Scott Disick and Sofia Richie split because he’s ‘still in love’ with ex Kourtney – Daily Mail

Scott Disick’s love for ex-girlfriend Kourtney Kardashian became an issue in his relationship with Sofia Richie.

Scott’s split from 21-year-old Sofia was revealed this week after they dated for three years. And it seems there was tension brewing between the couple due Scott’s lingering feelings for his ex.

‘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,’ a source told UsWeekly.

They go on to say that the daughter of singer Lionel Richie realized she wasn’t going to be Scott’s priority.

‘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 has three children with Kourtney; Mason, 10, Penelope, seven, and Reign, five. They dated for nine years from 2006 to 2015.  

Scott and Sofia, who got together in 2017, are said to have gone their separate ways after Scott’s recent stint in rehab, multiple outlets confirmed Wednesday.

As first reported by Dailymail.com, Scott entered rehab last month seeking treatment for ‘past traumas’.

‘Sofia noticed that he wasn’t doing well and gave him an ultimatum, and in the end it seemed like Scott was more focused on Kourtney and his kids than her.’ a source said.

Soon after news broke of the split, Scott shared a photo to Instagram of himself in Utah by a swimming pool. ‘Little water never hurt nobody,’ remarked the star.

Page Six added that his bad ways and his ex gave Sofia pause.

‘Scott had gone back to his old ways,’ the source said, ‘and Sofia got fed up.’

Scott recently celebrated his 37th birthday without Sofia, and instead was joined by Kourtney and their three children in Lake Powell, Utah.

But there’s no indication of a reconciliation between Scott and Kourtney, with a source telling UsWeekly that Scott has yet to prove himself to her after she gave him many chances over the years.

‘The fact that he is the father of their three kids keeps them connected forever. Kourtney wants the best for Scott and knows they’ve been through the wringer together. She lets him in — but at an arm’s length.’  

DailyMail.com revealed exclusively that Scott had checked into rehab on April 28 at the All Points North Lodge in Edwards, Colorado.

The reality star was reportedly dealing with issues related to alcohol and cocaine use, but his lawyer Marty Singer disputed that characterization to TMZ.

Shortly after, Kourtney seemed to reference drama in her life with a cryptic Instagram Stories post: ‘kinda tired of being OK with things im not okay with.’

Scott and Sofia began dating in the summer of 2017.

Interestingly the pair met around the time of his birthday, as Scott was pictured flirting with Sofia aboard a yacht in the South of France on May 24 for his 34th birthday getaway party.

By September 2017, it was reported that they were indeed dating, and were pictured in Miami posing in front of a cake that read: ‘Congratulations Scott and Sophia [sic].’
