While Scott Disick and Kourtney Kardashian have been exes for several years now, he’s maintained a closeness with the Kardashian-Jenner family--not only in his parenting partnership with Kourtney, but also in his personal friendship with Khloé. In fact, Khloé and Disick are so close that some fans have suggested that they’re actually in a secret relationship of some kind, or have been in the past. Recently, Khloé responded to these accusations by seemingly refuting them.

On a recent Instagram post celebrating Disick’s birthday, a number of fans left comments implying a relationship between the two, according to Cosmopolitan. One commenter, for example, said, “What is happening here? I sense chemistry,” while another said, “Damn, why ya'll look so good together,” evidently buying into the persistent rumor of an affair between the pair.

Other commenters, however, took to Khloé’s defense, with one saying, “This is his SISTER [sic] the only family besides his children that he has. Just because two people are close doesn’t mean that they’ve [hooked up] before.” Another commenter, according to Cosmopolitan, implored fans to, “stop making something from nothing, please…it’s disrespectful to everyone involved.”

Khloé herself responded to both of these comments, the former with three pink heart emojis and the latter with a kissing emoji. Though she did not formally or explicitly comment on the validity of the rumors, her responses suggest that she would deny the accusations, and is happy fans are defending her.

Although Khloé and Scott have been flirty from time to time, it's difficult to imagine them actually being anything more than friends--especially when Disick is already involved with Sofia Richie. We’ll be keeping a close eye on this one.
