The Kardashians set to focus on Kim and Kourtney's 'unresolved conflict'

The highly-anticipated fourth season of The Kardashians is set to premiere next week and there's bound to be plenty of drama in store.

The hit reality show is returning just two months after season three ended, with fans left wondering how the feud between Kim Kardashian and her sister Kourtney Kardashian would play out. In a trailer for the upcoming season, Kourtney was heard calling Kim a "witch" before declaring: "I hate you."

And it seems things might only get worse for the pair, with leading transformation coach Noor Hibbert suggesting they have "unresolved" conflict. Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, she said she's convinced the feud between Kim and Kourtney is "absolutely real".

"There's always been an underlying issue between the two sisters. I genuinely don't think if it wasn't real, they could have sustained it over such a long period of time," Noor told us.

She also suggested the rivalry between the sisters has gotten worse in recent years. The Sunday Times Bestselling author added: "I really believe there's unresolved internal conflict between the two sisters."

There was a lot of tension between Kourtney and Kim during the third season of The Kardashians, with Kim being accused by Kourtney of using her wedding as a "business opportunity". Noor said the rivalry between Kim and Kourtney seems to stem from their childhood.

She explained: "There's instances where Kourtney's alluded to things that have happened when they were younger. The fact that they keep referencing things that happened when they were children now as grown women is indicative of the fact that there's unprocessed experiences that are left open and need to be closed down."

Elsewhere in the new trailer, momager Kris Jenner can be heard gushing over Tristan Thompson, who famously cheated on her daughter Khloe Kardashian. Khloe and Tristan started dating in 2016 and welcomed their first child - daughter True - in 2018.

They first called time on their romance after it was revealed Tristan cheated on Khloe with her younger sister Kylie Jenner's best friend Jordyn Woods. However, Khloe and Tristan reignited their relationship while quarantining together during the Covid-19 pandemic.

They split for a final time when it was announced Tristan had fathered another child behind Khloe's back while they were expecting their own baby via surrogate. Their son Tatum was born after their split, in July 2022.

In the new trailer, Kris said: "Tristan has been such a hands-on dad," before it cut to a shot of the two of them laughing. Confronting her mother, Khloe admitted she was "hurting".

Noor said that while Kris has provided a great role model for co-parenting, following the breakdown of her relationships with Robert Kardashian and Caitlyn Jenner, she can still "hurt" her daughters. "I find the dynamic between Tristan, Khloe and Kris very interesting," Noor admitted. "As well as it being inspiring, it's also very difficult. It's certainly difficult for the girls to untangle."

She added: "The girls have an incredible foundation of what co-parenting looks like. Due to this, a lot of the girls feel an unconscious sense of pressure to meet up to their mother's standard."

Noor suggested we will see a lot more of Khloe and Tristan in the new series. "I think we will see more of that dynamic because Kris takes great pride in trying to show how the families can come together. I do believe there can be adverse negative impact of this on the girls but I think we'll see more of that dynamic playing out," she said.

Khloe isn't the only Kardashian to have a changing love life. Kendall Jenner has recently been spotted on a number of dates with rapper Bad Bunny, while Kylie Jenner has been pictured kissing actor Timothée Chalamet.

The two sisters are notoriously private about their love lives and have kept them separate from their family's show. Noor said: "I don't believe Kylie and Kendall will change much.

"I think the only reason that they would change is if they got pressured by other family members. They're quite set in their ways of how they want to do things."

Earlier this year, Kourtney Kardashian announced she is expecting her first baby with her husband Travis Barker. It's been reported that she wants to set boundaries with her family during the birth and wants control over the footage of her in the delivery room.

Noor told us: "Kourtney has changed so much over the years in terms of her perspective on life and what really matters to her." She added: "It is no surprise she is fighting for control over the filming of scenes of her pregnancy. As the sisters know this is where she stands, they have come to accept this, so I don't think it will cause more family arguments."
