Even though it"s not the most public or most dramatic relationship in the Kardashian clan, Kourtney and Younes Bendjima are an intriguing couple.
For a celebrity couple of a reality star MILF and a model, they have an astonishingly chill relationship.
But what"s most interesting of all is how they met, as Kourtney Kardashian reveals in the video below. This is kind of bonkers, and it involves Kim Kardashian getting robbed.
Scott Disick has spent a considerable portion of this year making decisions that are … questionable at best.
If you"re a millionaire and you want to drink and have sex with models, that would normally be fine.
It"s less fine when you"re a public personality and also a father.
And, quite frankly, it"s totally not cool that Scott"s various exploits were embarrassing to Kourtney.
Furthermore, even if Scott"s three children were successfully sheltered from their dad"s summer of bad behavior, Scott Disick ended up in the hospital and, quite frankly, things could have been a lot worse.
What if he"d died? As a father, he has to care about that.
Now, Scott complains that banging teens wasn"t fulfilling, and says that he had way more reason to be jealous or whatever of Kourtney, who developed a meaningful relationship with Younes Bendjima.
But how, exactly, did things begin for Kourtney and Younes?
It all stars with Khloe, who asks the (probably planned) question of Kourtney:
"You met him in Paris when you were with Kim for fashion week?"
It"s a leading question and it"s a prompt, as a lot of Kardashian conversations begin on Keeping Up With The Kardashians. it makes their discussions sound more natural and it"s part of their recipe for success.
Kourtney replies:
"Yeah, we like walked into a bar and Stephanie [Sheppard] was across from me and she kept going, "This guy"s cute over here."
Steph Sheppard, of course, is Kourtney"s super good friend and also Kim Kardashian"s assistant who maybe hates her job.
Younes is a model, so Steph"s assessment of his cuteness was correct.
"He was friends with our friends. He would walk in, say hi, shake hands with like our security or whatever, but like not say hi to us."
Lots of beautiful women feel relieved when a guy is ignoring them, but clearly Younes not noticing them got under Kourtney"s skin.
Kourtney continues: "And then I was like, "Why do you hate us?" I was just drunk."
Yeah, alcohol and the accompanying lowered inhibitions can really help people speak their minds. For better or for worse.
"Once I said that he literally like grabbed my hand and was like, "It"s five in the morning. We"re leaving.""
Is Kourtney saying that they hooked up right then? it"s not entirely clear. (A lot of great relationships start with a hookup, folks)
And clearly, it turned into something really quickly.
"And the next night Younes was like, "Bring your ass here.""
It sounds like Kourtney likes to be bossed around a little, right? Are we the only ones getting that vibe?
But there was a huge family crisis — when Kim was robbed in her hotel at gunpoint while millions of dollars of her jewelry were stolen, causing her to fear for her life.
"And then when we walked into that club was when we went to the bathroom and got the phone call about Kim. So then the party was over."
We would imagine so, yeah.
The only thing worse than getting a call like that from your sister would be actually experiencing the living nightmare that Kim endured.
A crisis so early into a relationship that it can barely be called that can be a huge test for a blossoming couple.
A test that Younes Bendjima passed with flying colors.
"And then he was like, "I"m not leaving you guys," and he like had to translate everything."
Wow.
It"s easy for us to think of Younes as Kourtney"s boy toy. He"s much younger and much less famous.
But having a younger model who"s there to look pretty and make him feel good is Scott"s thing. Kourtney clearly likes a little depth to her relationships.
(And, again, it sounds like she doesn"t mind a little assertiveness at all)
Kourtney and Younes bonded in a crisis, it sounds like. That"s always going to be with them.
"You met him in Paris when you were with Kim for fashion week?"
"Yeah, we like walked into a bar and Stephanie [Sheppard] was across from me and she kept going, "This guy"s cute over here."
"He was friends with our friends. He would walk in, say hi, shake hands with like our security or whatever, but like not say hi to us. And then I was like, "Why do you hate us?" I was just drunk."
"Once I said that he literally like grabbed my hand and was like, "It"s five in the morning. We"re leaving." And the next night Younes was like, "Bring your ass here.""
"And then when we walked into that club was when we went to the bathroom and got the phone call about Kim. So then the party was over. And then he was like, "I"m not leaving you guys," and he like had to translate everything."
