Khloé reportedly kept the news under wraps “to protect her mental health from judgment from the public as a result of Tristan’s actions.”
Khloé Kardashian And Tristan Thompson Are Expecting A Second Baby Together. Here’s Everything We Know About Their Surrogacy Journey.
ICYMI: Khloé Kardashian and Tristan Thompson are expecting another baby together.
“We’d like to ask for kindness and privacy so that Khloé can focus on her family,” the rep said.
Well, given that Khloé and Tristan are currently not together following his shocking paternity scandal that unfolded in January, tons of internet users are super confused by the latest news that they’re welcoming another child together.
Khloé learned of this news “with the rest of the world” when Tristan’s legal declaration was leaked, roughly a month before he announced his DNA test results on a public Instagram story.
In fact, her raw reaction to the scandal was showcased in the Season 1 finale of Hulu’s The Kardashians, with her sisters Kim, Kourtney, and Kylie denouncing Tristan as they consoled Khloé.
“Everything is an act of betrayal, everything is a lie, everything is manipulation. It’s deceit,” said Khloé, who has repeatedly taken Tristan back over the years that their on-again, off-again relationship had been dogged by his infidelity.
What’s more, Tristan wound up conceding that he’d had a monthslong sexual affair with Maralee too, communicating exclusively via his secret Snapchat account to discuss when and where to have sex.
But a source has now revealed to People that Khloé and Tristan’s baby was conceived before the reality star had any knowledge of his infidelity with Maralee.
A couple of years prior, while she was pregnant with True, Khloé faced a “high risk of miscarrying” due to super-low levels of progesterone in her body — a hormone vital for stabilizing the inner lining of the uterus.
Khloé went on to reveal that she’d chosen Tristan to be her sperm donor after hearing from her doctor about the benefits of combining her eggs with sperm to create embryos.
About a year later, during the final season of Keeping Up, Khloé and Tristan — who, as they revealed in March, had reconciled things romantically — discussed the expansion of their family in more detail as they spoke with a surrogate therapist.
In fact, Tristan said himself that he was super excited to be embarking on a “new chapter” with Khloé, adding that he would provide “whatever” she needed.
And after much back-and-forth, with Khloé finding things to be “way more overwhelming” than she’d first imagined, the pair wound up deciding to pursue surrogacy.
Not too long after this season of KUWTK aired, Tristan was accused of cheating on Khloé again and the pair split up. However, they rekindled things just a few months afterward, as Hulu’s The Kardashians recently revealed, and presumably picked back up on the surrogacy process where they left off.
And watching the final episode of last season’s The Kardashians back following the latest news of the surrogacy, it appears Kim was dropping hints about Khloé and Tristan’s second child the entire time.
When discussing Maralee’s pregnancy with Kourtney and Kylie, Kim said: “This is the biggest sign. The whole thing that’s so sad is Khloé wanted a boy, and this girl is having a boy.”
It’s yet to be confirmed whether or not the next season of The Kardashians — which is set to air on Sept. 22 — will feature Khloé and Tristan’s surrogacy, with its recent trailer making no reference to the subject.
Meanwhile, neither Khloé nor Tristan have yet to publicly speak out about the topic themselves. We’ll be sure to update you if they do.
