June 2021
The couple “split up a few weeks ago,” and they are “still cordial toward one other and will continue to co-parent.” “There was no drama that broke them up,” the insider continued, “things just didn’t work out between the two of them.” The breakup announcement came only one day after part two of the Keeping Up With the Kardashians reunion aired.
January 2022
Thompson revealed the fatherhood of Nichols’ son on Instagram Story on January 3. He also offered a public apology to Kardashian at the time, writing:
“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.”
July 2022
It has been confirmed that the couple is expecting their second child together through surrogacy. The couple split in the summer of 2021, but Thompson consented to be a sperm donor for his ex — and they decided on a carrier — before his paternity scandal with Nichols became public in December 2021.
“Khloé and Tristan are not back together,” an exclusive source said when it was revealed that the exes are expecting their second child through a surrogate, adding that the former pair “have not spoken since December outside of parenting responsibilities.” “The baby was conceived via surrogate before it was known to Khloé and the public that Tristan was having a baby with someone else in December,” the source added.
According to a source, the now-exes are expecting a baby boy together, and they purposely chose to put a male embryo into their gestational carrier.
The Kardashian-Jenner clan was “supporting” as the actress awaited the birth of her second child via surrogate, but a source exclusively revealed that they “distanced themselves” from Thompson following his feud with Nichols.
