Fans were in shock, but Kourtney reassured them by saying, “But I’m not saying goodbye… I think you’ll have to see more if it on the new season, season 18. It isn’t airing yet, but it’s being filmed.”. Both her sisters Khloe and Kim expressed their sadness of her taking a break from KUWTK, saying that they’d miss their older sister, but also added that she will most likely be back as they feel there is a “revolving door” of people leaving and coming back.
