Khloé Kardashian Explained Why The Kardashians Keep Toxic Men In Their Lives And Seemingly Defended Her Decision To Get Back With Tristan Thompson Before His Paternity Scandal Broke

If there’s one thing we know about the Kardashian-Jenners, it’s that loyalty is everything, especially when it comes to family.

However, things eventually came tumbling down once again in January this year, after Tristan was forced to confirm that he had welcomed a child with a woman named Maralee Nichols, having conceived the baby back in March 2021 — the very night that he and Khloé had gone public with their rekindled romance.

“I think at the end of the day all of us just aspire to have blissfulness,” she told Robin Roberts during an ABC News special last month, going on to say that she still thinks Tristan is “a great guy” and “a great dad.”

Fans had remained intrigued to see whether the couple would reunite once again given their previous reconciliations. However, Khloé did go on to clarify that while she appreciates him as True’s father, Tristan is “just not the guy” for her.

And just like Kourt, her younger sister Kim Kardashian has maintained a pretty close relationship with her ex-husband, Kanye West.

So much so, in fact, that in September last year — seven months after Kim filed for porce — the exes were spending so much time together that fans became convinced that their split had been called off.

Fans of the show will know that at this stage in their porce, Kim and Kanye weren’t on the friendliest of terms after he stormed out of her Saturday Night Live monologue weeks earlier.

After Kanye and Kim leave the gym, the surprise Kanye appearance prompts Khloé to reflect on their unusual family dynamic, comparing it to “the mob.”

“Let me just really ask you something, Tristan, and be as honest as you want, okay?” she begins. “Either an inpidual would say: ‘What an amazing family, that you guys just keep everyone around at all times.’ Or, are you like: ‘How does this family still keep all these guys around?’”

“Once you’re in, it’s like the mob, you can’t get out,” she jokes.

“We have a very loyal, strong vibe in our family,” Khloé says. “We are great coparenters, we are great at blending families. We’ve learned that from my mom and my dad.”

Returning to the gym where Khloé and Tristan have resumed their workout, Khloé explains to Tristan that her and her sisters’ co-parenting styles have been inspired by that of their parents, who porced when she, Kim, Kourtney, and their brother Rob were children.

“That’s just how we are. That’s how we were raised,” she says. “Like my mom and my dad were best friends, my dad and my step-dad played golf together twice a week.”

In response, Tristan offers a wider perspective, explaining that the family’s approach to coparenting is pretty unusual, even for him.

But, Khloé knows exactly how it is in her family and swiftly responds, telling Tristan that he’s stuck in the family “forever.”

“Scott is never leaving. Kanye is never leaving. Looks like you’re never leaving. We’re all here, forever!” she says, calling their unconventional approach “a beautiful thing.”

Tristan then quips: “No, no. More like you’re never leaving me,” which, as far as quotes go, certainly hasn’t aged well given what the following months would entail.
