Well, the crossover reality TV fans have been waiting for is finally here... just not in the way we hoped. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Keeping Up with the Kardashians have overlapped in the past thanks to the friendship between Kyle Richards and Kris Jenner. And while there have been calls for Jenner to become a Housewife now that KUWTK is over, unfortunately, it's another cast member who is infiltrating Beverly Hills. Scott Disick is dating Lisa Rinna's daughter, Amelia Hamlin, and the relationship continues to be a subplot on the current season of RHOBH.

The thing is, we don’t see Hamlin and Disick together, we just hear about them from Rinna and her co-stars. "My daughter is linked to a guy named Scott Disick,” Rinna says in the June 30 episode. Girardi replies, "So there's something to it?" Rinna reluctantly says, "Yes."
Other cast members went on to weigh in on the situation, including Hamlin’s father, Harry Hamlin. He had a unique take on the couple’s large age gap, thanks to his own former relationship with a woman 15 years his senior.
Of course, RHOBH was filmed months ago, so are Disick and Hamlin still "linked"? How long has all of this been going on? And what does Rinna think of her 20-year-old daughter dating a 38-year-old? The following timeline answers all.
October 2020: Scott & Amelia Are Spotted Together
In October 2020, Us Weekly reported that Disick and Hamlin arrived at a Halloween party together. There wasn't much information at the time, but if you care to know, Scott was dressed as Ace Ventura and Amelia wore a candy bra, underwear, a pink wig, and white go-go boots.
November 2021: Instagram Official?
On Thanksgiving, as reported by Page Six, Hamlin posted a photo of herself, Disick, and another friend on her Instagram Story and captioned it, "Thankful 4 these PPL." At that point, they had been photographed hanging out together and having dinner, but neither had directly confirmed they were together.

According to Cosmo, in a post on her Instagram Story in December, Hamlin wrote, "Ppl are extra weird and judgmental these days...people can embrace themselves however they feel fit for them at that moment in time. People grow. People learn to love themselves more and more." It was seen as potentially being in reference to her being judged for dating Disick.

June 2021: Scott Makes An Awkward Comment
During the KUWTK reunion special, Disick jokingly commented on dating younger women. In addition to dating Hamlin, who is 18 years his junior, he previously dated Sofia Richie, who is currently 22. "Everybody gets this wrong, that I look for young girls," he said. "I don't go out looking for young girls. They happen to be attracted to me, because I look young."
And that brings us to today with Disick and Hamlin still together, and about to face even more scrutiny and comments — from viewers and, apparently, Housewives — as their relationship is explored further on reality TV.
Summer 2021: Amelia & Scott Are Talked About on RHOBH
So far, Hamlin and Disick’s relationship has been shown primarily through Rinna and her friends talking about them. The only time we actually see Hamlin is when she video chats with her mom and says she’s going somewhere with her “friend Scott.”
Then there’s the conversation between Girardi and Rinna, in which Rinna confirms the relationship is real and doesn’t sound all that thrilled about it. Later in the same episode, Kyle blurts out during a cocktail party, “He's too damn old and he's got three kids!" Meanwhile, Dorit Kemsley doesn’t know how to react and just says, “Mazel tov?”

In the July 7 episode, Harry Hamlin shares his opinion. “The issue that’s the most enduring is the age difference, which to me is odd. But then again, every time I think about it, I think about myself and Ursula Andress, and I was [15] years younger than she when we had Dimitri. So, I can’t really complain, right?” Harry shares a 41-year-old son with now-85-year-old actor Andress.
Rinna also shares in the same episode that her mother thought that Hamlin was engaged to Disick because of a tabloid she saw in the grocery store.
