As Kourtney Kardashian continues to post Instagram proof she and Travis Barker are so enamored with each other that she's giving him an “I love you” tattoo, E! got an update
on how her ex-boyfriend and father of her three children Scott Disick is taking it. He truly is struggling, a source explained, to the point that his relationship with Kardashian has taken a major hit.
“Scott and Kourtney have a tense relationship right now primarily because he's been focusing on his new life in Miami and because of Kourtney getting serious with Travis,” the source said. “They are barely speaking. It's hard for him to see Kourtney in love with someone else.”
The source clarified that the two aren't fighting; they just haven't “spent much time together as a family recently.” The lack of big public gesture for Mother's Day, it was deliberate, the source made clear.
“Scott will always be in Kourtney's life, it's just a different dynamic right now,” the source said. “Scott wished Kourtney a happy Mother's Day privately but is really distancing himself. He doesn't want to interfere with her relationship. They do connect about the kids often, but that's about the extent of it currently.”
This is just the latest update from E! on how much Disick and Kardashian's relationship has been altered as her months-long romance with Barker continues.
E! initially reported at the end of April that Disick was starting to take space from Kardashian. “Scott has really distanced himself from Kourtney recently,” a source close to Disick said at the time. “Of course they are still cordial when it comes to the kids, but they aren't hanging out as much or doing things as a family. The communication has become strictly about the kids.”
“It's uncomfortable for Scott to see Kourtney in a serious relationship, although he knew this day would come,” a source added. “He is glad she is happy, but it's definitely been hard on him. He doesn't like to bring it up and it's a weird convo for him. At one point, the family was really encouraging Scott and Kourtney to try the relationship again and it's a bit of an eye opener for him, that it's truly never going to happen.”
