We’ve already seen Scott Disick freak out over Kourtney Kardashian dating, and we’ve heard reports of Kourtney’s weariness at Scott Disick’s self-destructive spiral.
But now, Scott seems to have settled — at least for the moment — on dating Sofia Richie. Things are looking serious, even.
So what does Kourtney think of this new development?
Let’s remember that, though the two of them dating has been a recent turn of events, Scott and Sofia were spotted together in Cannes.
That was back in May.
So they didn’t just meet and immediately fall into each other’s arms … or a bed … to start this relationship.
(Which would normally be fine, but given Scott’s pattern of behavior, a change is a good thing)
So maybe there’s a little more to this than the fact that Sofia Richie is a 19-year-old model and Scott Disick has spent a good portion of 2017 chasing young women who fit that description left and right.
Despite their 15 year age difference, the two do look cute together.
But what does Kourtney think of all of this?
TMZ reports that their sources close to the Kardashians say that Kourtney is totally fine with Scott dating Sofia.
For one thing, Kourtney’s totally moved on so she’s not going to wig out over Scott seeming to do the same.
For another, it reportedly makes Kourtney happy that Scott’s finally accepting reality and starting to move on. It’s healthy and it might, you know, prevent him from spiraling out of control again.
Apparently, Sofia’s relationship with Scott hasn’t disrupted the co-parenting arrangement.
In fact, since Kourtney demanded Scott sober up if he wanted to see their kids, it looks like Sofia is actually helping to make him a better dad by grounding him enough that he can be around for his kids.
And maybe Kourtney’s at peace about the age difference since Sofia is an adult and also since Kourtney herself arguably “robbed the cradle” a little when she started dating Younes Bendjima.
Also, it’s pretty clear that Sofia and Scott can’t keep their hands off of each other.
That was snapped of the two showing some PDA on a private plane.
(Yes, it’s a private plane — but it’s still PDA if it ends up on social media. Especially if it’s in front of people … like, say, the friend who snapped this pic)
If they’re this crazy about each other, it’s no wonder that they went ahead and made their relationship Instagram official last month.
Since everybody already knew, there’s no sense in keeping it a “secret” any longer than that, right?
Now they’re free to kiss in public whether they’re on jet skis or on a plane. Sofia can reportedly call Scott her “boyfriend.”
You know, like regular couples do. Give or take the private plane.
Look, we’re as leery of the “she makes him a better man” narrative as everyone else.
One, everybody’s responsible for their own adult behavior.
Two, there are way too many women who think that they have to “fix” guys and that leads them to date men who are walking disasters and to spend so much time and energy trying to “fix” them when they should have higher standards.
But it’s good to know that Kourtney’s at peace with it.
We cannot say the same for Sofia Richie’s father, though.
Lionel Richie is “scared to death” that Sofie is dating Scott — and this was the guy who more or less declined to comment when Sofia was dating Bieber. So this relationship does not have Sofia’s father’s approval.
You can’t have it all.
