SCOTT Disick has always had feelings for ex Kourtney Kardashian – despite his three year romance with Sofia Richie.
The Flip It Like Disick star, 37, called time on his relationship with Sofia this week, with sources now revealing how his lingering feelings for Kourtney took a toll on their romance.
An insider told US Weekly: “Scott is always going to be in love with Kourtney, and that’s something Sofia has had to face since even before she got serious with him.
“It’s been an ongoing thing. It just became more apparent that his family was more of a priority than she was, and his family would be his main priority over anything and anyone.”
Scott and Kourtney dated between 2006 to 2015, and they share three children – Mason, 10, Penelope, seven, and Reign, five.
The dad-of-three soon went on to find love with model Sofia, 21, with the pair dating for nearly three years.
It comes days after sources close to the pair revealed that they are “not getting back together this time” after they decided to take a break following Scott’s admission to rehab in early May.
The insider admitted it was Sofia’s decision, and that Scott’s “demons were getting the better of him and issues he’d brushed under the rug caught up with him during self-isolation.”
Scott is said to be “taking care of his personal issues” and focusing on his “health and mental state” following their split.
Speaking to In Touch, an insider explained: “[Sofia] realized that Scott needed time to take care of Scott.
“She wasn’t oblivious, she knew he had demons, but he’s dealing with them now and she’s happy about that.”
Their relationship was rocky at first with Kourtney and Sofia not meeting until a year into her romance with Scott.
The three were then spotted sharing a “tense” dinner in Los Angeles in October 2018, with Kourtney reportedly keen to meet her ex’s new partner for the sake of her children.
While earlier this year, Sofia was reported to have stood up to Kourtney following years of “bullying.”

An insider revealed: “Sofia has literally spent years biting her lip and dealing with all of Kourt’s attitude, but now she’s totally done with it.
“She’s taking the initiative and making it known that she won’t be bullied or talked down to anymore.”
Scott was spotted celebrating his birthday alongside Kourtney’s famous family earlier this week.
