Inside Scott Disick's Candid Thoughts on Kourtney Kardashian's Romance with Travis Barker

Scott Disick seems to have some reservations about Kourtney Kardashian's relationship with Travis Barker. The former couple, who were together on and off for a decade, ended their relationship in 2015. Despite dating other people, there was always a hope among Kardashian's family that they would reconcile. However, during a KUWTK reunion episode in June 2021, Kourtney revealed that they had not been intimate since their breakup.

“People cannot believe that, but we have not,” Kardashian told Andy Cohen. “For real.”

Disick added, “How annoying.”

The mother of three revealed the reasons behind their breakup, attributing it to her partner's infidelity and substance abuse. Disick acknowledged his wrongdoing, stating that he doesn't want to justify his behavior and admitting that he might not have engaged in those actions if he had been sober, but he now realizes that it was all wrong and he had previously considered it to be normal.

Following the conclusion of KUWTK in early 2021, Kardashian publicly acknowledged her relationship with Barker, which had been kept a secret since late 2020. On the other hand, Disick had been romantically linked to Amelia Gray Hamlin since October 2020, following the end of his three-year relationship with Sofia Richie.

According to a source, there has been a noticeable shift in dynamics between Disick and the famous Kardashian family since the filming of KUWTK came to an end, coinciding with Kourtney and Travis's romantic involvement.

Their relationship has deepened significantly in the last couple of months, as per an insider. In April 2021, the source disclosed, "Their love for each other has grown immensely, and their connection is incredibly intense."

According to another source, Kardashian is extremely content with Travis and she has received significant approval from others as well. They truly understand each other and enjoy their time together.

However, the question remains: does she have Disick's approval? Let's delve into everything we know about his sentiments regarding Kardashian's relationship with Barker.

Strained Relationship

Disick began to experience a sense of detachment from the Kardashians after the conclusion of KUWTK in early 2021, as revealed by an insider.

In May 2021, the source stated that Scott and Kourtney's relationship is undeniably strained. They have limited communication, except when it pertains to their children.

According to the source, Scott not only feels disconnected from Kourtney but also from the entire Kardashian family. His biggest fear was becoming out of touch with his "family," and now that he is on the outskirts with Kourtney, it is affecting him deeply.

In Scott’s Words

Disick broke his silence on Kardashian’s relationship with Barker during the June 2021 KUWTK reunion, telling Cohen that he wants her to be happy.

"If you truly love someone, you genuinely desire their happiness above all else. Hence, I wholeheartedly give her my blessings to find joy," he expressed, subtly criticizing Younes Bendjima, Kardashian's former partner, when the host of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen insinuated that Disick becomes "extremely upset" when Kourtney is romantically linked to other men.

Disick retorted, "Me? No, I simply wish to eradicate them. ... Particularly the most recent individual. Let's be candid here."

The Amelia Shade

"It's really strange to me. I mean, what connection does a person born in 2001 have with these adults? I can only imagine how uncomfortable that dinner must have been," remarked a social media user. Several days later, it was verified by Us that the drummer's official social media account had "liked" the comment.

The Younes DM

"Hey, is this girl alright? Seriously, what's going on here? We're in the middle of Italy," Disick supposedly direct messaged Bendjima in August 2021, following Kardashian and Barker's public display of affection during their trip.

Bendjima, who shared the alleged exchange via Instagram Stories, replied, “Don’t matter to me as long as she’s happy. PS: i aint your bro.”

“Scott felt a wave of embarrassment when Younes made their private conversation public,” a source revealed to Us in September 2021. “At the time he messaged Younes, Scott was caught up in a moment of intense emotions and was hoping for a similar reaction from him, considering their shared history of dating Kourtney.”

The DM Aftermath

Disick expressed his frustration with the widespread display of their photos and strongly believes that excessive public displays of affection should be avoided due to their inappropriate behavior, which can easily be accessed by their children online. In April 2022, Kourtney shared that Disick had reached out to her following the controversy surrounding direct messages.

"When I was in Italy with Travis on our summer vacation, I woke up to a text from Scott apologizing profusely. He admitted to direct messaging my ex-boyfriend, whom he despises," the Poosh founder recounted on The Kardashians. "In response, I expressed my disgust, emphasizing the importance of his actions aligning with his desire to be involved in our lives and behaving accordingly."

Rising Tensions

Despite being seen together at Reign's baseball game in March 2022, an exclusive source revealed to Us that Disick has a strong dislike for Barker. According to the insider, their hangout was a rare occurrence, as Disick generally cannot tolerate being around the musician unless it involves their children.

The source mentioned that it will require some time for Disick to completely accept that Travis is the perfect match for the Poosh founder. Disick still considers her as "the one that got away."

A source revealed in March 2022 that Disick might prefer to "keep his distance" from witnessing his ex's wedding, stating that "it would definitely be uncomfortable if Scott were present." However, the source mentioned that if the wedding ceremony is filmed for the Kardashian-Jenner family's Hulu series, The Kardashians, then he might reconsider attending.

During The Kardashians premiere, Disick confessed to feeling excluded after not receiving an invitation to a family event due to Kourtney and Barker. He expressed how hurtful it was to be left out and not informed, especially since he didn't have another family to turn to. Disick emphasized his preference to be around his family rather than being alone, stating that he felt lonely amidst the changes. However, he acknowledged that with Kourtney's new life with Travis, he sees a glimmer of hope for his own future and the possibility of moving on.

"It was a significant adjustment to lose Kourtney not only romantically, but also as my closest friend. Now, our relationship primarily revolves around co-parenting. I must admit, it is one of the most challenging aspects of my life," he confessed on an episode of The Kardashians in April 2022. "Kourtney has every right to despise me for the way I treated her; it was truly terrible. It's not something that would be tolerated today, even for a single day. Unfortunately, it persisted for years."

'Still Not Totally Comfortable' With Kardashian and Barker's Marriage

According to a source, Disick made the decision to not attend the Kardashian-Jenner family's Easter celebrations in 2023 due to feeling uncomfortable spending an entire weekend with Kourtney and Travis. Despite accepting that their relationship is over for good, it can still be challenging for him to be in close quarters with them, especially at Kris Jenner's house.

He maintains a strong bond with all of them and successfully co-parents with Kourtney. However, the insider mentioned that they won't be spending every holiday together like they used to before she started dating Travis. "Things have changed, plain and simple."
