Khlo\u00e9 Kardashian and Tristan Thompson\u2019s on-again, off-again relationship has been rocky over the years, but everything we\u2019ve learned in recent months is arguably the worst of it all.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n After tons of infidelity scandals, breakups, and eventual reunions since they began dating in 2016, Khlo\u00e9 and Tristan \u2014 who share a 4-year-old daughter named True \u2014 gave things another shot last year as they rekindled their romance once more.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n However, just months later, news broke that Tristan had not only cheated on Khlo\u00e9 again, but had also secretly fathered a child outside of their relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n Maralee Nichols, mother of Tristan\u2019s now-9-month-old baby boy, Theo, became pregnant on his 30th birthday in March 2021 \u2014 the same night that Khlo\u00e9 had thrown him a lavish birthday party and shared a gushing Instagram post about him.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n Tristan denied the child was his when Maralee initially sued him for various child-related expenses in December, but ultimately conceded that he was the father when a DNA test proved his paternity.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n What\u2019s more, Tristan didn\u2019t tell Khlo\u00e9 about the pregnancy before the news was made public, leaving her to find out with the \u201crest of the world\u201d when legal documents from the court case were leaked online. Her raw reaction was documented in her family\u2019s Hulu reality series, The Kardashians<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n And as if that wasn\u2019t bad enough, we later learned that Khlo\u00e9 and Tristan had actually been preparing to welcome a child of their own via surrogate at this very time.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n Their baby boy was born in July this year, and The Kardashians<\/i> has since revealed that Tristan was actually encouraging Khlo\u00e9 to go ahead with their surrogacy plans despite being aware that Maralee was pregnant.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n But just when we thought we\u2019d heard the worst of it, Khlo\u00e9 made another shocking revelation about their relationship in the latest episode of the Hulu show, which aired this week.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n While speaking about Tristan\u2019s paternity scandal with her sister, Kim, in a scene filmed in the early months of this year, Khlo\u00e9 ended up revealing that the NBA player had actually proposed<\/i> to her.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n \u201cI mean, the fact that he proposed and you never told us,\u201d Kim tells Khlo\u00e9 as the two discuss how unhealthy the relationship was. A producer then asks Khlo\u00e9 during a confessional, \u201cTristan proposed to you?\u201d In response, she confirms: \u201cYeah.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n Kim goes on to divulge more about Tristan\u2019s proposal plans in a confessional of her own. \u201cI\u2019ll never forget Tristan calling me, and he was gonna propose to her on Valentine\u2019s Day, which was like a year since they had drama. So this was last Valentine\u2019s Day,\u201d she says.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n \u201cAnd then I called him the day after, and I was like, \u2018Hey, I never heard anything from Khlo\u00e9, oh my God, did you propose?\u2019\u201d she recalls. \u201cAnd he was like, \u2018Oh yeah, I did in December.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n Khlo\u00e9 then says that she actually turned Tristan down, explaining that she needed to make sure she was comfortable and happy in the relationship before accepting a proposal from him.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n \u201cI said, \u2018I need to make sure that this is a totally different relationship because I wanna be proud to say I\u2019m engaged to anyone,\u2019\u201d she recalls. \u201cAnd that\u2019s why I said, \u2018I\u2019m not comfortable accepting this right now, because I\u2019m not excited to tell my family.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n \u201cAs hurtful as that probably was for him to hear, it was the truth,\u201d she adds. \u201cI\u2019m not ever gonna accept something and give someone false hope. And I said that to him.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n While Kim\u2019s comments appear to suggest that Tristan proposed in December 2020, sources with insider knowledge told BuzzFeed News that the athlete actually proposed to Khlo\u00e9 in December 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n The sources said that while Khlo\u00e9 did not accept Tristan\u2019s proposal in 2019, the pair ended up discussing things again in February 2021, and ultimately did<\/i> get engaged.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n The insiders added that Khlo\u00e9 and Tristan were engaged until she found out about his paternity scandal in December 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n And while Khlo\u00e9 and Tristan never publicly announced the news of their engagement, the pair dropped several hints about their status over the following months.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n First of all, in Season 1 of The Kardashians<\/i> \u2014 which was filmed in the latter months of last year \u2014 Khlo\u00e9 memorably said marriage was the \u201cend goal\u201d with Tristan after revealing that the NBA player had discussed the subject with not just her, but her mom, Kris Jenner, several times.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n \u201cAll Tristan talks to me about sometimes is getting married,\u201d Kris told Khlo\u00e9 while the two were out for lunch in Episode 9. \u201cHe\u2019s always talking about how much he wants to regain that trust that he knows that he lost.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n \u201cYeah, he talks about it all the time,\u201d Khlo\u00e9 agreed, before elaborating in a confessional: \u201cI\u2019m not with Tristan to just float around with Tristan. I mean, marriage is the end goal.