On Monday, news of the Keeping Up With The Kardashians couple's alleged breakup hit the web, and now, it is being reported that Disick has been hiding out in an apparent drinking binge after a recent relapse.

"He's in a classic shame spiral right now. He knows he's screwing up, and he knows what he needs to do," a source close to Disick told PEOPLE Magazine over the weekend. "He has people telling him to go home and work things out, to stop this behavior, to repent and to move forward. But he's not doing it. He's operating out of fear and shame right now. He's not seeing things clearly."

Kardashian and Disick had been together for nine years, and share three children together, Mason, 5, Penelope, who will be 3 on Wednesday, and son Reign, 6 months.

"Kourtney has always taken Scott back and been by his side, but now with three kids it has gotten old," a source told E! News on Monday. "Kourtney has to do what's best for the kids."

"Scott has been running around saying he's single," added the source. "Kourtney dumped him after she saw the pics [in Monte Carlo] and he hasn't been home after a month-long party binge."

PEOPLE Magazine also reported Kardashian has been out of touch with Disick "for some time."
