Kris Jenner has addressed ongoing speculation that Scott Disick has been 'excommunicated' by the Kardashian clan.
The Keeping Up With The Kardashian star, 66, responded to the rumours after a close friend of the famous family claimed that Kourtney Kardashian's priorities now lie with her new husband, Travis Barker, after the pair tied the knot earlier this year.
Before Kourtney, 43, fell head over heels for long-time friend and Blink-182 drummer Travis, 46, she enjoyed an 11-year relationship with ex-partner, Scott, 39.
However, since getting married to Travis, eagle-eyed fans have noticed that Scott is nowhere to be seen around the Kardashian-Jenner clan, having previously been a huge part of their family - even after his shock split with Kourtney in 2015.
Scott, who shares kids Mason, 12, Penelope, 10, and Reign, 7, with the eldest Kardashian sister, often appeared in Kourtney's sisters' social media posts, as well as their reality TV show - but in recent months, it appears as though the reality TV star has drifted from the famous family.
After one of Scott's close friends claimed to Page Six that he was 'kind of excommunicated' by the Kardashians, momager Kris hit back, insisting that Scott will always be apart of her family.
"Scott will NEVER be excommunicated from our family," she insisted.
“He’s the father of my grandchildren and a special part of our family. We love him and that is not true!” she added.
Kris' defiant comments come after Scott was recently romantically linked to Kimberly Stewart.
Scott, 39, was seen holding hands with Kimberly, the daughter of singer Rod Stewart and actress Alana Stewart, after the pair enjoyed a romantic dinner date.
The reality TV star walked hand-in-hand with Kimberly, 42, as they left Girgio Baldi in Santa Monica last Sunday, seemingly confirming their romance.
Rumours had surrounded the pair for weeks and it seems Scott has now moved on from his infamous age gap relationships.
Scott seems to have distanced himself from the ongoing theme of his past relationships, which have seen him date much younger women.
Following his decade-long relationship with Kourtney, Scott dated high-profile young women such as Sofia Richie, now 23, and Amelia Hamlin, now 20, who were both 19 when they first went out with Scott.
Bella Thorne, now 24, was also 19 when the pair started their short-lived fling.
