Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson welcome 2nd baby via surrogate months after breakup
Khloe Kardashian and her ex-Tristan Thompson have welcomed their second child together, a baby boy, according to a rep for the reality star. On July 13, it was revealed that the on-again, off-again couple was expecting a son, seven months after their most recent breakup.
“Khloe is incredibly grateful to the extraordinary surrogate for such a beautiful blessing,” Kardashian’s rep told Page Six at the time. “We’d like to ask for kindness and privacy so that Khloe can focus on her family,” the statement added. According to an insider, Kardashian, 38, and Thompson, 31, are no longer together and have not spoken since co-parenting their 4-year-old daughter, True, Page Six reported.

'The Kardashians' star welcomed True in April 2018, one year after the athlete welcomed son Prince, now five, with ex Jordan Craig. While Kardashian and Thompson split in February 2019 following multiple cheating scandals on his part, they reconciled the following year — only for the NBA player to be unfaithful again. Thompson admitted to having sex with Maralee Nichols in March 2021 in court documents released nine months later.
"His whole declaration is in this thing, which says, 'I slept with her,'" Kim Kardashian said in a June episode of the family’s Hulu show documenting the December 2021 drama, Page Six reported at that time. The 41-year-old Skims founder also mentioned Nichols' pregnancy at the time, saying, "The whole thing that's so sad is that [Khloé] wants a baby boy." Now she's having an f-king baby boy? A f-king random with whom he sleeps one night? F-k him!". Nichols gave birth to a son named Theo later that same month.
When the news broke, Kylie Jenner called Thompson "the worst person on the planet," while Kourtney Kardashian slammed his "never-ending betrayal". Despite Khloe telling Robin Roberts in April that Thompson is "not the guy for" her, and she is now dating a private equity investor, she and Thompson had their son in November 2021, before his latest transgression became public.
Prior to their breakup, the former couple made no secret of their desire to give True a sibling. "I feel like it's now time for another kid," Khloe said in a February 2021 episode of 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians'. "I think I'm ready to do the whole pregnancy thing again," the former E! star said at the time. "This procedure may take some time. I'm not sure. "I want to be ready." Khloe revealed to Andy Cohen four months later that their surrogate "fell through," explaining, "It's a very tedious, hard process."
Twitter users mocked the former couple for having a baby again even after breakup. "HOW CONVENIENT. Kim and Pete “breakup” just as Khlobacca and Third Trimester Tristan welcome another baby. That family is SAD! 🤣", a user wrote. While another wrote, "Stop having children khloe! Hes not gonna change."
