Khloe Kardashian took Tristan back because she ‘always believed he would change’

khloe true july2

Tristan Thompson likely impregnated Maralee Nichols back in March, when they were meeting up regularly for sex. Maralee gave birth recently, and we’re still waiting to hear about the genetic testing to see if the child is Tristan’s, and Tristan has tried to shift the child support issue to the state of Texas, where (arguably) the child was conceived. The problem is that Maralee lives in LA and gave birth in LA and this child support issue needs to be worked out in California. Anyway, in addition to all of the paternity and child support drama, there’s also drama because Tristan was still “with” Khloe when he impregnated Maralee, and Khloe is apparently in her feelings about it.

On the heels of the news that Tristan Thompson allegedly fathered a child with a woman he cheated on Khloé Kardashian with, a source tells PEOPLE that the Good American mogul previously “believed that he would change.”

According to court documents obtained by PEOPLE, the woman, Maralee Nichols, is suing Thompson for child support and pregnancy-related fees after she said they conceived a child together in March. She gave birth to the baby boy last week, her rep told PEOPLE.

The source says Kardashian, 37, “knows about the baby” and confirms that she and Thompson, 30, were together in March. The former couple share daughter True, 3, and Thompson is also dad to 4-year-old son Prince, whom he shares with ex-girlfriend Jordan Craig.

The insider says that Kardashian had friends encouraging her “over and over again” not to take Thompson back after his past cheating scandals, but ultimately remained with him “because she always believed that he would change” and wanted to keep the family intact for True.

“She is just a really great person and wants to see the positive in people,” the source says, adding, “It’s just a sad situation to her.”

I’ll admit to finding Khloe sympathetic years ago, when she was pregnant with True and then Tristan’s cheating was exposed at such a huge level. It must have been terrible for her. But all the sh-t that’s come after that, repeatedly taking Tristan back, the harassment of his side-chicks, what she did to Jordyn Woods, all of it is not sympathetic in the least. I guess I just don’t see why Khloe keeps leaking this sh-t to People Magazine for sympathy. Girl, we all told you that you shouldn’t get back with him.

Meanwhile, Tristan has apparently filed for an emergency gag order on Maralee Nichols. He doesn’t want anyone to find out the results of the paternity test, nor does he want people to learn even more about how he’s trying to cheap-out on paying child support. Tristan is also accusing Maralee of trying “to achieve some sort of notoriety and gain for herself in this lawsuit.” Imagine arguing that with a straight face after you had a child with a Kardashian.

    She’s a fool.

  2. bettyrose says:

    Can we get some receipts on Tristan ever telling Khloe he wanted to be exclusive with her?

  3. MerlinsMom1018 says:

    2 things:
    Jordan Craig must be laughing her ass off at Khloe
    Those poor kids

  4. Merricat says:

    A change of character isn’t like getting a new nose.

  5. ME says:

    Why does he stay with Khloe? It doesn’t seem like he loves her or even cares about her. She doesn’t even seem like his type at all. I don’t understand. Does he get a thrill out of the humiliation and drama he causes? Does he like the fact he can control Khloe’s emotions because the girl has no self-respect?

    • Zappos Brannigan says:

      The stability of having someone at home that will handle the grown-up emotional labour part of life combined with the thrill of chasing new women ( take as old as time)

    • Laura says:

      I think it’s self preservation. He was nobody before Khloe attached herself to him. Tristan loves the opportunities available to him attached to a Khloe but has no intrest in her beyond that.
      Khloe needs to accept that babies don’t equate relationships.

  6. Murphy says:

    Hey Kylie I hope you appreciate Khloe embarrassing the heck out of herself (again) by rehashing this Tristan crap (again) to provide deflection for Astro World.

  7. Lynne says:

    Was there ever a time that he said he is exclusive with Khloe? Other than pics of sent b-day flowers.
    I think he does what a lot of kardashian Bfs do, they are with them for publicity. They used each other.

  8. Andrew's Nemesis says:

    Her self-esteem must be rock-bottom. He’s a good looking man, but that’s where it ends – and using internalised misogyny to attack other women, particularly a very young woman, is as noxious as it gets.
    When will this family finally disappear?

