KUWTK: Why Does Scott Disick Always Look So Miserable
Scott Disick from Keeping Up With the Kardashians isn't one to look overjoyed in photographs, even while out and about with his new love interest, model Amelia Hamlin. But after taking into consideration all that he's been through these past few years, the 37-year-old's unhappy demeanor is better understood.
For starters, Scott's reality renovation show, Flip It Like Disick, on E! was not the second coming of KUWTK. The series premiered in August 2019 with extremely low ratings and has yet to be picked up for season two. Then, there's Disick's rollercoaster of relationships, which seem to begin and end at the speed of light. His on-again, off-again girlfriend of three years, Sophia Richie, broke up with him in September because she didn't "want to be a stepmom at 22." Disick shares three children with ex Kourtney Kardashian. Ever since, Disick has been linked to a number of women, including model Bella Banos and two mystery blondes. Scott Disick is now officially dating Amelia Hamlin, the 19-year-old daughter of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Rinna and actor Harry Hamlin.
Many fans are criticizing Disick for the massive age gap between himself and Hamlin. Is it really true love, or are their deeper emotions at play? Earlier this year, Disick checked himself into a rehab facility in Colorado. According to In Touch, this was to address the trauma of losing both parents earlier than anticipated. Bonnie Disick died in October 2013 after battling an undisclosed illness. Jeffrey Disick's death followed a mere three months later. Though it has been several years since his parents' passing, Disick is still trying to heal and come to terms with the devastating loss. "Losing my parents is not an easy subject for me to talk about. It puts me in a very vulnerable place, to remember them and think about them," he said. "It's definitely not easy, the fact that I don't have my parents here." While Disick has previously gone to rehab for drug addiction, this was the first time he checked himself in to deal with his emotions. Kourtney, who has been a support system for Disick, admitted she was surprised. "I am caught a little off guard because for the first time, Scott isn't being asked to go away. He isn't having an issue with alcohol or drugs. It's his idea so it feels really different."
As he continues to mourn and work through the loss of his parents, Disick is making sure their memory lives on through his children. Over the summer, after returning home from rehab, he showed his oldest son, Reign, his favorite photos of Bonnie and Jeffrey. The scene appeared as a bonus clip on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, season 18. "I don't think I was really ready to talk about my family, but now I think the more I talk about my parents, the more my kids will feel connected to them and remember them. That's the only way that they're gonna ever feel that connection."
Although Disick has gotten heat for his latest relationship with Hamlin, maybe this will be the one that sticks. Perhaps he isn't just trying to fill a void. Disick received Kourtney's blessing for the relationship, who approves of any romance that makes him a better father. He's also opening up more than ever before about his beloved parents, a release that's bound to feel cathartic after six years.
