Khloe Kardashian, Scott Disick have ‘connection’, but is it romantic?

Kardashian and Disick have never tried to hide their friendship, even letting the cameras film their goofy fun with a podcast during Khloe’s pregnancy. But the insider insisted that after Khloe and Tristan welcomed their daughter True into the world, Khloe’s and Scott’s friendship segued into a romance.

Disick allegedly initially gave Khloe a “shoulder to cry on, and things went from there.” The tabloid also described the relationship as the result of “genuine chemistry” between Kardashian and Disick.

The insider described Khloe and Scott as sharing “a connection that’s very real and extremely intense.” That comment isn’t a surprise to those who have watched their friendship blossom on KUWTK, but a “connection” isn’t the same as an affair.
