- Inside Khloe Kardashian’s current relationship with ex Tristan Thompson as she turns 42 (themirror.com)
Over the past decade, Khloe Kardashian’s relationship with Tristan Thompson has been marked by ups and downs, capturing the attention of fans and media alike. Since they began dating in the summer of 2016, their journey has included multiple children and publicized challenges, including confirmed instances of Tristan’s infidelity.
Their relationship faced early strains when cheating allegations surfaced as Khloe gave birth to their daughter, True. Although they stayed together for a time, the couple officially split in 2019 following Tristan’s widely reported kiss with Jordyn Woods, a close family friend. Despite attempts to reconcile-and even a secret engagement-their relationship ended publicly in 2021 after Tristan fathered a child with another woman.
After some time apart, Khloe and Tristan reconnected, and in 2022 they welcomed a son, Tatum, via surrogate. Now, as Khloe celebrates her 42nd birthday, the pair maintain a firm but amicable co-parenting relationship centered on their two children.
In late 2025, rumors circulated suggesting that Khloe and Tristan had rekindled their romance. Khloe addressed these claims on her “Khloe in Wonderland” podcast, firmly denying a romantic reunion.
She explained, “Tristan is not back in. He’s just the father of my kids, so he’s going to be around his kids and I’m really grateful that he is.”
She emphasized the importance of their positive co-parenting dynamic, saying, “I love that he has a great relationship with his kids. That’s a beautiful blessing, and I’m never going to get in the way of that.”
Khloe also described their current connection as friendly but non-romantic, crediting her personal growth for maintaining this balance.
Regarding the possibility of expanding their family, both Khloe and Tristan recently spoke candidly on her podcast. Tristan revealed that he had undergone a vasectomy, a decision influenced by Khloe’s suggestion.
He joked, “I already have enough baby mommas, I don’t want no more.” Khloe admitted she had given him a bit of an ultimatum, and Tristan humorously added, “Sometimes you got to lay them nuts on the table.”
The NBA star acknowledged that Khloe’s encouragement helped guide him toward making the choice, with Khloe noting, “Sometimes you have to get forced into the right decision.”
At this stage, Khloe and Tristan appear focused on co-parenting their children and maintaining a respectful, platonic relationship rather than rekindling their romantic past.
