Back in November, we covered a story from In Touch that claimed that Kourtney Kardashian and her social-climbing sociopath baby daddy, Scott Disick were going to get married in order to sell the coverage rights and cash in with their own reality show. Some of you said you doubted that story because of the dubious source, and you could have been right at the time. Only now it’s popping up again on AOL’s Popeater, and on the covers of Life & Style and OK!, which all have “exclusives” (ha!) that Kourtney is engaged.

Spoilers for Kourtney and Kim take NY (if you care)
Popeater, OK! and Life & Style claim that Scott proposed to Kourtney and that it’s going to be aired on the finale episode of that Kourtney and Kim Take NY show, (which I have to admit to never watching). Then Scott and Kourtney hope to get their own show, similar to the way that Khloe parlayed her relationship with Lamar Odom into quick money for her and the family.

Can’t get enough of the Kardashian clan on the small screen? Well if the answer is “yes,” then you are in luck! Kourtney K. and boyfriend Scott Disick are the latest members of the family to be in talks to get their own spinoff show for E!, and sources tell me it will revolve around their still-secret wedding plans.

“The last episode of ‘Kourtney and Kim Take New York’ is Scott proposing,” an insider tells me. “Then just like sister Khloe and Lamar, Kourtney and Scott will not only get their own show but also a wedding. It’s going to be TV gold.”

Mom Kris Jenner, who is the genius behind the whole Kardashian phenomenon, is currently conceptualizing a show with E! that will follow Kourtney and Scott on the path to a wedding. I’m told it will be complete with outrageous wedding plans, chaos, dresses and, of course, Scott being a groomzilla.

The family already has ‘Keeping up with the Kardashians,’ ‘Kim and Kourtney Take New York, ‘Khloe and Lamar’ and soon, Scott and Kourtney’s untitled show. This will make them arguably [one] of the most prolific TV franchises of all time.

“What is going to make this new show a monster hit is that Scott and Kourtney are actually happier than ever,” an insider tells me. “Heading toward the alter [sic] is the next step for them with or without the cameras.”

Life and Style also has an “exclusive” that Scott proposed to Kourtney on the finale, and just sent us an announcement that she’s engaged. They quote an insider who says “The season finale, which has already been filmed, ends with Scott proposing and Kourtney accepting. It’s been really hard for them to keep it quiet. She’s so excited for the finale to air this April so she can finally go out in public with her ring on. She wears it at home all the time.”

And this is similarly an “exclusive” on OK! Magazine’s cover. I skimmed the article and it basically says that they’re engaged, and that Scott has changed. He’s supposedly “done a 180” after taking anger management classes and is trying to say sober. They give the wedding date as sometime this year.

This seems like the logical next step for the Kardashian girls. Kim is probably seething with jealousy, since she hasn’t been able to get a guy on the hook long enough to join the family business. (You know her ‘wedding news’ on the cover of Life & Style is about the same as her ‘baby news’ – someday.) Maybe she likes it that way though and doesn’t want a man stealing her thunder.

Keep in mind that once Kourtney and Scott get their own reality show there are two other Kardashian daughters, Kendall, 15, and Kylie, 13, who could potentially carry on the family name. Kris has already said she’s open to it. I imagine her naming her daughters with alliterative names planning for their future in entertainment.
