Kourtney Kardashian and her husband have been getting backlash about the extreme PDA they've been showing on the red carpet. The 43-year-old reality star finally explained why the amorous lovebirds always lock tongues on the red carpet.
She said during a confessional on 'The Kardashians', "I don't want to get lipstick all over him, and I don't want to ruin my lipstick, but we also don't want to not kiss, so we'll kiss with our tongues. That's why we kiss that way."

Reflecting on the evolution of their relationship, Kourtney shared, "He would ask me to go for sushi or vegan sushi, of course. But he would ask me to go to the movies."
Kourtney was eventually convinced to pursue a romance by her therapist.
The TV star - who has Mason, 12, Penelope, 10, and Reign, seven, with her ex-boyfriend Scott Disick - said, "I could never go. I could never. And the therapist was like, 'Why? You know, he sounds like a good dad'. And I just was like, ‘But what if he tried to kiss me or what if he held my hand or what if?'"
