Kourtney Kardashian's Changed Man

Khloé, Kim and Kourtney Kardashian opened up to Life & Style about what caused the family’s rift with Scott Disick, the father of Kourtney’s baby—and how they all healed together. And though he has remained mum on the subject, Scott is now speaking out about how he's changed and can't wait for the "new life" on the way.

Kourtney admits that it was tense for a while and caused negativity in the family:

It was hard. There was so much negative energy. But this is the father of my baby — I needed everyone to just get over it. [The tension] was really intense for a few months. But I feel like if that stuff hadn’t happened, things wouldn’t feel as good as they do today.”

Kim says the family was confused when Scott came back on the scene. “When Scott came back into our lives, it was like Kourtney was asking us to forgive and forget everything she’d said about him. We were really confused. We had to readjust our feelings about him, and sometimes we had a tough time with it.” Scott’s hard-partying behavior had everyone concerned. “I think he was just trying to have as much fun as possible before the baby came,” Kim continues. “All he wanted to do was hang out with his friends. He needed to realize that Kourtney and the baby had to come first.”

Khloé adds that Scott's efforts didn't go unnoticed. “He just started trying so much harder. He put the crib together — no one asked him to. He’s not a manual labor kind of guy, but for him to put the crib and changing table together meant so much to Kourtney.”

And what does the man in question have so say? "The pregnancy was a blessing," Scott says. "It’s our time to be together and start sharing a new life." He goes on to say that he has changed. "I was a bit young when I met Kourtney. Now I know that I’ve grown as a person. I’m much more productive with my time and my life. Kourtney’s family knows I’ve changed. They know I treat her well and that I’m here for her in every way. Now the trust is all there."

So is Scott planning to propose? "Neither one of us wants Kourtney to walk down the aisle while she’s pregnant," Scott says. "We know we’ll be together forever, so getting a legal document isn’t the biggest deal in our life."
