Khloé Kardashian and Tristan Thompson’s relationship has been full of drama from the
start, so we’re looking back at their whirlwind romance from rumors, to infidelity, and even
starting their own family!
Let’s get into it!
Back in 2016, we first got wind of Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson’s relationship.
At the time, Tristan was expecting his first child with Jordan Craig.
Though no one has confirmed that Tristan met Khloe while he was still with Jordan, the
timeline seems to speculate otherwise.
In October of that year, the dating rumors became real when a source revealed Khloe was,
“Spending a lot of time in Cleveland with Tristan”
They celebrated Labor Day together that year in Mexico, hung out with Kardashian matriarch
Kris Jenner, and got some serious PDA in during a Drake concert in LA.
Later that month they became Insta-official, dressing as Storm and Black Panther for Halloween
and captioning the snapshot with a heart emoji
By March 2017, it was obvious that they were in it for real when Tristan appeared on the
season 13 premiere of Keeping Up With The Kardashians and attended a Kanye West concert
with the Kardashian clan
In April, Khloe was getting pretty candid about wanting to marry Tristan and have his
babies, she revealed to ES Magazine, “He already is a father and I know for a fact
that he would be an impeccable father”
People confirmed in September of 2017 that Tristan and Khloe were house hunting and expecting
a baby, the source shared, “Yes, Khloe and Tristan are expecting and they are absolutely
thrilled” they went on to share “this is something Khloe has wanted for years and
years and yet it’s more than that: she didn’t want it unless it was in the right relationship
for it.”
Khloe put the baby rumors to rest via Instagram in December of 2017, posting quote, “My
greatest dream realized!
We are having a baby!”
And everything seemed to be going well, but things took a turn when Tristan was seen cozying
up to a girl at a Manhattan bar, and they got worse when a video saw the same girl entering
a hotel with Tristan at around 5am…
And to make matters worse, an insider then shared with People that “Tristan has been
consistently cheating on Khloe.”
The source added, “he’s a serial cheater and that there will be more women to come
out of the woodwork.”
Then as Khloe was literally about to give birth, TMZ released a video in April 2018
of Tristan cheating on Khloe while she was pregnant, with not one but two women.
But the drama was interrupted as the couple welcomed baby True, with an insider explained
to People that “everyone is focused on what’s best for their baby girl,” adding “Khloe
is being the bigger person and letting Tristan bond with their baby”
2019 proved to be rocky for the pair, as another scandal broke when TMZ reported that Tristan
had cheated on Khloe with Kylie Jenner’s best friend at the time, Jordyn Woods.
In March, Jordyn decided to tell her side of the story on Red Table Talk revealing that
she was “not a home wrecker” and confessed that Tristan had kissed her.
And things got super heated when Khloe took to twitter to call Jordyn out, “Why are
you lying @jordynwoods ?? If you’re going to try and save yourself
by going public, INSTEAD OF CALLING ME PRIVATELY TO APOLOGIZE FIRST, at least be HONEST about
your story.
BTW, You ARE the reason my family broke up!”
Khloe then followed up with another tweet, blaming Tristan as well, “Tristan is equally
to blame but Tristan is the father of my child.”
But, they were somehow able to make it over that hurdle since by Kris’ annual Christmas
party both Tristan and Khloe were in attendance, and by February of 2020 it was announced via
a source to People that the couple was officially back together
And throughout 2020, Tristan Khloe and True spent quarantine time together.
And in June 2021 Khloe shared that they were trying to have another baby, revealing during
the reunion special that she’d tried surrogacy in hopes of welcoming a new baby with Tristan
but it wasn’t long until the couple was back in splitsville
This time with Tristan clearly trying to win Khloe back, and posting a birthday theme Instagram
post for Khloe, writing, “"Your love and spirit is contagious to all who've met you.
Thank you for always being there for me and putting our family first.
I love you so much.
Have an amazing day.
❤️❤️"
From there it looked like the couple was focused on co-parenting True and putting their drama
behind them.
But, in December 2021 things took a shocking turn when it was revealed that Tristan was
being sued for child support by Maralee Nichols and claimed she’d hooked up with Tristan
while he was still with Khloe.
On January 3rd of this year, Tristan took to I-G to admit that he had in fact fathered
Maralee’s child.
Tristan captioned the post, writing, "Today, paternity test results reveal that I fathered
a child with Maralee Nichols.
I take full responsibility for my actions.”
He went on to add “Now that paternity has been established I look forward to amicably
raising our son."I sincerely apologize to everyone I've hurt or disappointed throughout
this ordeal both publicly and privately”
Tristan didn’t stop there.
He went on to issue an apology to Khloe as well, “Khloé, you don't deserve this.
You don't deserve the heartache and humiliation I have caused you.
You don't deserve the way I have treated you over the years.
My actions certainly have not lined up with the way I view you.
I have the utmost respect and love for you.
Regardless of what you may think.
Again, I am so incredibly sorry."
But, according to a source Khloe isn't interested in his apology.
An insider told Hollywood Life that “Khloe is glad to see that he took responsibility
for, and owned up to, being the father of Maralee’s son.”
The source added, “It was the right thing to do, but Khloe wishes he would have left
it at that.
Khloe does not care about his apology because his words mean nothing to her anymore.
She can’t trust him, and she will never be able to trust him again.”
