Talentless
In 2018, Disick began his own clothing line, Talentless. He named his clothing line as "a big F-you to everybody in the world that basically said that anybody that was in the reality business 10, 15 years ago didn't have talent."

In 2011, during the season one finale of Kourtney and Kim Take New York, Disick purchased an engagement ring and planned to propose to Kardashian. However, when Disick asked her opinion on marriage, Kardashian responded that she did not want to change things when they were doing well, so Disick decided not to propose. Disick later stated, in 2013, that they were happy and said "I feel like I used to want to get married more than she did, and then, being that she was always so not interested, I've decided not to be."
