  • Sofia Richie and Scott Disick just broke up after three years together.

  • Sofia didn't want her career to revolve around Scott, which created "tension" in their relationship.


ICYMI, Scott Disick and Sofia Richie are no longer a couple (*sobs*). It's been a good three(ish) years for these two, but it kinda seems like Sofia wants to use this time away from Scott to make a name for herself and focus on building a career without Scott's name attached. Apparently, sources are saying this desire played a part in her and Scott's decision to split.

According to Us Weekly, Sofia was feeling discontent that so much of her career revolved around Scott, and the fact that she just so happens to be Lionel Richie's daughter. “There’s always been a bit of tension with Sofia not wanting to be defined by her dad’s career or her relationship with Scott,” a source told the outlet. “She’s been trying to separate herself more from Scott career-wise as well and pave her own way.”

When Sofia and Scott's break up news hit the web yesterday, some sources really weren't all that surprised they decided to call quits on their relationship. “Sofia and Scott breaking up was only a matter of time. Scott isn’t the best version of himself right now and it has been a lot for Sofia,” a separate Us source explained, adding that Sofia is “sad about the situation, but trying to take care of herself.”

For what it's worth, it doesn't seem like there was any blowout argument that led to Scott and Sofia's split. According to E! News, “There wasn’t a fight or anything bad that happened between them.” Sofia just wants to “do her own thing” while Scott focuses on getting better.

E!'s source added:

“Sofia thinks Scott has a lot on his plate right now and thinks it’s best for them to be apart so he can focus on himself. She is only looking out for him and his best interest and it was primarily her decision for them to split. Sofia has been spending time with her family and has taken majority of her stuff out of Scott’s house.”

Of course, it's possible that Sofia and Scott could get back together (they did break up once in 2018), so...we'll just have to wait and see what happens.
