Scott Disick reveals he split with Sofia Richie after she gave him Kourtney Kardashian ultimatum

Scott Disick shared the backstory of his breakup with Sofia Richie on Thursday’s season 20 premiere of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. 

The 37-year-old reality star revealed that he had ended things with Sofia, 22, his girlfriend of three years, after she gave him an ultimatum to choose between either her or his ex Kourtney Kardashian, 41.

Sofia moved out of Scott’s home during the coronavirus pandemic, which he’d partially attributed to her being tired of the ‘baggage’ that came with dating someone so close to his ex.

‘Life gets really weird when you’re living with someone, and your world just gets so small,’ Scott said to the cameras. ‘It definitely 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.’

Scott admitted that he’d told Sofia taking care of Kourtney was one of his priorities, and that made Sofia feel insecure, as though she wasn’t as important to him.

‘When you first get with someone, everyone is like making changes and oh I will do anything because I’m so happy and so in love and so excited but then when it sinks in and it becomes real life it’s a lot different,’ Scott told Kourtney.

He then wondered about his future with Kourtney. 

‘I don’t know,’ he said to his ex. ‘Are we just gonna grow old, just traveling the world with the kids, living one house down from each other, or together at one point?’

Kourtney and Scott split in 2015 but they remain close and co-parent their children Mason, 11, Penelope, eight and six-year-old Reign. 

Kourtney privately observed that it was Scott’s choice to prioritize what he wished, but that they should each make sacrifices for new relationships.

‘I appreciate that he prioritizes me,’ Kourtney said in a confessional. ‘But I think the biggest thing is that I want him to prioritize himself.’

Khloe Kardashian, 36, later asked Scott about his status with Sofia and he revealed they were going to give it another shot.  

He told Khloe that Sofia explained why she felt insecure and admitted that she liked to be the ‘center of attention’ in his life and was the ‘last person’ who received attention from him.  

‘I totally understand where she’s coming from and she totally deserves to have more attention,’ Scott said.

The Kardashians sympathized with Sofia. 

‘It’s gotta be a lot for somebody her age to be dating Scott, he has three kids and the drama of Kourtney,’ Kris Jenner said while relaxing poolside in Malibu with Corey Gamble, Khloe, Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner. ‘Over time, that would be hard to handle. I’ve thought about that. That would be hard for me. Most women wouldn’t put up with that.’

‘If I was in Sofia’s shoes I would be like, this is absolutely not normal and I can’t take it,’ Kim agreed. ‘In Kourtney’s shoes, I still think there should be a bit more structure. I love how open they are, but it’s as if they’re together, but no sexual anything.’ 

The Kardashians all felt that Scott was ‘hanging on’ to Kourtney, and sure enough things ‘took a turn’ for him after he gave Sofia one more chance on July Fourth.

‘She just started wanting to push Kourtney out,’ he told Kim and Khloé, adding that he’d then reiterated how important his children and the Kardashians were to him.

‘She was like, ”I don’t want to share you as a boyfriend with Kourtney”,’ Scott recounted. ‘And then she literally said with an ultimatum, ”You have to choose: Me or Kourtney”.’

‘It just became an impossible relationship to keep carrying on with,’ he concluded.

In a confessional, Scott added that he would never surrender his relationship with Kourtney saying ‘nothing in a million years will be worth what we have.’

He added that the ‘right person’ for either one of them would realize their relationship was a plus.   

Scott recently started dating Amelia Hamlin, 19.

Sofia was 19 when Scott began dating her and before that he was linked to Bella Thorne when she was also 19.
