Now that Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick have been broken up for several years, many fans have expressed that they want the couple to get back together, especially since they’re still friendly with one another. However, this Keeping Up With the Kardashians ex-couple maybe shouldn’t consider rekindling the flame for several reasons.
The story of Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick goes way back in time. After meeting at a party in 2006, they started dating and began appearing on Keeping Up with the Kardashians in 2007. Viewers of the reality show likely remember their ongoing struggles as a couple and Scott’s challenging integration into the matriarchal family. In the second season, Kardashian accused Disick of cheating on her causing a brief split. The breakup didn’t last long because in 2009 the duo hooked up and Kourtney announced she was pregnant with Mason. With the cheating incident behind them, a new issue emerged: Scott’s substance abuse. At one point, Disick even proposed to Kourtney, but she turned him down. “I just feel like right now I’m happy with the way things are,” Kardashian said at the time. Since then, Kourtney and Scott have had a few more children and a few more breakups. Today, they’re officially broken up. Here’s why it should stay that way.
One of the main reasons that Kourtney and Scott should stay split up is because they’ve both begun to date other people. Shortly after the duo called it quits for good in 2015, Kourtney began hooking up with Justin Bieber. At the time, Scott’s response was a bit toxic. An insider reported, “Scott feels she’s doing this to get back at him and get revenge. He feels he has to take it and can’t say anything after all he did to her, but he thinks it’s dumb and immature.” Shortly after Kardashian’s romance with Justin, she officially moved on by dating Younes Bendjima for two years. Now, Kourtney is dating Travis Barker so it’s safe to say she’s moved on permanently. Why go back to your ex if you’re happy with someone new?
Around the same time that Kourtney started hooking up with Justin, Disick went to rehab to gain control over his alcohol and drug issues while Kardashian cared for their kids. It’s great that Scott has addressed his addictions, but one can only imagine how frustrating it is for Kourtney to deal with his constant instability which is another reason they’re not meant to be. Kardashian is a strong, competent and powerful person, and she deserves to be with someone that has the same qualities. Scott started dating other people in 2017, likely because he accepted that Kourtney had moved on. He dated Bella Thorne briefly and then famously dated Sofia Richie for a few years. At the time, a source close to Kardashian said, “Kourtney thinks this fling with Sofia is a little weird, but nothing shocks her anymore. Kourtney just wants Scott to be his old self. She shares three kids with him, so she’ll always want the best for him and will always make sure he’s happy.” Scott is currently dating Amelia Hamlin, so it's safe to say he's moved on too. Kourtney and Scott continue to co-parent their children, but have set healthy boundaries in their relationship.
Kourtney and Scott had a good run in their romance; however, that doesn’t mean it’s meant to be. They’ve known each other for long enough that there’s no skeletons hiding in the closet; they pretty much know everything there is to know about each other. Both Keeping Up with the Kardashians stars have began dating new people too, so why go back to a relationship they know won't work? Even though they’re not romantically involved, and probably shouldn’t be, the fact that they’ve been able to put their kids' needs first and set aside their issues as a couple is commendable and inspiring.