  9. L4Frimaire says:

    She needs to move on from him and just co-parent from a distance. She keeps going after these women but they’re not the problem, he is.

    • BothSidesNow says:

      Yes, and she is just enforcing Tristans abuse against these women. Shame on Khloe for going after his side chicks. And she was a side chick too!! Nothing like the kettle calling after the pot!!

      The entire family is trash. How the hell they became so famous is beyond me……oh that’s right, Madame Jenner leaked Kim’s sex tape!! Nothing like exploiting your children!

  10. VegasSchmegas says:

    That whole Klan is messy……

  11. J ferber says:

    He will only change if he wants to– and he has shown ad nauseum that he does not want to.

  12. Val says:

    Are we ignoring when she was TOTALLY engaged to him with that massive diamond ring that she totally bought herself? Girl is delusional. Poor children.

  13. why? says:

    Kris’ Plan A: Distract from the Astroworld lawsuits with Tristan and Khloe drama and then when that doesn’t work, leak stories and staged photos of Kim and Pete.

    When the reality shows first started Khloe came off as a sympathetic person, but throughout the years she has demonstrated that she is just as bad as the rest of her sisters. From lying about getting Covid just to shill products to bullying Chloe Moretz(she posted an inappropriate photo of a woman in a red bikini and then claimed that it was Chloe).

    It’s interesting how the press has rewritten Tristan and Khloe’s narrative, erasing that Tristan had a pregnant girlfriend when Khloe started sleeping with him and then depicting Khloe as a victim even though she has a history of cheating with her friend’s boyfriends. The press needs to stop falling for Kris’ cons and accept that Khloe is, was, and will always be nothing more than Tristan’s sidechick. She’s not his girlfriend or even in an open relationship with him, which explains why Tristan feels so free to sleep with other women even though Kris is spinning the “back together” narratives in the press. Kris and Khloe are upset because they can’t control Tristan the way that they control Rob, Scott, Younes, Kayne, and Pete; the presence of the other sidechicks is ruining Kris’ “committed relationship” narrative; the Kardashians are hypocrites(they have no problem with the man’s cheating until he does it to them), and even though the press has lost interest in the Astroworld deaths, the lawsuits just aren’t going away as fast as Kris would like.

    Tristan wants to put a gag order on Marlee, but allow Kris and Khloe to keep leaking information about Marlee and the baby to People and Page Six?

    • why? says:

      I spoke too soon, Kris’ plan B(to distract from the Astroworld lawsuits) was to buy Kim a PCA fashion icon award and then remind everyone that she and her daughters used Kayne to open up doors in the fashion world that they wouldn’t have had access to had Kim not inserted herself in Kayne and Amber Rose’s relationship.

    • why? says:

      I spoke too soon. Kris’ final attempt to distract from Astroworld did involve Kim; however, it was exploiting Kayne instead of Pete. Kris bought Kim a PC fashion icon award and then she had Kim admit that they used Kayne to access opportunities in the fashion world that weren’t available to them.

    • Fabiola says:

      What do the Astroworld lawsuits have to do with the Kardashians? They’re not in any of the lawsuits. They’re not involved in the concert. If Travis loses all his money, who cares. Kylie is a millionaire or billionaire. It doesn’t affect her.

  14. Bros says:

    I apologize for my ignorance on TT but can someone fill me in on who he is and what he does? Is he a professional athlete? What did she do to the two jordans? I see there are a couple kardashian family historians on here so please do give us a history lesson for the rest of us who want to snark but are tilting at windmills, ignorant of the details.

    • Krystina says:

      @Bros
      TT is a basketball player. He got his ex Jordan Craig pregnant, then got with Khloe. Got her pregnant, then cheated on her with Jordyn Woods. Khloe went after Jordyn and tried to ruin her, instead of dealing with her cheating-a$$ baby dady.

  15. Lucille says:

    She’s so delusional and lives in an alternate reality. To be fair some of her sisters do too but she’s definitely the worst out of them. All she wanted was a tall pretty black guy who would give her kids and she ignored all the warning signs right from the beginning. I have zero respect for women like her.
