News that Kourtney Kardashian was involved with Travis Barker nearly broke the internet on Jan 25. The unlikely pair have reportedly been friends for years, and now things have turned romantic. There is no saying how serious their relationship is. There is one person who probably hopes things don’t get too involved, though. Scott Disick, the father of Kardashian’s three children, seems to be holding out hope that they will reconcile sometime during his fourth decade on earth. At least, that’s what he had to say a few years back.

In 2017, while Kardashian was still dating model, Younes Bendjima, Disick propositioned his three children’s mother. In an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, he asked her if they would get back together once Kardashian turned 40. She shot down the proposition, but Disick would not be deterred. The following year, Disick told Khloe Kardashian that he and his children’s mother had joked about getting together when they were “like 40.” According to Her, In the same conversation, he insisted he and Kardashian were always going to get back together.
