It’s no secret Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick have one of the best co-parenting relationships in Hollywood. They work hard to make sure they’re raising their kids to the best of their ability, even though they’re not an item anymore. But it has taken them a lot of effort and patience to get there. So, how did they end up where they are right now after so many years together(ish)? Well, the timeline of Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick’s relationship is certainly a bit of a rollercoaster.
Kardashian and Disick were together for 12 years and, in that time, they lived quite a life. They had three kids, plenty of fun, and lots of drama. While the romantic relationship between them didn’t quite work out, they still have a solid connection. In an April 2019 episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, a spiritual healer in Bali told them they were soulmates. The reaction from both of them was pretty positive, especially Kardashian's.
"I normally don't like this type of stuff, but I'm really trying to connect and improve my relationships," Kardashian said. "I don't know what the definition of 'soulmate' is, but Scott and I, we're going to be in each others' lives forever. Like, we are soulmates in a sense. No matter what. Whether we're ever together again or not."
So, how did this soulmate connection form? You need to examine Kardashian and Disick’s relationship as a whole to fully understand. Let’s see how it all started:

Eventually, she decided to use Mason and their family’s well-being as leverage to help Disick understand the gravity of the situation.

Disick is dating Sofia Richie, while Kardashian was most recently linked to Luka Sabbat. She also dated Younes Bendjima for nearly two years. Beyond that, though, they frequently come together for the sake of their kids.
In a recent Q&A with each other for Kardashian’s new business Poosh, Disick explained why co-parenting is so important to them.
"I'm not gonna make our kids miss out on things just because we couldn't figure out how to be a couple," he said. "And by the way, I don't think people will be able to live their lives if they do it that way maybe, so it's not our [place] to tell other people how they wanna live."
These lifelong partners have definitely figured out a way to make things work for them and their kids, which is all that matters.
