Kourtney Kardashian, who welcomed her first child with husband Travis Barker on November 1st, has been notably private about her new baby, choosing not to share any photos on social media. This approach marks a departure from the usual public visibility of her family, including her three children with ex-partner Scott Disick.
Experts and fans have noted Kourtney’s longstanding preference for privacy, which has been a recurring theme in her life, especially highlighted in her past disagreements with her sister Kim Kardashian. PR Strategist Laura Perkes commented on this, saying, “Kourtney has consistently expressed a desire to live away from the spotlight, a stance that has often led to conflicts with her sisters on ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians.’ Her reluctance to share her life with the public, particularly given her past experiences with Scott Disick, suggests she’s enjoying her new baby’s early days privately with Travis” an insider told Entertainment Tonight.
Perkes speculates that Kourtney will eventually release images of her child when she feels ready, maintaining control over the situation. This strategy differs from her sisters’ more public approach, allowing her to manage media and public interest on her terms. Perkes explains, “Once Kourtney shares the baby’s photos, it could lead to overwhelming public and media demand, which she likely wants to avoid. Additionally, the focus would shift to her post-pregnancy journey, adding more pressure.”
From a PR standpoint, Perkes suggests that Kourtney might be waiting for the right financial opportunity to share the first pictures of her baby. This tactic could generate significant public interest and offer Kourtney valuable family privacy in the interim.
“It’s a smart strategy,” Perkes adds, “Kourtney understands the need to eventually share photos to satisfy her fans, but she’s also aware that she can negotiate an exclusive deal, balancing her privacy needs with a lucrative opportunity.” Kourtney is managing her return to the public eye post-pregnancy in a way that respects her privacy while acknowledging her role as a public figure, demonstrating her savvy understanding of media dynamics.
