What these three socialites have may appear unconventional to the eyes of skeptics and more traditional individuals but the 21-year-old celebrity doesn’t care. Speaking to Cosmopolitan, Richie said that her relationship with Disick makes her happy. According to her, it may appear weird but what others think don’t bother her because she doesn’t care in the first place.

In her defense, she said during the interview, that she won’t let someone from the middle of nowhere ruin that happiness.

There were a few times when Richie was featured in the reality show “Keeping Up With The Kardashians.” Not only that, she was seen hanging out with Disick and Kardashian [Kourtney], whom “Lord Disick” shares three children with —Mason Dash, 10, Penelope Scotland, 7, and Reign Aston, 5.

Does Richie have any issues with that? Apparently not.

What’s her secret for keeping it cool with Disick’s ex? Simply be nice. She said that there was no reason not to be nice.

In any relationship (filial, romantic or platonic), it always takes two to tango. Efforts from all the parties concerned is of vital importance to make it work. That said, it isn’t only Richie who makes the effort to maintain the cordial relationship with Disick’s ex. In fact, Kardashian did her part too.

Remember that vacation to Finland she planned to have with her three kids and Disick? Richie was invited to come along too. Daily Mail shared a few clips of Kardashian talking to her sister Khloe about the vacation. She eventually told her younger sister that she asked Disick if he’d like to bring Richie.

Kardashian told the “Revenge Body” host that Disick and Richie did not make her feel left out and it was nice. Otherwise, she would not go nor invite Richie.

When Richie and Disick started going out publicly, their relationship met a lot of criticism. To begin with, they have a 15-year gap. At the same time, Disick had this reputation of being spoiled and irresponsible. In the said interview with Cosmopolitan Magazine for its April issue, Richie clarified that her relationship with Lord Disick was drama-free.

Instead of dwelling on the negativity thrown at her —them— Richie is focusing more on her career growth. It has been reported that Richie may no longer make a cameo role in the upcoming episodes of “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” because she wanted to try a new career path, which includes launching her bikini line into a clothing collection, beauty company and starting a YouTube channel, E! News reported. She is considering the path of acting too.
