Scott Disick, 37, and Sofia Richie, 21, are still ‘texting after their breakup’

The broke up this week after dating for three years. 

But exes Scott Disick and Sofia Richie have allegedly been ‘texting since their split’. 

Scott, 37, and Sofia, 21, called it quits earlier this week after after Scott’s recent stint in rehab, multiple outlets confirmed Wednesday.

Before the official breakup, the pair allegedly put their relationship on hold while Scott spent time at a treatment centre in Colorado to deal with past traumas, such as the death of his parents.  

A source told Us Weekly: ‘Scott and Sofia’s breakup is definitely a real breakup, but they have been staying in touch and texting since they split. 

‘Their friends think that there is a big chance they could get back together at some point.’

The daughter of musician Lionel Richie allegedly felt that Scott didn’t value her enough and was still in love with his ex, Kourtney Kardashian, 41. 

She also felt that Scott would always prioritise his family over her. The pair dated for nine years from 2006 to 2015 and share three children – Mason, 10, Penelope, seven, and Reign, five. 

‘Scott is always going to be in love with Kourtney, and that’s something Sofia has had to face since even before she got serious with him,’ a source told UsWeekly.  

They go on to say that the daughter of singer Lionel Richie realised she wasn’t going to be Scott’s priority.

‘It’s been an ongoing thing. It just became more apparent that his family was more of a priority than she was, and his family would be his main priority over anything and anyone.’ 

Sources also revealed that the coronavirus pandemic had put a strain on the relationship. 

They said: ‘The quarantine has put a spin on things for Scott. He’s always had issues, especially with addiction, and that’s always been a concern on the Kardashians’ end and Sofia and her family’s end. 

‘Sofia noticed that he wasn’t doing well and gave him an ultimatum, and in the end it seemed like Scott was more focused on Kourtney and his kids than her.’ 

Soon after news broke of the split, Scott shared a photo to Instagram of himself in Utah by a swimming pool. ‘Little water never hurt nobody,’ remarked the star.

Page Six added that his bad ways and his ex gave Sofia pause.

‘Scott had gone back to his old ways,’ the source said, ‘and Sofia got fed up.’

Scott recently celebrated his 37th birthday without Sofia, and instead was joined by Kourtney and their three children in Lake Powell, Utah.

But there’s no indication of a reconciliation between Scott and Kourtney, with a source telling UsWeekly that Scott has yet to prove himself to her after she gave him many chances over the years.

‘The fact that he is the father of their three kids keeps them connected forever. Kourtney wants the best for Scott and knows they’ve been through the wringer together. She lets him in — but at an arm’s length.’  

DailyMail.com revealed exclusively that Scott had checked into rehab on April 28 at the All Points North Lodge in Edwards, Colorado. 

The reality star was reportedly dealing with issues related to alcohol and cocaine use, but his lawyer Marty Singer disputed that characterisation to TMZ.

Shortly after, Kourtney seemed to reference drama in her life with a cryptic Instagram Stories post: ‘kinda tired of being OK with things im not okay with.’

Scott and Sofia began dating in the summer of 2017.  

He was pictured flirting with Sofia aboard a yacht in the South of France on May 24 for his 34th birthday getaway party.

By September 2017, it was reported that they were indeed dating, and were pictured in Miami posing in front of a cake that read: ‘Congratulations Scott and Sophia [sic].’
