Kardashian and Scott Disick have three children, and she ended their relationship in July. Bieber broke up with Selena Gomez previously. When Kourtney and Justin have been observed on dates, Bieber is clearly trying to make a good impression on the new older woman in his life, an insider told Us .
“[Justin] was such a gentleman and so nice and respectful,” added that insider. “He was definitely trying to impress Kourtney and act more mature.”
Bieber has even served as the baby-sitter for those three children parented by Kardashian and Disick. Adding to his inner edge with the Keeping Up With the Kardashians clan, Kris Jenner is dating Corey Gamble, who is Justin’s pal and former tour manager.
But while Bieber is enjoying his flirtation with Kourtney, Justin’s ex Selena Gomez is irate, according to Hollywood Life ‘s insider.
At 23, Selena is stunned that her 21-year-old former boyfriend has chosen the 36-year-old Kourtney for his rebound romance. Moreover, Gomez is looking back on past and recognizing that Justin was enamored with Kardashian while he was still dating Selena, claims Hollywood Life’ssource.
“Selena can’t seem to get past the fact that Justin is dating Kourtney Kardashian. She talks about it all the time. At first she was shocked and didn’t believe it, but then she started to think about it and realized the writing was always on the wall. He’s always had a thing for older women.”
That same source also revealed that when it comes to Kardashian women, Justin rated Kourtney on top. But Selena viewed it as a boyish crush, never imagining that it would turn into a real romance.
Meanwhile, Scott Disickis having his own problems coping with the affair between the pop idol and his baby mama, according to a source cited by Ace Showbiz.
The insider claims that Scott chose to get back at Justin by giving a gift of gold-plated poinsettias to Selena. In addition, Disick invited Gomez to his Las Vegas party bash he’s hosting on New Year’s Eve.
“Scott’s really gunning for Selena. He won’t stop until he’s victorious in one way or another,” added the insider cited by Ace Showbiz . “She’s yet to respond and Scott’s not sure if she’s received his gift. But he’s certain that lady Gomez can’t resist his charm.”
However, a different report quoted other insiders describing those rumors about Disick and Selena as fiction rather than fact.
