What was the reason for Scott Disick's absence from the Kardashian Easter celebration?

Despite his absence from the Easter celebration with his children at Kris Jenner's Palm Springs estate, Scott Disick and the Kardashian-Jenner matriarch share a close bond, according to an insider exclusively telling Life & Style.

"Despite the ups and downs he's had with the family over the years, Kris has maintained a solid relationship with Scott," the source says. "She's always had a soft spot for Scott. He's like another son to her and makes sure he's included."

Kourtney Kardashian and her three children with Scott – Mason, 13, Penelope, 10, and Reign, 8 – spent the April 8 weekend with their cousins, which family members documented via Instagram photos and videos. They received personalized Easter buckets filled with expensive goods, including Kylie Jenner's daughter Stormi Webster's Prada purse.

While Kourtney's husband, Travis Barker, was not seen in the photos she shared, his presence was definitely felt. She posted a photo of Reign in the passenger’s seat of the couple’s vintage orange Chevy Blazer. Kourtney also posed with purple tulips on a sofa, wearing only a pinstripe shirt and no pants, and shared a picture of a place setting for two at the family's dining table for Easter brunch, indicating Travis may have been with her.

Since Kourtney and Travis married in May 2022, Scott has been less present at Kardashian family events. He attends parties related to the former couple's children, but Travis makes sure to keep his distance. The Blink-182 drummer seemingly wasn't at Mason's birthday party on December 17, 2022, due to "tension" between the two men, according to another source from Life & Style at the time.

"Kourtney has all but cut off contact with Scott since marrying Travis, as he wasn't comfortable with some of Scott's actions," the source said of the pair's strained relationship. "He feels like Scott has taken advantage of Kourt's easygoing nature and hasn't shown up as a parent the way he should have."

The insider added that Kourtney is "happy to co-parent with Scott – but that's where she draws the line."
