News Presentation. “Just when I think we’ve worked through something, and we’re finally moving forward, a rerun will be on, and I’ll be upstairs, and she’ll call me,” he continues. “Like, ‘Hey, so I kinda forgot to say I hated you for this one other thing.’ And I’m like, ‘What? I have to relive this again?'” These lovebirds have been together since 2006. And how is their relationship going now? I would say we’re decently happy,” Disick tells Seacrest. And what about the wedding bells? “I think if it’s not broke, don’t fix it. You know what I mean?” he said. “I feel like I used to want to get married more than she did. And then, being that she was always so not interested, I’ve decided not to be.” Kardashian and Disck are parents of son Mason, 3, an daughter Penelope, 9 months.
