Since breaking up in 2022 over his numerous cheating scandals and the Good American founder Tristan Thompson, the ex-couple has worked to create a coparenting relationship with their two children. The 39-year-old isn’t shy about sharing just how difficult the journey has been. It would be easy for me to not speak to Tristan again, and just to badmouth him. Khloe said tomorrow, “Of Course” in an interview with People published on Jan. 11.
Let’s explore the co-parenting story of Khloé Kardashian and Tristan, a journey of challenges, growth, and shared dedication to their children
It’s harder to be nice. It’s hard to say hello in front of the kids when you are angry. Khloe, who shares her daughter and son True with the basketballer, believes it’s the right approach. But sometimes it feels like a battle. She admitted, “I had learnt to control my feelings.”
There were many times when my emotions took control and I was impulsive. I posted or tweeted things you regret. “But I don’t regret being nice.” The Kardashians star said, “I want my children to have a beautiful relationship with their father.” “And if our dads are willing to be present and hands-on and show up, why would I stop that?” Khloe’s family is always her priority, despite the difficult dynamics.
After her house was damaged by a storm, Khloe allowed Tristan to temporarily move in with his brother Amari and sister Amari.
Happy Birthday!
Khloe’s break-up was a long time in coming. But it is clear that she wanted to keep her family intact and had to reach her point of no return to walk away. Tristan provided her with that when he hooked up with Kylie Jenner and Khloe’s close friend Jordyn.
Tristan celebrated his birthday this week, and Khloe, True and True did not appear to have seen the professional basketball player on that day.
The usual celebrations of the Kardashians’ birthdays are a far cry from this. Traditionally, the family throws a huge party with balloons, flowers and other decorations. Tristan seems to be disconnected from his family. There are reports now that he is avoiding both his daughter and former partner to deal with the breakup.
The Complicated Relationship with Tristan
Khloe and Tristan’s relationship has been anything but straightforward. They welcomed their daughter True on April 12, 2018, but their world was rocked days before her birth by shocking cheating allegations. Just hours before Khloe was set to give birth, Tristan was caught on video kissing another woman at a Manhattan club. A source at the time revealed that Khloe felt Tristan didn’t fully comprehend the consequences of his actions, which had far-reaching effects on the entire Kardashian family.
Khloe’s Instagram post yesterday, showing their 11-month-old baby girl in an embroidered tee that said “wish you were here”, seemed to confirm this.
Khloe said last week that she had been all over the map since the Tristan/Jordyn affair was revealed. Khloe tagged Jordyn on Twitter after the younger woman revealed all on Jada’s The Red Table Show, accusing her that she was the cause of her family’s breakup.
Why are you lying? You should be honest about your story if you are going to go public to save yourself. Instead of calling me privately and apologising first, please tell the truth. BTW, you ARE the cause of my family’s breakup!
Tristan shares the blame, but Tristan’s father is my child. No matter what he says or does to me, I will not do it to my daughter. He has been dealing with this situation IN PRIVATE. “Yes, I would also address Tristan publicly if he were to lie about the conspiracies.
Jordyn Does Not Deserve to be Blamed
She quickly clarified that Jordyn was not to blame for the breakup of her relationship.
This week has been awful & I’m sure everyone is tired of hearing about it (as I am). I’m on a rollercoaster and have said things that I shouldn’t. Khloe tweeted on March 2, “Honestly, Tristan cheating and humiliating me wasn’t as shocking as the first time.”
It’s more painful to be hurt by someone close. I treat her like my little sister. Jordyn cannot be held responsible for the dissolution of my family. This was Tristan’s mistake.
I must move on in my life and count my blessings. My family, my health & my beautiful baby, True
I Hope You Step on Lego
True’s 1st birthday is fast approaching, and Khloe wonders how she can include Tristan in the celebration without causing further conflict and tension. This is a scenario that almost all separated parents are familiar with.
Tristan’s Cleveland Cavaliers Instagram comments are full of conflict. Khloe’s fans took advantage of the Cavs posting a birthday message on their Instagram account to remind Tristan what he was missing. Tristan had turned off comments on Instagram, so Khloe fans jumped at the opportunity to tell him off and defend her.
One angry Instagram user wrote: “For your birthday, I hope you step over LEGOs every birthday for the rest of your lifetime.”
This guy doesn’t deserve a good day. He gets what he deserves? Another wrote.
Someone else commented wryly, “I never knew you could have cake and eat it too before your birthday. He must have been celebrating early.
Khloe’s Co-Parenting Dynamic with Tristan
Tristan and I co-parent well,” Khloe said, speaking openly about their relationship after their split. Despite the challenges they’ve faced, she expressed contentment with her current situation. “I’ve chosen not to because I genuinely don’t want to. I’m not dating,” Khloe explained. “My relationship with my kids is everything to me.
Khloe’s Approach to Love and Dating
Khloe made it clear that if love happens to come her way in the future, she’s open to it, but it’s not something she’s actively seeking right now. “If I meet someone in two months, two years, and I fall in love, great,” she said. But I’m not actively on the dating scene searching for someone, and I’m so happy. I feel so fulfilled.
Khloe and Tristan’s Continued Bond for the Kids
Khloe and Tristan welcomed their son Tatum via surrogate on July 28, 2022. Since their breakup, the former couple has maintained a cordial and cooperative relationship, with Khloe admitting that they have a positive dynamic for the sake of their children. He did make mistakes, Khloe told SHE MD in May. He’s the nicest guy, and we get along so well now.
Moving On, But Focusing on Family
Khloe added, We’re not meant to be together, but he was meant to be the father of these kids. And we do get along so well, and I’m grateful for that because my parents got along so well.
Although Khloe has no intentions of rekindling her relationship with Tristan, she is focused on being the best mother she can be for True and Tatum, and for now, her priorities remain firmly centred on her family.
Conlusion
Khloe and Tristan Thompson’s journey of co-parenting shows that despite personal differences and public speculation, it is possible to prioritise the well-being of children through mutual respect and communication. Their story is a good reminder that co-parenting success comes from putting children’s needs first.
