Kourtney Kardashian shares slideshow of her and husband Travis Barker kissing… one week after her aunt Karen Houghton died ‘unexpectedly’ at age 65
Kourtney Kardashian shared photos of herself kissing husband Travis Barker on her Instagram page on Sunday night.
The reality star, 44, simply captioned the slideshow with “prayers and kisses” — and that’s exactly what she did in the footage.
Kourtney kissed her Blink-182 drummer husband, 48, in five of the images and prayed with him in another.
The star’s loved-up snaps come just a week after her aunt, Karen Houghton, died ‘unexpectedly’ at the age of 65.
Karen was the younger sister of Kourtney’s mother, Kris Jenner.
Karen — who famously had a rollercoaster relationship with 68-year-old Jenner — was reported dead to San Diego County officials on Monday, March 18, in San Marcos, California. TMZ reports.
The exact circumstances of her death are unclear, with provincial officials tentatively attributing her death to natural causes.
Karen was Kris’s only sister, and the pair grew up together in San Diego and were primarily raised by mom MJ after her divorce from the couple’s father, Robert Houghton.
On Tuesday, Jenner shared photos with her beloved sister and wrote, “It is with the deepest heart and deepest sadness that I share that my sister Karen passed away unexpectedly yesterday.
Kris and Karen had long had a rollercoaster relationship, ranging from calling each other names in public to Kris showering her little sister with expensive gifts.

Part-time nurse Karen was known as the black sheep of the family after she opened up outside Kim Kardashian’s baby shower in 2013 and even cracked a joke to waiting reporters.
Despite signing a non-disclosure agreement for the event, Karen waxed lyrical about eating ‘marshmallow on a stick’, the rose cake at the event and the goody bag, saying Kim and Kanye West were ‘handing out Rolexes’.
Karen had often been outspoken when her sister Kris had made her angry.
In 2013, Karen claimed that Kris spent a whopping $1 million on plastic surgery because she was self-conscious about her weight from a young age.
“She was heavy as a child and started worrying about her appearance at age 15,” Karen told In Touch magazine.
She added: ‘The whole world knows – Kris is vain.’
Kourtney has not publicly acknowledged or spoken out about her aunt’s death.
Her sister Kim Kardashian spoke out and broke her silence on Thursday, March 21.
