Scott Disick has opened up about his love life, claiming he dates women half his age simply because "they're attracted" to him.

The 38-year-old Keeping Up With The Kardashians star - who shares three kids with Kourtney - has come under fire for repeatedly dating 19-year-old girls.

The entrepreneur famously dated Lionel Richie's daughter Sofia Richie for three years, striking up a romance when she was just 19, marking a significant 16-year age difference.

After the pair parted ways, he began dating Harry Hamlin's daughter Amelia Hamlin, now 20, who was just 19 years old when the pair began dating.

But despite the staggering age gap between Scott and his love interests, the father-of-three claims he doesn't "look for young girls".

During Part 2 of the Kardashians Reunion, host Andy Cohen quizzed Scott on his relationships.

"Everybody gets this wrong, that I look for young girls," Scott said, per Independent. "I don't go out looking for young girls, they happen to be attracted to me because I look young. That's what I'm telling myself."

Andy then switched gears, bringing up Scott's past battle with substance abuse.

When Andy asked Scott about how he felt about being open about his struggles on the reality show, he said: "It wasn't anything I could hide.

"Eventually, I realized that this obviously is not giving me what I want and a lot of things that hurt me in my life were from drinking and these things I can't really take back."

He continued: "Now, I'm just trying to be the best guy I can be and a good dad and things like that and make up for lost time," added Scott, who shares kids Mason, 11, Penelope, eight, and Reign, six, with Kourtney.

"I do regret the person that I was for a long time to Kourtney, just everybody, I wasn't the best guy," he added.

Scott went on to reveal his thoughts on how he feels about his children someday watching his struggles play out on the show.

"I'm gonna explain to them everything," he said. "I've talked to Mason a little bit about things, but not deeply. I don't think any of them have any idea of the struggles that I've had but I plan to tell them because I didn't have that growing up and I wanna make sure they hear everything and tell them like, 'You can go this route but I promise you it's not gonna end up anywhere good. I did it.' So I have that to give to them."

Scott and Kourtney were then asked whether the former would "have a shot" with his ex if he had maintained his sobriety.

Scott believed he would, to which Kourt agreed. "Yeah, probably," she added. The moment caught Kylie Jenner by surprise, who couldn't hide her emotional reaction to the conversation. "Sorry, this is just so deep," she said.
