Kim Kardashian Explained Why She And Tristan Thompson Are So Close Despite His...

When he saw me struggling with my kids, he stepped up. He started showing up to the games, he picks Saint up, takes him to dinner,” Kim said of Tristan.

Khloé and Tristan dated on and off between 2016 and 2021, and welcomed their first daughter, True, in 2018. He was caught cheating on her numerous times throughout their turbulent relationship — once being with her then-close family friend, Jordyn Woods — and has subsequently faced heaps of backlash for his actions.While Khloé initially decided to forgive Tristan and rekindle their romance, he went on to secretly father another child outside of their relationship in 2021. What’s more, he and Khloé were quietly engaged and preparing to welcome their second child via surrogate at the time.

The news of Tristan’s paternity scandal came to light when the mother of his child, Maralee Nichols, sued him for pregnancy and child-related expenses in December 2021. Khloé ended up finding out about the court case “with the rest of the world” after legal documents leaked online, and Hulu series The Kardashians documented the very moment Kim found out about the devastating news.
