Tensions between Scott Disick and The Kardashians were heightened after he split from Kourtney Kardashian in 2015. Recently, Scott has reportedly been "iced" out of the Kardashian-Jenner family events and has been appearing on their reality show less and less. Kris Jenner has defended her daughter's former partner and explained that despite their rocky relationship over the years, she would never exclude him from the family.

Kourtney dated Scott on and off between 2005 and 2015, appearing in every season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians and a number of spin-off series involving the family. Despite years of ups and downs, Kourtney and Scott finally split for good in 2015 when photos of Scott partying with another woman surfaced alongside a range of problems in connection to Scott's alcohol issues.

A source told Entertainment Tonight that Scott and Kourtney "are not as friendly as they used to be." The insider told the outlet: "He tries to be respectful and give her space, while also being there for her and the family."

When it was reported by ScreenRant that Scott Disick had been excluded from Kardashian-Jenners trips, Kris denied the rumors in a 2022 Instagram comment.

In a People Magazine article, the outlet reports that the momager responded to an Instagram post by Paper Magazine claiming Scott had been "excommunicated" from the famous family.

  • Kourtney had previously expressed that she felt Scott "got away with bad behavior" because of his closeness to the family.

Scott will NEVER be excommunicated from our family….

"He's the father of my grandchildren and a special part of our family…." Kris's Instagram comment read. The original post claimed that Scott didn't spend as much time with the famous family since Kourtney married Travis Barker.

In May 2016, not long after Scott and Kourtney broke up, Kris wrote a heartfelt message to Scott on his birthday. "I am so blessed to be able to call you my son," she shared on her Facebook.

The Kardashians faced criticism from fans of their reality show after not inviting Scott to their Easter celebrations in 2023 despite Khloé's ex, Tristan Thompson, being in attendance. "Scott lives in the same gated community, but he does not get the same privileges that Tristan does when it comes to co-parenting," a source close to the family told The Mirror.

[Scott's] rarely invited out with Kourtney and the kids, and he doesn't go on a lot of these family outings now that Travis is on the scene. Scott has basically been replaced.

As time went on, and they broke up, things healed between Scott and the family.

In August 2022, Kris Jenner opened up about how much Scott meant to her as a family. "I love Scott ... And Scott will always be a part of our family. He's the father of my grandchildren and he's just ... my kid," she said on a 2023 episode of The Kardashians.

Has Scott Disick Been Excluded From The Kardashian Family?

Scott Disick was always an integral part of the Kardashian family, no matter the issues they were going through in their relationship. Since their split and Kourtney Kardashian married Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker, Scott has struggled to find his place within the Kardashian-Jenners clan.

Scott admitted he felt left out in the first season of Hulu's The Kardashians, which premiered when Kourtney and Travis were engaged. The family threw a barbecue and decided not to invite Kourtney's former partner, with whom she shares three children.

"Feeling left out and not being told anything is super hurtful, especially when I don't have another family to go to," Scott confessed on the reality show. He added that moving on from having romantic feelings for Kourtney was "probably one of the most difficult things in my life."

Kourtney was left heartbroken in July 2024 when her eldest son, Mason, chose to shun the annual family vacation and stay with his father. There were rumors that the kids were struggling to vacation with Travis and Kourtney instead of her father. "Scott knows that Mason didn't want to go on vacation with his mom because of Travis," a source told The Mirror.

Kim Kardashian stood up for her sister's former partner on the show and empathized that it must be difficult for Scott to be excluded from family get-togethers. As reported in the Daily Mail, Kim said "It's everything he was always afraid of: 'I don't have any family, you're my only family,' and now it's coming true."

Kourtney was less sympathetic to his exclusion from the event. "Scott and I have been broken up for seven years and I gave him 10 years before that. So why is everyone making such a big deal about this? Let's just not hate on a girl who finally knows what she deserves."

"I'd rather be around [Kourtney and Barker] and be around my family than not at all," he told Khloé on an episode of The Kardashians in 2022 after Kourtney explained to him that the family was trying to protect his feelings by not inviting him to family events.
