Kourtney and Scott compete over new loves

He’d been proudly flaunting his whirlwind relationship with teen actress Bella Thorne in Cannes last week, but self-confessed sex addict Scott Disick seemingly did a U-turn on their budding romance when he was pictured kissing his former fling, stylist Chloe Bartoli, the following day.

But playboy Scott’s behaviour seemingly did little to dampen his ex Kourtney Kardashian’s mood, who was also in the French Riviera and was spotted enjoying a string of dates with 24-year-old model boyfriend Younes Bendjima.

Pals say the former couple are now in a battle to prove who’s happier. A source says: “Kourtney’s playing one-upmanship with Scott and says that after him being linked to countless women, it’s her turn to rile him and prove she’s also moving on. Kourtney’s been going out of her way to show how desirable and happy she is, which is driving Scott wild with jealousy. He’s sent her a few snipey texts about Younes, which Kourt refuses to reply to as she insists it makes Scott more jealous than ever.”

Kourtney, 37 – who has Mason, seven, Penelope, four, and Reign, two, with Scott – split from him following an on/off 10-year romance, which was blighted by his drinking problems.

A source adds: “Kourt and Scott have tried to keep things amicable for the sake of the kids but, right now, tensions have been really fraught over their new partners.

“Kourt wants to move on and be happy, but Scott’s still in love with her and can’t seem to let go.”
