  • Kourtney Kardashian was notably absent from the lavish wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez in Venice, Italy, over the weekend and instead spent time with her three children.
  • Her mother, Kris Jenner, sisters Khloe, Kim, Kendall and Kylie Jenner were among the 200 celebrity guests at the three-day event.
  • Kourtney shared Instagram photos of her relaxed weekend, which included time with her children, at the beach, and at home, rather than attending the high-profile nuptials.
  • Fans praised Kourtney for her decision, with many linking her absence to widespread local protests in Venice against the wedding's perceived impact on tourism and the city.
