Kourtney Kardashian’s secret family heartbreak revealed as son Mason, 14, refuses to join her for two-week stay in Australia with her new husband Travis Barker

Kourtney Kardashian arrived in Sydney, Australia with her kids Penelope and Reign on this week’s penultimate Season 5 episode of The Kardashians, but the mother of four has revealed the trip was tinged with sadness over her teenage son Mason.

She also brought her newborn child Rocky with on the two-week trip, as she followed husband Travis Barker through part of his band Blink-182’s tour.

However, her oldest child, 14-year-old son Mason, didn’t come, as she said in confession he, ‘is home with his dad, which makes me really sad, but I’m making the most of every second,’ with the episode coming after Kourtney celebrated Penelope’s 12th birthday.

Last week’s episode featured a brief part where Kim said she would try to convince Mason to go on the trip by telling him all the cool things Australia has to offer, though that didn’t seem to work.

Reign is seen feeding a horse a carrot, as Kourtney asks Reign and Penelope their ‘peak and pit of Australia so far.’

Reign says, ‘My favorite part is the ice cream,’ as Kourtney admits, ‘The ice cream is delish,’ as Reign adds, ‘and that sucks for a favorite. My favorite is supposed to be going on a roller coaster,’ but Kourtney explains, ‘We’re going on one tomorrow,’ which makes Reign smile.

Penelope says, ‘Going to the beach and my pit was that there was like a shark attack so I don’t wanna go in the water.’

Reign dismisses her comment and says, ‘Eh, who cares, one person were gonna get bit, I’ll take the risk.’

The nanny Allie Garcia asks Kourtney what her peak and pit has been, as she responds, ‘My peak, probably hanging out at Miranda’s. I felt like I learned so much from her mom on like the traditions that I wanna keep in my house now with the kids, like how the mom is always cooking and taking care of everyone.’

Allie added that, ‘The son was so like helpful,’ as Kourtney added, ‘And like they all do the dishes together. My pit was the spider.’

They show footage of a rather large spider walking across a white wall, as Kourtney explains in confession, ‘So the only reason I could never move to Australia is for the spiders.’
Kourtney tells her kids and Allie, ‘I look for spiders everywhere,’ adding in confession, ‘It’s just terrifying and it’s just not the way I wanna live my life.’
