Khloé Kardashian Explains Relationship Status With Tristan Thompson – While Cryptically Shading ‘Not Great Fathers’! Khloé Kardashian has no room in her life for fathers who aren’t doing enough! But does that include her own baby daddy?
The Good American founder has been making headline after headline after going on the SHE MD podcast to talk motherhood with hosts Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi and Mary Alice Haney. As we’ve already covered, the Revenge Body alum has spoken about why it took so long for her to settle on a name for her son Tatum — and why she required baby daddy Tristan Thompson to do THREE paternity tests to make sure he really was the father! And now, there’s even more Tristan talk in the podcast pipeline!
During the podcast, the KUWTK alum reflected on her journey co-parenting Tatum and 6-year-old daughter True along with Tristan even long after the duo split up. And while Tristan has had some, uh, infidelity issues — to put it very, very mildly — she refuses to bash him while the ex-pair is busy parenting the little ones together! Speaking very candidly and very positively about Tristan, the reality TV veteran explained:
“My ex, Tristan, is an incredible father. I don’t want this to be a bashing thing. He made a mistake, but he’s the nicest guy. And we get along so well now. 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 really grateful for that because my parents got along so well.”
Awww! That’s actually really sweet! Of course, we wonder how Maralee Nichols might respond to Khloé’s claims there. Just sayin’!! Regardless, it is nice how Khloé speaks so highly of Tristan even after all that he has put her through. That makes things way healthier for the children and their development, for sure.
But here’s where things get really interesting! Khloé turned cryptic right after that by calling out some “not great fathers” when comparing them negatively to Tristan’s positive and helpful hands-on approach. Without naming names about which fathers were at issue, Khloé said:
“I’ve seen some other fathers that are not great fathers, and I’m very grateful that I have one that wants to be in their lives, that’s active every single day even though he doesn’t live here full time.”
Who could she be talking about?! Does she mean she’s seen them… up close? There are a lot of options in the KarJenner realm, TBH. We doubt she’s referring to her brother Rob Kardashian and his daughter Dream, considering how much Khloé loves Rob, and how close Dream is with True. We wonder if she’s possibly talking about sister Kourtney Kardashian‘s ex Scott Disick?? But Khloé and Scott have a famously good relationship, so we kinda doubt it. So, who’s left? Could she be talking about Travis Scott?? Or Caitlyn Jenner?! Or perhaps Kanye West?!?! Hmmm…
BTW, don’t count on Khloé getting back together with Tristan again — or dating anyone else soon, either! To clear the record of rampant speculation, she added this brief note about her plan to date at some point in the future:
“I will be ready to date. I just don’t know if it’s right now.”
