‘HOW WE MAKE IT WORK’ Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick
The pair continue to co-parent as Scott’s girlfriend joins the family
For the second time this month, Kourtney Kardashian has been pictured catching up with her ex Scott Disick, 35, and his new girlfriend Sofia Richie, 20.
As well as attending a recent dinner together on Nov. 4, Kardashian, 39, Disick and Richie also ventured out on Nov. 16 in West Hollywood, attending a VIP preview for the Street Dreams gallery exhibition, later joined by Kim Kardashian West.
Although they were not photographed together, the trio mingled with guests – including Kardashian pals Larsa Younan and Brittny Gastineau – before reportedly heading to dinner later in the evening with Kardashian West.
The dinner on Nov. 4 marks the first time that Disick and Kardashian – who share custody of their three young children, Mason, 8, Penelope, 6, and Reign, 3 – have been publicly spotted together since Disick and Richie made their relationship “official” in December 2017.
The thawing of tension and recognition of the seriousness of Disick’s new relationship, are said to be part of an attempt by Kardashian to forge a united front with her ex-partner for the sake of their children.
In recent episodes of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, the estranged couple admitted they had been attending counselling to learn to be better at co-parenting. But their progress hit a stumbling block, with episodes, shot almost a year ago showing Kardashian upset that Disick had already introduced his new partner (Richie) to his children.
In the months since, their relationship has strengthened, thanks, in part, to Kourtney’s
family, who, though initially sceptical of the age gap between Richie and Disick, have realised the young model is a positive influence on the father-of-three.
“Everyone really likes her,” a source close to the Keeping Up with the Kardashians stars recently told WHO.
“They think she’s a great influence and Scott is so in love, so it’s not a problem,” the source adds.
Disick and Richie, who were recently in Australia to attend a Melbourne Cup event, are often photographed on outings with his children, who are said to get along well with their dad’s new, younger girlfriend.
A source previously told WHO that Kardashian “doesn’t necessarily care to get to know Sofia better, but she feels she needs to because of the kids.”
The source added, “Sofia spends time with Kourtney’s kids, so Kourtney wants to make sure they are all on the same page.”
“Scott and Sofia tend to get into arguments [so] Kourtney wants to make sure the kids are in a positive environment when they are at Scott’s house. She is setting up rules for how things need to be when the kids are with Scott.”
Disick has remained a constant in Kardashian’s life since the pair separated back in 2015 – as recently as Nov. 15, Kardashian shared on Instagram a photo of her recent family holiday to Indonesia, which showed her and Disick enjoying some family fun with their sons, Mason and Reign.
Last year, Disick told WHO that there was no animosity in his break-up with the mother of his children, and that has helped them successfully co-parent. “We never had any negativity between us and we made a very smooth transition into the way we live, and luckily, thank God, we’re able to see one another and still be with our children and, knock on wood, that we have that,” Disick said. “Thank God we have that and everyone is somewhat happy and it seems to work. It’s not broke, so don’t fix it.”
