Khloe Kardashian’s Real Reaction Over Tristan Thompson’s Cheating Issue Revealed

By Alexandria Reeves

Khloe Kardashian seems to be more heartbroken than expected after Tristan Thompson fathered another child.

Kardashian and Thompson hit rock bottom in their relationship again when Maralee Nichols claimed that the NBA star impregnated her in March. It became the athlete's latest cheating issue after his infidelities with several women, including Kylie Jenner's former best friend, Jordyn Woods.

Months after Thompson revealed that he was indeed the father of the trainer's baby, "The Kardashians" showrunner revealed how tragic it was to film the family's reactions to the basketball player's paternity issue.

In a new Q&A session with Insider, Danielle King recalled filming the paternity scandal, although the episode is yet to be released on Hulu. Per the showrunner, it was an emotional moment to film as the family members all shared their heartbreaks.

"I've fallen in love with the cast and I deeply care about them, so that scene felt very heartbreaking to me. It was truly heartbreaking," the showrunner said. "I'm filming it, but there's still a human aspect to all of it. My heart was just utterly breaking for Khloé."

King recalled the time when the crew was filming at Kim Kardashian's house when the KKW Beauty mogul saw the reports about Thompson. The showrunner noted that the headlines about Kardashian-Jenner clan members occurred while they were shooting something for the show.

Khloe Kardashian Moved On From Tristan Thompson

After forgiving him multiple times, Kardashian finally realized that Thomson is not for him. It finally hit her when the NBA star got embroiled in the paternity scandal with Maralee Nichols.

In an ABC News special in April, True's mother said that Thompson was not just the guy for her.

She told anchor Robin Roberts, "With Tristan, I did feel incredibly safe in the beginning, and I felt really good for a time. I remember when he cheated on me right before I gave birth, and I was able to still have him in the delivery room."

Although Thompson cheated on her, she still thinks that he is a great guy and a great father.

Aside from the issue with Nichols, Thompson also stirred criticism when he was pictured with several women in the past.

Before the "KUWTK" star gave birth to true, photos of the basketball player kissing other women emerged. In 2019, he also admitted to cheating on her with Woods.
