Scott Disick has confessed that his ‘close relationship’ with ex-girlfriend Kourtney Kardashian contributed to his breakup with Sofia Richie.

Disick, 37, speaks up to his ex Kourtney Kardashian in a new clip from the last season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians about his decision to take a “break” from his relationship with Sofia.

In the video, the Poosh founder is seen in her pajamas, sipping what seems to be chilled white wine, before asking Scott how he was doing after learning that he and Sofia were “on a break.” “I don’t know, I just think people come into our lives and think it’s maybe easier than they think,” Disick explains. When Kourtney inquires about what he means, Disick reveals that it was difficult for Sofia since he and Kourtney are such good friends.

“But it’s very true that we do come with a lot of baggage. And it’s definitely not easy that we see each other, work together and are friends. When you first get with someone, everybody is making changes and [like], ‘Oh, I’ll do anything because I’m so happy or so in love, so excited’ and in the end when it sinks in and becomes real life, it’s a lot different.”

Scott confesses that if the positions were reversed, he wouldn’t be able to handle the situation. “But I’ve always been clear that my priority has been my children, my life with them. I even put it out there that taking care of you is one of my priorities,” he continues.

While Disick praises Richie for being a “trouper” throughout their relationship, he admits that anyone in this circumstance would feel abandoned.

“The truth is, anybody dating somebody is going to feel neglected when their significant other is spending more time with their ex than with them,” he admits.

After three years together, Scott and Sofia called it quits in August 2020, citing their 15-year age gap and his commitment to his three children as reasons.

Scott went on to express his concerns regarding his and Kourtney’s future. “I just don’t know are we just going to like grow old just traveling the world with the kids living like one house down from each other, or together at some point.”

In the closing seconds of the video, Kardashian tells Disick that she appreciates how their children benefit from their close bond, but she doesn’t want him to be scared to prioritize his significant other as well.

“Well, I think that it’s great that we can do that with the kids and the kids like, love it,” Kourtney says. “And I do think we have to be respectful of our relationship and make sacrifices for that, if it means a lot to you.”

While both Kardashian and Disick are in new relationships — Kardashian with Blink-182 musician Travis Barker and Disick with model Amelia Hamlin — their families are hoping that the two can work out their differences.

After nearly a decade together, Disick and Kardashian divorced in 2015. They share three kids — sons Mason, 11, and Reign, 6, as well as 8-year-old daughter Penelope.
