What Caused Khloe Kardashian And Tristan Thompson's Latest Split
Following April rumors of infidelity and uncertainty in the relationship, Khloé Kardashian and Tristan Thompson have broken up again, Page Six reported on June 21. Friends of the former couple shared the exclusive news that the pair have been separated for weeks now.
Co-parents to 3-year-old daughter True, the pair split up once before in April 2018. When Khloé was pregnant with True, the Daily Mail posted a video allegedly showing Tristan canoodling with a woman at a New York City bar. Around this time, TMZ also shared footage, shot in October 2017, supposedly showing Tristan getting handsy with two women at a hookah lounge. The two briefly called it quits, reconciling in May 2018 after True's birth, according to Cosmopolitan. TMZ, however, reported further cheating rumors — this time of Thompson "snuggling" with Kylie Jenner's former friend, Jordyn Woods, at a party in February 2019. They split again, with the two eventually getting back together in summer 2020, per Insider.
As Page Six pointed out, this latest breakup came after Tristan was supposedly spotted alone in a room with three women at a birthday party on June 18. Per the outlet, he allegedly left the room 30 minutes later with a "disheveled" appearance. Could this be what drove the couple to split this time? Keep reading to find out!
The straw that broke Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson up
Per Page Six sources, Khloé Kardashian and Tristan Thompson are "off" again due to the April cheating scandal that ignited when Instagram model Sydney Chase appeared on the "No Jumper" podcast. In the interview, Chase was asked the question, "How was Tristan Thompson's d**k?" She replied, "It was a peek-a-boo d**k, but baby it was good." According to Chase, this supposed dalliance occurred in January 2021 (when Khloé and Thompson were fully together), but she claimed the NBA player had told her he was single. "I cut him off," she told the show about what she did after finding out.
In a reunion episode of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" on June 20 that was recorded in April, Khloé described her feelings on moving forward with Thompson despite worries that his infidelity might start again. "I can't worry too much about everything else. I know the growth and all the work that he's done," she said (via Hollywood Life).
According to Page Six's sources, there are no hard feelings at the moment for the ex-couple. "They're getting along. There is no drama," the insider spilled, stressing that "everything is amicable, and they are on the same page with co-parenting."
Khloe Kardashian is reportedly 'done' with Tristan Thompson
According to E! News, Khloé Kardashian grew tired of the ongoing cheating rumors surrounding her relationship with Tristan Thompson. "They had been working through the cheating rumors for the last couple of weeks, but Khloé told Tristan he lost all of her trust and the relationship could not be repaired," the source explained. "Khloé really tried, but ultimately, felt too betrayed by him." The insider added, "She's done and says she will not go back."
"They have been co-parenting and have seen each other several times in the last week with True, but are not romantically together," the source continued.
Before the couple reunited, the reality TV star had opened up about the struggles that come with co-parenting. "It's one of the hardest things I've ever done," she told Ellen DeGeneres in October 2020 (per Us Weekly). "Because you have your own personal feelings, but when you can put those aside and you just put your child first — it sounds great when you're all in love and everything, [but] when you go through something, it's such a challenge."
It seemed like Tristan Thompson had really changed
It was not easy for Tristan Thompson to get back into Khloé Kardashian's good graces after he cheated on her with Jordyn Woods. "Tristan has bent over backwards to be with her," the source told E! News in October 2020. "He has apologized over and over and swears he is forever changed. She resisted for a long time, but he's slowly finding his way back in." The insider continued, "Tristan is committed to doing things differently and not messing up."
At the time, sources said Khloé was "hopeful about their future together and has seen a big change in him." She echoed those same sentiments during the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" reunion episode on June 20, per E! News. In fact, she said he would not have gone through "all of that" if he was not serious.
Sadly, it turns out all his growth and efforts to be in her life were momentary, as the couple is right back where they started.