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n What\u2019s more, in Episode 7, Tristan told Khlo\u00e9 that she was \u201cnever leaving\u201d him as the pair discussed their future as a couple. \u201cBlood in, blood out\u2026 We\u2019re family for life,\u201d he said, to which she agreed: \u201cI think either way it goes, we\u2019re family if you like it or not.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n But undoubtedly the most pointed hint that Khlo\u00e9 dropped was the huge diamond ring she began sporting in February 2021 \u2014 the very month that she and Tristan had gotten engaged.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n Rumors that Tristan had popped the big question reached an all-time high that month, after Khlo\u00e9 shared several photos rocking the ring on her left finger all over Instagram.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n She continued to post photos with the ring on in March too, and notably wore it at Tristan\u2019s 30th birthday party that month.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n And in April, Tristan left an eyebrow-raising comment under a picture she shared that was entirely focused on the ring.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n Khlo\u00e9 never addressed the floods of Instagram comments about her and Tristan\u2019s relationship status in response to the ring. However, her mom, Kris, fueled the speculation further after she made a cryptic remark about the potential engagement during an appearance on The Ellen Show<\/i> that same month.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n When asked about Khlo\u00e9\u2019s ring and the ongoing speculation, Kris neither confirmed nor denied that the star was engaged, instead saying: \u201cThat\u2019s a good ring. I think she just loves jewelry. She loves a good, you know, ring!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n She then seemingly deflected things altogether as she told host Ellen DeGeneres, \u201cYou should ask Khloe [about it].\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n Fast forward to the end of the year, and \u2014 if all else hadn\u2019t \u2014 Tristan\u2019s court battle with Maralee seemingly confirmed that he and Khlo\u00e9 had actually been engaged.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n According to legal documents obtained by multiple outlets, Tristan told Maralee that he and Khlo\u00e9 would be \u201cmarried soon\u201d as he attempted to encourage her to get an abortion. He also purportedly referred to the reality star as his fianc\u00e9e and said that they were planning on publicly announcing the news of their engagement.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n \u201cI\u2019m engaged but I will be married soon,\u201d he allegedly wrote in messages to Maralee. \u201cI told you I won\u2019t and can\u2019t be in the child life at all by no means \u2026 Why not wait till yoj find the right person to have a family with\u2026 Why would you want a baby with a man that\u2019s engaged. You wanna keep a mistake.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n \u201cJust a heads up me and my fianc\u00e8 gonna announce publicly about out marriage,\u201d he added, according to the filings. \u201cJust a heads up. We probably moving out the country in September and live either in Europe or Caribbean. Better living for us and our family away from the bs of America.\u201d Tristan never publicly confirmed whether or not the messages were legitimate.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n You can watch the latest episode of The Kardashians<\/i> on Hulu, or Disney+ internationally, now. The next episode will be released on October 5.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n Your weekday morning guide to breaking news, cultural analysis, and everything in between<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Source <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n \/* inline tdc_css att *\/<\/p>\n \/* phone *\/ \/* custom css *\/ \/* phone *\/ <\/p>\n \/* custom css *\/ .tdi_107{ .tdi_107 .td_block_wrap{ text-align:left }<\/p>\n \/* custom css *\/ \/* inline tdc_css att *\/<\/p>\n .tdi_110{ \/* phone *\/ \/* custom css *\/ padding: 6px 12px;<\/p>\n color: #000000;<\/p>\n background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0);<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\tfont-family:Roboto !important;font-weight:700 !important; padding: 6px 12px;<\/p>\n border: 0px solid #ededed;<\/p>\n color: #111;<\/p>\n background-color: #f2f2f2;<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\tfont-family:Roboto !important;font-weight:400 !important; background-color: #1e73be; \/* landscape *\/ \/* portrait *\/ border: 0px solid #ededed; \/* phone *\/ border: 0px solid #ededed; \/* inline tdc_css att *\/<\/p>\n .tdi_113{ \/* phone *\/ \/* custom css *\/ border: 1px solid #ededed; padding-bottom: 0; transform: translateZ(0); pointer-events: auto; \t\t\t\t\tline-height: 15px; \t\t\t\t margin: 7px 14px 7px 0; \/* landscape *\/ \/* portrait *\/ border: 1px solid #ededed; transform: translateZ(0); \/* phone *\/ transform: translateZ(0); padding-top: 10px; \/* inline tdc_css att *\/<\/p>\n .tdi_114{ \/* custom css *\/ \/* inline tdc_css att *\/ \/* phone *\/ @media (max-width: 767px) { .tdi_102{ margin-bottom:20px !important; } } \/* custom css *\/ .tdb_single_featured_image{ margin-bottom: 26px; }.tdb_single_featured_image.tdb-sfi-stretch{ opacity: 0; }.tdb_single_featured_image.tdb-sfi-stretch, .tdb_single_featured_image .tdb-block-inner{ -webkit-transition: all 0.3s ease-in-out; transition: all 0.3s ease-in-out; }.tdb_single_featured_image img{ display: block; width: 100%; }.tdb_single_featured_image video{ max-width: 100%; }.tdb_single_featured_image .tdb-caption-text{ z-index: 1; text-align: left; font-size: […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1213041,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1213040","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrity-gossip"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1213040","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1213040"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1213040\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1213040"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1213040"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1213040"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
