Kourtney Kardashian was noticeably absent from Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s extravagant Venice wedding, and fans are praising her for skipping what many are calling a spectacle of excess. While Kim, Khloé, Kendall, and Kylie flew to Europe to be part of the three-day event, Kourtney chose a quiet escape with her children instead. She shared serene glimpses of her beachside weekend with Penelope, Reign, and baby Rocky, posting soothing wave videos and peaceful family moments, far removed from the chaos of the Venetian affair.
The Bezos-Sanchez wedding itself was a high-profile celebration that turned Venice into a celebrity magnet. Guests like Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Brady, and Ivanka Trump mingled at a welcome party, an elaborate ceremony, and a quirky pajama-themed afterparty. The Kardashian-Jenner presence didn’t go unnoticed, with Kim and Khloé arriving early and even spotted chatting with Orlando Bloom. Kris Jenner and Corey Gamble were also seen enjoying a luxury water taxi ride through the canals, while Kendall and Kylie turned heads at the main event.
But Kourtney’s decision to stay home stands out in sharp contrast. She’s been deliberately stepping back from public events and the family’s reality show, choosing instead to focus on raising her children, especially newborn Rocky, whom she shares with husband Travis Barker. Her quiet weekend away from the spectacle seems to reflect a different kind of luxury—one grounded in intention, family, and presence.
Behind the scenes, reports suggest the guest list drama ran deep. According to insiders, Kris Jenner had to personally ask Lauren Sanchez to allow Khloé, Kendall, and Kylie to attend, since only Kim and Kris were initially invited. While the others may have made an entrance, Kourtney’s absence and her unapologetic focus on her kids resonated more deeply with fans. Many have taken to social media to call her the “realest” of the family, applauding her for choosing peace over PR.
