nail-digging ones from early high school," she continued. “The joys of sisterhood," The reality star added in jest. "I love you deeply forever and always. May God bless this year with love and happiness and abundant joy.”  The precise due date of Kourtney's first child with husband Travis Barker, the drummer for 'Blink-182', is yet unknown even though the timing of her announcement implies that she could give birth at any point between now and December.

As per The Daily Mail, Kim's post seems to suggest that the drama between the two feuding sisters has subsided significantly, as evidenced by The Kardashians' current season on Hulu. The majority of the third season focused on Kim, 42, who offended Kourtney by accepting a job offer to be the creative director of a Dolce & Gabbana show in Milan. Kourtney was furious because D&G was the designer of her wedding. Old wounds reopened as the sisters watched the edits and got a privy about what the other was saying. This led to a heated phone call in which Kim pulled her best friends—including her kids—into the altercation with Kourtney, calling her a "witch."

The new season of the popular reality show, which premieres on Hulu on Thursdays at midnight ET/9 PM PT on Wednesdays, has shown a gradual healing of the divide between the sisters.
