That was then; this is now. It seems that this week, after the two seemingly reunited on happy terms more than a year ago, they’re now kaput once more. All the ups and downs are leaving many Keeping Up With the Kardashians fans wondering what, exactly, is going on here. So, are Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson broken up again or not? Here’s what you need to know.
Did Khloe and Tristan break up again?
All signs point to yes! Earlier this week, E! reported that Kardashian and Thompson had decided to once again call off their relationship after what had seemed like a happy reconciliation. While neither of them has yet to publicly confirm their rumored split, a source says their breakup took place just hours after Thompson was spotted alongside three women going into the bedroom of a Bel-Air mansion where rapper Drake was hosting a party. “Tristan was hanging out with Drake, Diddy and Chris Brown the majority of the night,” the source explained. “He was seen hanging out with several girls on the upstairs deck and then went into a private room with three girls. He seemed like he was in a great mood and wanted to party. He was drinking and was partying into the early hours of the morning.” Seemingly in response to those rumors, Thompson issued a tweet on Monday that featured several blue cap emojis—social media slang for calling out a lie. However, other insiders have since backed up the claim that Kardashian and Thompson are done. “They had been working through the cheating rumors for the last couple of weeks, but Khloe told Tristan he lost all of her trust and the relationship could not be repaired,” another E! source revealed. “Khloe really tried, but ultimately, felt too betrayed by him. She’s done and says she will not go back.”
When did Khloe and Tristan first start dating?
Kardashian and Thompson first went public as a couple in 2016. Thompson was expecting his first child with his ex, Jordan Craig, at the time, according to PEOPLE. After months of rumors, Kardashian shared on Instagram in 2017 that she was expecting her first child with Thompson, calling it, “my greatest dream realized.” But just days before Kardashian was set to give birth to the couple’s daughter in the spring of 2018, cheating allegations surfaced—including photos and a video of Thompson entering a hotel with another woman. While the couple stayed together, they later split in 2019 after TMZ reported that Thompson cheated on Kardashian again—this time, with her sister Kylie Jenner’s then-best friend, Jordyn Woods.
When did Khloe and Tristan get back together?
Just months after the Woods cheating scandal, the former couple seemed to be friendly once more. In June 2020, Thompson shared a heartfelt tribute to Kardashian in honor of her 36th birthday, calling her a “beautiful and loving” person. “I’m wise enough now to know, you came into my life to show me just what it means to be an incredible person,” he captioned a photo of their family laughing together.“I appreciate how I am able to learn from and grow because of you. I thank God for the beautiful and loving woman you are to everyone, especially our daughter True. You deserve the world Koko! True and I love you mama. Happy Birthday.” By July 2020, an insider had confirmed to PEOPLE that the former couple were officially back together. “Tristan is working hard to prove himself and has been a great dad to True,” the source said, adding that the two are “giving their relationship another try.” Then, in the first trailer for the final season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, which was released in January 2021, Kardashian and Thompson could be seen talking about whether to have another child together. “I just feel like it’s now time to have another kid,” Kardashian told a hopeful-looking Thompson. Thompson and Kardashian also reportedly bought a new home together in Los Angeles’ Hidden Hills neighborhood, according to Hello. Variety also reported that Kardashian’s mom, Kris Jenner, bought a home next door. At least one of the homes has 16,500 square feet, with eight bedrooms, 9.5 baths, an eight-car garage, covered patios, a guest house, movie theater, gym, lounge, office and a pool with inset spa.
Were Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson engaged?
Rumors were previously circulating about an engagement, but they got stronger after Kardashian appeared on the cover of GrittyPretty magazine in March 2021. The snap showed her posing with a massive ring on that finger. The comments were flooded with questions about whether the couple is engaged. Kardashian posted a photo on Instagram in late February showing off that same ring in an ad for her Good American brand. A source told Page Sixat the time that Thompson and Kardashian weren’t engaged—and in fact, that Kardashian had owned the ring for a while and that it wasn’t given to her by Thompson. Next, here’s why Keeping Up With the Kardashians is ending after 20 seasons.
