A Timeline of Khloé Kardashian and Tristan Thompson’s Roller-Coaster Relationship

Two months after multiple outlets, including People and Us Weekly, reported that Kardashian was pregnant, the pair announced their happy news on Instagram.

“My greatest dream realized! We are having a baby!” Kardashian gushed alongside a photo of Thompson cradling her bare belly. “I had been waiting and wondering, but God had a plan all along. He knew what He was doing. I simply had to trust in Him and be patient. I still at times can’t believe that our love created life! Tristan, thank you for loving me the way that you do! Thank you for treating me like a Queen! Thank you for making me feel beautiful at all stages! Tristan, most of all, Thank you for making me a MOMMY!!!”

In March 2017, days before Thompson and Kardashian celebrated their baby-to-be at a lavish baby shower, the reality star announced on Twitter that they were expecting a baby girl.

Days before Kardashian was due to give birth to their daughter, Thompson was spotted with a mystery woman in New York City. In photos obtained by Daily Mail, the athlete was seen speaking closely with – or possibly kissing – the woman.

The photos were followed by videos from TMZ and The Shade Room, which showed Thompson entering an NYC hotel room with the same woman around 5 a.m. That same day, TMZ released footage from October 2017 which showed Thompson kissing one woman and inappropriately touching another during a night out at a hookah lounge near Washington D.C.

While it seemed that Thompson and Kardashian had overcome their hardships, the couple hit another bump when reports surfaced that the athlete had kissed Kylie Jenner’s BFF, Jordyn Woods, at a party.

After Woods told her side of the story on a March 2019 episode of Jada Pinkett Smith‘s Red Table Talk, Kardashian spoke out on Twitter. “Why are you lying @jordynwoods ??” she wrote. “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!”

Kardashian also placed blame on Thompson, adding, “Tristan is equally to blame but Tristan is the father of my child. Regardless of what he does to me I won’t do that to my daughter. He has been addressing this situation PRIVATELY. If Tristan were to lie publicly about what conspired,then yes I would address him publicly as well.”

Kardashian penned a heartfelt tribute to True’s dad on his 30th birthday. “The ones that are meant to be are the ones who go through everything that is designed to tear them apart and they came out even stronger than they were before,” the reality star wrote. “Thank you for showing me everything you said you would. For the father you are. For the best friend I have in you. I’m thankful that I can do absolutely nothing with you and it feels like everything. I hope you know today and everyday how loved you are by me and so many.”

People confirmed that Kardashian and Thompson had split once again just months after model Sydney Chase claimed that she’d slept with Thompson while he was in a relationship with Kardashian. Thompson denied her claims.

On the May 5 episode of “The Kardashians,” fans learned that Thompson flew out to California to be there for Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker’s engagement on Oct. 17. A producer asks Kardashian how she and Thompson are doing. She tells them: “We’re good. We’re, actually, in a really good place. We just got back together. He’s been going to therapy a lot. There’s just been a lot of effort on his part.” This is the first time she’s publicly confirmed that she and Thompson were romantically involved in the fall of 2021.

On July 13, 2022, news broke that Khloé Kardashian was expecting her second child with Tristan Thompson via a surrogate. “We can confirm True will have a sibling who was conceived in November. Khloé is incredibly grateful to the extraordinary surrogate for such a beautiful blessing. We’d like to ask for kindness and privacy so that Khloe can focus on her family,” a source told People.

The child, reportedly a baby boy, was conceived a month before Thompson’s son was born, while Kardashian and Thompson were still together.

“Khloe kept the pregnancy a secret to protect surrogate privacy and safety,” a source told E! News on July 14, “and to protect her mental health from judgement from the public as a result of Tristan’s actions.”

On July 14, a source told People that Kardashian wants Tristan in their second child’s life. “Just like they do with True, Khloé will co-parent the baby with Tristan,” the source said. “Tristan is the dad and Khloé wants him involved as much as possible. He is great with True.” However, a source previously told the outlet that “Khloé and Tristan are not back together and have not spoken since December outside of co-parenting matters.”
