The former couple also share a daughter Penelope, 11, and son Reign, 9, while Kourtney recently welcomed her first child with Travis Barker, son Rocky, in November.

Kourtney’s new photo showed her back in 2010 as she sat on a couch and held her one-year-old son at the time.

The close-up shot showed the Hulu star smiling while wearing a zebra-print top as she cuddled Mason on the sofa.

The photo showed part of Mason’s face as the toddler was seen with his eyes closed.

KEEPING IT PRIVATE

Growing up in the media, the now-teenager has preferred to stay out of the famous family’s spotlight.

Mason kick-started the second generation of the Kardashian clan and shot to fame after starring in the iconic TV series, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, from before he was even born.

Mason was a huge part of the show when he was born as he became Kris Jenner’s, 68, first grandchild.

While Reign and Penelope are frequently featured on their famous mother’s social media pages, Mason rarely makes an appearance.

Back in September, the Poosh founder explained why her oldest son stays out of the spotlight.

During an appearance on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, she said Mason “doesn’t love” the attention that goes along with being a reality TV star.

He used to have a TikTok account where he would keep up with the latest trends and show the celebrities he would end up hanging around with.

However, his mother reportedly deleted his account after believing he was too young to use the popular video app.

Mason keeps a low profile since he is off social media, and even for his 14th birthday back in December, momager Kris only shared a throwback photo of him.

GROWTH SPURT

In recent weeks many fans of the Kardashian family have taken to social media to talk about Mason’s dramatic growth spurt.

In a recent snap alongside his father, he appeared almost as tall as Scott and was seen embracing a longer, messy hairstyle.

Last month, Mason’s aunt Kim Kardashian, 43, took to her Instagram with two new photos as the family spent time in Idaho.

The teenager once again looked grown up in a black T-shirt and patterned shorts as he threw up a peace sign with his right hand.

In the comments section, fans immediately commented on how much older Mason appeared in the family shot.

“Mason is so grown,” one person noted, while a second put, “Shut UP. why does Mason look 17.”

“Mason!!! What a handsome young man!” a third said.

“Omg WE HAVENT SEEN MASON IN FOREVERRRRRRRRRRR!!!!! Our little internet nephew GREW UP!!!!!!!!!!!!” said a fourth

“Mason is a whole adult now,” wrote another.
