Kourtney Kardashian Is Moving On but Here is Why Her Family Will Never Break Up With Scott Disick
At one point over the years, every member of
the Kardashian family has been totally over Scott
Disick. (maybe not Rob
Kardashian.)
"I don’t like people who play victim. Be
accountability for your actions," tweeted Khloe
Kardashian—who before becoming one of his closest friends
regularly referred to Scott as a "douche lord" because of his shady
ways—after a January 2016 episode of Keeping Up With the
Kardashians that depicted the tough time he was having when Kourtney
Kardashian broke up with him in
July 2015 after nine rocky years.
"I do not think it is healthy for
Kourt to spend so much energy always helping you when all you do is shit on
her," Kim fired back at him when he explained how sorry he was for
embarrassing their family.
And for a while, it seemed as if a romantic reconciliation for
Kourtney and Scott—who as the parents of three children together have never
been out of contact for any significant length of time since after the
split—was imminent. Fans were rooting for them. Kardashian family was
exhausted by Scott, but certainly rooting for him to turn his life
around and act like the man he kept claiming he knew he had
to be to get back in Kourtney's good graces.
But now it has been over two years since
Kourtney sent Scott packing, and the tensions currently boiling over on KUWTK are
serving as an explanation as to why Kourtney is where she is at right now.
Not that the 38-year-model has not been going
out and living her life for two years. But while Scott never took pains to
avoid being photographed with various women since the split, it was not until
recently that Kourtney was ready to go public with the moving-on aspect of her
life.
She is now dating model Younes Bendjima, who
celebrated his 24th birthday last Friday with a romantic dinner for two in
Beverly Hills. They met during Paris Fashion Week last October, and we were
told she has been eagerly spending her free time with him lately while she is
not with the kids.
"Kourtney and Younes have been together several
times in the few last weeks," a source explained to Us last week. "It
has been casual, but they’re really getting to know each other and having
fun."
It may be casual, but the fact that they have
even been seen together is a step in a different direction for Kourtney, who
with the occasional hookup rumor has not done any public dating since breaking
up with Scott.
However, sources say Scott is not too happy about the whole
thing: he gets jealous at the thought of Kourtney dating
anyone else and he hates seeing the photographic evidence.
"He has, like, two personalities, that is the hard
thing," Kourt mused not long after the breakup. "It is like he wants
both, 'I just want my family' or whatever. And I am just like, 'Well, what are
you doing to try to change your life?' There is just a lot that would have to
happen for him to get on a good path."
Scott and Kourtney went through stages of
being broken up, from her being mad at
him to the two being close enough to take their kids on a ski trip, from Scott
feeling detached from the whole family to vacationing with everybody in
Costa Rica and Aspen. There were rumors that Scott and
Kourtney were living together again, dating again, a couple again and so on.
But whatever it was that needed to happen for
the two to officially reconcile never reakky happened.
Last Sunday's episode of Keeping Up
With the Kardashians showed how Scott secretly invited another woman to
meet up with him in Costa Rica when he was there with the Kardashians in
January, and the family was not having it.
"Stop!" Khloe shouted at him when she found out.
"On our family trip with the kids?! I do not believe it. I am in shock.
Who does something like this? You were just downstairs trying to make out with
Kourt. How dare you?!"
"What a big loser," Kim added.
"I always had his back. I always thought like, 'Oh, they are going to get
back together.' Move on."
The display of disrespect on Scott's part even
made Kourtney to announce, "I am just thinking about all the guys I am
going to get laid when I get home!"
Even family matriarch Kris
Jenner, who has unabashedly declared through thick and thin that
her concern for Scott's well-being knows no bounds, was the first to confront
him.
It is uncomfortable just thinking about it.
But though that was about as low as Scott had
gone in a really long time, the anger was unlikely to result in any
lasting damage, at least as far as Scott's long-term
relationship with the rest of the family went.
His actions may have spurred Kourt to move on
once and for all, but as the father of three of Kris' grandchildren, Scott's
always has a place in the family fold.
"Scott will always be one of my kids and part of our
family," Kris told us us in September. "I do not even track
their relationship as much as I track the family like he is my kid."
The family showed the same kindness towards Lamar
Odom when Khloe was helping him recover after his near-fatal
overdose in October 2015 (a horrible event that sent Scott scurrying to rehab
days later); at the end of the day, they relied on Khloe to make the right
decisions for herself and they went with the flow, something the entire Kardashian-Jenner
family are good at.
Same thing when Kim was robbed and Kanye
West was hospitalized—the family closes ranks and are just
there for each other.
To outsiders trying to pry, Scott would seem like a special
case, especially considering his pattern of not being faithful to Kourt. But
once again, the family was merely following Kourtney's lead: if she was not
giving up on him, then they were not. And since he is forever linked to them as
the father of Mason, Reign
Disick and Penelope, they will continue to want what
is best for him.
And Kourt more than anyone wants what is best
for her kids, which is why, just a few weeks ago, she and Scott were "back
at it again with the co-parenting skills," as she noted on Instagram from
their family vacation in Hawaii.
Sometimes Dad may behave like a real douche lord, but he is
lucky that his family is never going to hold that against him for long.
Asked in March how he and Kourt were making
the co-parenting work, our team "I do not know, and I do not want to jinx
it."
He added, "I do not think we know any other way, to be
honest. We never had any negativity between us and we made a very smooth
transition into the way we live, and luckily, thank God, we are able to see one
another and still be with our children and, knock on wood, that we have that.
Thank God we have that and everyone is somewhat happy and it seems to work. It
is not broke, so do not fix it."
