Kourtney Kardashian does an Instagram underwear ad with her boyfriend
April 3, 2018
Kourtney Kardashian and Younes Bendjima are still together. Yes, I’m as shocked by that as the next person, mainly because they treated this so casually when they got together, I didn’t think it would last the summer. But it did so congrats, you crazy kids.
Kourt and Younes are frequently photographed by paparazzi, which is probably by design. Younes is an aspiring model and the Kardashians subsist off the paparazzi. Despite the very obvious “look at us!” pap stolls, Younes does not appear very often on Kourt’s Instagram. Last week, though, he sure did:
As the hashtags indicate, this is an ad for Calvin Klein. The Kardashians have been starring in CK’s Americana-themed “Our Family” ads so this is an extension of that partnership. Because what’s more American than dropping on your partners lap in the bathroom and snapping a selfie of it? For a Kardashian selfie, this is completely on brand, paid endorsement or not. And truthfully, it’s on brand for a CK underwear ad as well. So even though there are some high levels of thirst going on here, the photo is pretty hot. They certainly do not lack for chemistry. The phone detracts, though, as does Younes’s perplexed appearance. If the desire here is to promote his modeling career, he might have rethought the “who dat?” look. Even Kourt’s giving better face and she’s usually just a step above clueless.
The longevity of Kourt and Younes’ relationship has surprised more than just me. Us was so shocked they felt these two deserved a romance retrospective showing the couple’s dedication to watercraft and questionable fashion. I’m not sure we needed a “Their Year in Love” review but whatever. Kourtney has always had a little trouble finding her footing as far as branding. If launching Younes as a mainstream model is her thing, more power to her.
