Is Scott Disick Really Not Doing Well After Kourtney Kardashian's Engagement?
Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker got engaged on October 17 at the Rosewood Miramar Beach Hotel in Santa Barbara, California, according to Us Weekly. "Both Travis and Kourtney are on cloud nine," a source told the outlet. Kourtney and Travis have been friends for many years, but took their relationship to the next level sometime in early 2021, making things Instagram official on February 16. After Travis got down on one knee, Kourtney took to Instagram to share a few snaps from the super-romantic proposal, which took place on the beach inside a huge circle of red roses and tall candles. "Forever," she captioned the post, marking her very first engagement. "Forever," Travis wrote in the comments.
Kourtney previously dated Scott Disick, whom she shares three children. Although Kourtney and Scott were on and off for about 10 years, they never actually got engaged. Scott has almost always looked at Kourtney as his leading lady, even after their various splits. However, marriage just wasn't on the table for one reason or another. And now that Kourtney has found love with someone else, many are wondering just how Scott is dealing with the fact that he's losing that part of Kourtney — for good. Keep reading to find out how Scott is handling the engagement news.
Scott Disick is 'going crazy,' source says
Scott Disick hasn't spoken out about his ex's recent engagement, but a source told Page Six that the reality star is having a very hard time. "Scott is going crazy. He's going to go off the deep end. It's really bad. It's about to get dark," the source shared. As the outlet points out, Scott was asked about Kourtney and Travis' relationship during the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" reunion that aired back in June. Disick said that "if you really love somebody right, you want them to be happy no matter what." He also told host Andy Cohen that he gives Kourtney "a blessing to be happy."
Shortly after Kourtney and Travis' engagement was made official, several fans took to the comments section on Scott's most recent Instagram post to show him some love. "We love you Scott!" one Instagram user wrote. "Scott are you ok?" added another Instagram user. "Team Scott," a third Instagram comment read.
Scott Disick reportedly hoped to reconcile with Kourtney Kardashian
While Scott Disick and Kourtney Kardashian split back in 2015, and have both had serious relationships with other people over the past few years, sources say that Scott was always hopeful that he and Kourtney would reconcile. And, despite what he may have said about wanting nothing more than for Kourtney to be happy, it seems as though he really wasn't a fan of his ex moving on with Travis. "Scott never approved of Kourtney dating Travis. He has struggled with their relationship. He always had this idea that he and Kourtney would eventually get back together. He was pretty shocked when he found out that she was dating Travis," a source told People magazine after Kourtney and Travis' engagement news hit the internet.
Meanwhile, another source told E! News that Scott knew an engagement was on the horizon, but that didn't make it any easier for him. He's "still really sad about it and is feeling low," the source said. "He will always care for Kourtney. She is the mother of his children and no one else will compare to that," the source added. But why didn't Scott and Kourtney ever get married? According to Showbiz Cheatsheet, Scott was too much of a partier, and Kourtney didn't believe that he was really serious about their relationship. While she gave him several years to prove himself, he just never got to where she needed him to be.
Has Scott Disick spoken to Kourtney Kardashian since her engagement?
Scott Disick and Kourtney Kardashian have not spoken since she got engaged to Travis Barker, a source told E! News. The source said that Scott is actually "avoiding" his ex and her new fiance. "He will always be a part of the Kardashian family but it is hard for him to be around Kourtney and Travis," another source explained. "He wants her to be happy, but behind closed doors, he will always have regrets about their relationship and why it didn't work out," another source told the outlet.
Meanwhile, Scott is single after he and Amelia Gray Hamlin broke things off back in September, according to Us Weekly. Interestingly, their split came on the heels of Scott DMing a photo of Kourtney and Travis to Kourtney's ex-boyfriend, Younes Bendjima. "Yo is this chick ok!????? Brooo like what is this. In the middle of Italy," the DM, shared by Bendjima, read.
Kourtney and Scott have a very strong bond that is glued together by their three children. The former couple is dedicated to co-parenting, as evidenced by this 2019 interview they did for Poosh, and will likely continue putting their children first, regardless of Kourtney's relationship status.
