Penelope Disick Broke Down In Tears When Kourtney Kardashian Told Her Over The Phone That She And Travis Barker Had Gotten Engaged And It Caused A Ton Of Drama Behind-The-Scenes

Kourtney liked a few tweets slamming her family’s “awful decision” for making her kids feel like “outcasts” after everyone — including Travis’s three children — celebrated her engagement without them.

ICYMI: The latest episode of The Kardashians finally spilled all the behind-the-scenes details of Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker’s grand engagement!

Well now, thanks to the latest episode of The Kardashians, which aired on Hulu last night, we finally know exactly who was there and what went down on the big night — and it’s safe to say that things got pretty messy.

So, the episode begins with the Kar-Jenner bunch making their way from Calabasas to Santa Barbara for the engagement. Kris Jenner and her boyfriend, Corey Gamble, drive with Kim, while Kendall and Kylie travel together.

Khloé later joins the group alongside Tristan Thompson, with whom she’d recently rekindled her relationship after years of on-and-off dating. At present, the pair are no longer together following his paternity scandal that unfolded a few months later.

Close friends of the family Simon Huck and Phil Riportella also join the bunch in Santa Barbara, as do all of Travis’s kids.

“I feel like I’m living in a fairytale,” she says in a confessional. “I couldn’t have dreamed of anything more perfect. I’ve never in my whole life dreamt of getting married until Travis, and until this relationship.”

The now-engaged couple eventually make their way up to the hotel, where their loved ones congratulate them on their new status. In fact, Kris breaks down into tears as she expresses her joy over the engagement.

But while the family’s celebrations are well underway, it’s not long before Kourtney ponders how she should break the news to her three children — none of whom, of course, are present.

Soon enough, Kourtney sees that she’s missed a couple of calls from Penelope and heads into a separate room to ring her back.

Visibly worried, Kourtney says that she feels bad before elaborating in a confessional: “I think Penelope took it hard. I think it’s a big change for her, and even though she loves Travis I think she doesn’t know what [the engagement] means — you know, like, is that taking me away?”

Kourtney and Kim are then joined by the rest of the sisters, all of whom discuss Scott and the kids’ involvement at length. They note that the children may understandably feel as though their dad is being replaced by Travis, which may explain why Penelope was so upset. Khloé even compares the entire situation to their mom, Kris, remarrying after getting porced from the late Robert Kardashian Sr.

“Penelope’s sitting next to me, and me and Travis told her today that he really wanted her there but it just wasn’t decided on,” Kourtney tells Khloé over the phone.

Elsewhere, we also end up seeing Scott’s annoyance at the kids not being invited to the engagement. He tells Khloé: “They were upset. They didn’t understand why they were watching TikToks of his kids there and they weren’t there. Hopefully they’ll be invited to the wedding. Am I invited to the wedding?”

“Me personally, if I got engaged 15 minutes away, I would’ve just said someone just get in the car and drive my kids here. And [Penelope] would’ve been ecstatic,” he adds. “We’re acting as if the place was 10 hours away — I can get there in 55 minutes.”

Quoting one person who tweeted that “the kids should’ve been there regardless,” Kourt wrote: “FACTS.”

“Awful decision on Kris’ part to not have Kourtney’s kids at the proposal. Penelope sobbing on FaceTime broke my heart!” read one tweet.

“Kris & the sisters definitely should have invited Kourtney’s kids to her engagement. Hearing Penelope cry because your mom had to tell her on FaceTime is so heartbreaking. They definitely should’ve been invited so they felt included and not like outcasts,” read another.
