Kris Jenner praises 'amazing' Scott Disick despite his history of bad boy antics…but is still silent on own son Rob's engagement 

Scott Disick's penchant for partying, cavorting with other women and being an absent dad has been well documented on Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

But Kourtney Kardashian's mother Kris Jenner put all that aside as she raved about the father of three of her grandchildren.

The 60-year-old praised Scott's athletic abilities as she posted an image of him 'in his element' on a snowmobile during their family getaway to Vail, Colorado.

She even described him as an 'amazing athlete' despite the fact he appeared to be simply driving a vehicle.

Scott has continued to enjoy a tight relationship with the Kardashians, even after his split from Kourtney Kardashian in July.

The businessman entered rehab several months after their break-up, which he said he entered to primarily treat an addiction to sleeping medication.

'I went in for a lot of different reasons,' the father-of-three, who checked out of rehab in November, told People in March. 'My biggest thing was that I was very addicted to sleeping medication. And now, it's fine.'

'The truth is rehab did help me and now I'm just trying to be responsible,' he added. 

It seems Scott is still holding out hope that he could rekindle his romance with Kourtney and the mother of his three children, Mason, six, Penelope, three and Reign, one.

Speaking this week to Jennifer Finney Boylan on I Am Cait! he said: 'I've gone through things that have hurt me a ton.

'It's tough, I've made a lot of decisions that weren't great.' he said.

When asked by the college professor if he is trying to win Kourtney back, Scott replied 'Oh I don't know, I have no control over anybody else, other than myself'

'All I can do is just stay on the right path and if things fall into place and they're meant to be, I believe that they will be.'

Meanwhile, Kris has stayed silent on news of her son Rob Kardashian's engagement to Blac Chyna.
