Scott Disick and Kourtney Kardashian’s Relationship Has Gotten Worse: He ‘Keeps His Distance’

Exes Scott Disick and Kourtney Kardashian have not become closer in the years since their final breakup and since Kardashian settled into her marriage and pregnancy with new husband, Travis Barker.

A source told Entertainment Tonight that Disick has been deliberately taking space from Kardashian, with whom he shares three children: Mason, 13, Penelope, 11, and Reign, 8.

“Scott has been very low-key lately and focusing on himself and his kids,” the source said. “He’s been spending more time in Miami and doing his own thing. Scott tries to be as supportive of Kourtney as possible, but also knows that it’s best to keep his distance, especially during a stressful time with her recent surgery.” (Kardashian had emergency fetal surgery earlier this month.)

“Scott and Kourtney are not as friendly as they used to be, so he tries to be respectful and give her space, while also being there for her and the family,” the source added.

Kardashian posted on Instagram about the procedure she had last week. She shared:

I will be forever grateful to my incredible doctors for saving our baby’s life. I am eternally grateful to my husband who rushed to my side from tour to be with me in the hospital and take care of me afterwards, my rock. And to my mom, thank you for holding my hand through this.

As someone who has had three really easy pregnancies in the past, I wasn’t prepared for the fear of rushing into urgent fetal surgery. I don’t think anyone who hasn’t been through a similar situation can begin to understand that feeling of fear. I have a whole new understanding and respect for the mamas who have had to fight for their babies while pregnant.

Praise be to God. Walking out of the hospital with my baby boy in my tummy and safe was the truest blessing. ????????????
