Scott Disick’s breakup with Sofia Richie came after the young model gave him an ultimatum — either chose me or Kourtney Kardashian.
The 37-year-old reality star made the revelation on the the premiere episode of Season 20 of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” saying that Richie laid down the law during a 4th of July hangout in Malibu.
He ultimately ended his relationship with the 22-year-old daughter of singer Lionel Richie, though he is not back with Kardashian either.
He told Kim and sister Khloé on the show that he tried to prioritize Richie, but she still felt neglected and thought he prioritized his ex-gal pal, Kourtney, with whom he co-parents three kids.
Kourtney and Disick had an on-again-off-again relationship from 2006 until 2015 and share three children, Mason, 11, Penelope, 8, and Reign, 6.
“Even when doing that, I feel like she just started wanting to like push Kourtney out and I said like, ‘That’s the most important thing to me, is my kids and that’s my family and the only family I have,’” he explained. “Including you guys along with it.”
He added, “And she was like, ‘I don’t want to share you as a boyfriend with Kourtney’ and then she literally said with an ultimatum, ‘You have to choose me or Kourtney.’”
Disick said that he understood her feelings and wanted to work with her on a solution, but chose Kourtney as she is his family “unit.”
“I said, ‘How could you even want that for me?’ It just became like, an impossible relationship to keep carrying on with,” he told Khloé and Kim.
“I’m never going to give up my relationship with Kourtney and the co-parenting we have,” he explained in a confessional. “Nothing in a million years will be worth what we have and I truthfully believe if the right person were to even come along into Kourtney’s life or my life, us having children and having this amazing relationship would only be a plus to the outsider.”
Richie and Disick first broke up after three years of dating in May.
“Life gets really weird when you’re living with someone and then your world just gets so small and you’re spending 24 hours a day with people,” Disick explained in a confessional during the episode. “I mean, you can look at the news and see that people are getting divorced left and right. And I definitely think it did create a problem between Sofia and I, and I think we kind of saw some things in each other that weren’t us being on the same page, I guess.”
Disick is now dating Amelia Hamlin and Richie was last linked to Matthew Morton.
Meanwhile, Kourtney is dating Travis Barker.
