David Dee Duron is Kourtney Kardashian’s rumored new boyfriend. Rather different from the father of Kourtney kids, Duron is an evangelical Christian from a hard-practicing religious Louisiana family. Scott Disick is the dad to Kourtney’s children, Mason, 9, Penelope, 6, and Reign, 4. The couple split in 2015 after being together for close to ten years after being on-again-off-again since 2012. Speaking of twelve, that’s the age difference, in years, between Duron, 26, and Kourtney, 39.
Since then, Kourtney has been linked to stars such as Justin Bieber and actor Luka Sabbat. Kourtney’s longest relationship in the post-Disick age was with model Younes Bendjima until their split in August 2018.
US Weekly was the first to report that Kourtney had been seen out on the town in Hollywood with Duron. The pair was photographed together getting dinner at Nobu in Malibu on January 24. The magazine does not confirm that the couple is officially an item.
