Kourtney Kardashian 'understands' brother Rob Kardashian's decision to snub her wedding

Kourtney Kardashian got married to Travis Barker in a lavish Italian wedding at the weekend but her brother Rob Kardashian wasn't there to see her say "I do".

However, his apparent snub isn't said to have caused any family drama and eldest sibling Kourtney, 43, is reportedly supportive of her brother's decision to stay away.

A source close to the 35-year-old claimed his no-show was down to the fact he now prefers the private life.

The source told E! News: "Rob didn't feel comfortable attending Kourtney's wedding because he doesn't like a spectacle.

"It's just not his thing, and he's become an extremely private person."

They continued by insisting his decision hasn't caused problems with his older sister or any other family members.

"Kourtney and the entire family completely understand," they added.

"Kourtney didn't expect Rob to attend and knows she has his support either way."

The source revealed that while Rob is happy to attend low-key family events, he's not keen on being in front of the cameras any more and tries his best to avoid star-studded events.

A second source told the publication that he intended on celebrating with the happy couple when they return home.

They added Rob was "missed, but there in spirit".

It's not the first time the star has skipped a family wedding. Back in 2014, he stayed away from sister Kim Kardashian's wedding to Kanye West after making a last minute decision in a bid to help his mental health.

In 2016, he told People: "I was doing my suit fittings in Paris right before the wedding and I just wasn't comfortable.

"I'm 6-foot-1 and at my most I probably weighed 300 lbs. There were cameras at the airport on our trip there and I was very unhappy with the person I saw in all the pictures. I'm upset I missed my sister's wedding, but it was a personal decision."

Kourtney's big day saw her other siblings, Kim, Khloe, Kylie and Kendall present for the nuptials.

She was walked down the aisle by mum Kris Jenner who also gave a touching speech at the wedding reception.

For bridesmaids, the POOSH founder chose her new step-daughter Alabama Barker, 16, and Travis' step-daughter Atiana De La Hoya, 23, while Kourtney's daughter Penelope, 9, was flower girl.

Seven-year-old Reign was handed the task of ring bearer.

Following the ceremony Kourtney and her close-knit pals have continued to share snaps and clips on social media from the fun-filled event.
