Kourtney Kardashian’s latest episode on The Kardashians gave fans a rare and fleeting glimpse of her son Mason Disick, who made a brief but notable appearance.

On Thursday, July 25, viewers tuned in to see Kourtney, her sisters Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, and Kylie Jenner, all gathered for a large family dinner, showcasing their growing children, the final scene in season five of the Hulu show.

While the show has frequently featured the Kardashian-Jenner kids, Mason’s rare onscreen presence was a standout moment.

14-Year-Old Mason Looks All Grown-Up

Throughout the episode, Mason, who is now 14, was spotted in several quick scenes. He was seen hugging his mother and spending time with his younger siblings, Penelope, 12, and Reign, 9.

One particularly striking moment came when Kourtney, 45, embraced Mason, who now towers over her—a stark reminder of how quickly time flies. For long-time fans who remember the emotional episodes of Keeping Up with the Kardashians where Kourtney gave birth to Mason, this visual transformation was quite a revelation.

The episode highlighted Kourtney and her husband Travis Barker’s trip to Australia, which they took with Penelope and Reign. The couple also brought along their youngest, Rocky, who was just three months old at the time.

Mason decided to stay behind, opting to remain close to his friends and avoid the limelight, a choice Kourtney acknowledged with a hint of sadness. He stayed with his father, Scott Disick, who made various appearances on The Kardashians this season, though he’s clearly keeping his distance from Kourtney.

Why Mason Stepped Back From Fame

As Mason grows older, it’s evident that he might prefer stepping back from the public eye, despite joining Instagram last year. This trend of seeking privacy is becoming more common among the Kardashian-Jenner children as they mature.

For instance, his cousin North West also makes fewer public appearances these days. Nevertheless, North did have a small cameo during the same family gathering, marking a brief return to the spotlight as they celebrated the season finale.

Kourtney shares her oldest children with her former partner Scott. Mason was born in December 2009, Penelope in July 2012, and Reign in December 2014. Kourtney’s relationship with Scott, which began in 2006, was filled with highs and lows but ultimately ended in 2015.

Their split was influenced by various factors, including Scott’s personal struggles and differing life priorities as well as rumors of infidelity. Despite their separation, Scott’s reaction to Kourtney’s relationship with Travis has been a point of public intrigue, with reports suggesting feelings of jealousy and discomfort.
