The season two premiere of The Kardashians focused on the birth of Khloé’s baby boy via surrogate — and the fallout from Tristan Thompson’s latest cheating scandal. On the show, several of her family members had the chance to candidly reveal what they think about him, and little sister Kendall Jenner did not hold back.
The timing of Tristan's scandal made things especially difficult for Khloé
Khloé didn’t find out about Tristan’s cheating scandal until the rest of the world did — something fans watched happen in the show’s first season — and by that point, her surrogate had already undergone an embryo transfer.
Since Tristan had been served with paperwork in a lawsuit involving Maralee Nichols’ pregnancy in July, he’d known for months that he was expecting a baby with another woman but stayed silent about it throughout the surrogacy process. Until that point, it seemed like he and Khloé were planning for a long-term future together.
Khloé's family was struggling with how to best help her
As her baby boy’s arrival got closer, Khloé was having a hard time getting excited about meeting him, given all the drama with Tristan — in fact, she wasn’t even sure she wanted to have a baby shower. This led to her mom and sisters meeting to discuss the situation, which included some candid discussions about what they really thought Tristan’s motives might be.
Kendall thought Tristan may have been trying to 'trap' Khloé
“[Tristan] was encouraging Khloé to go forward with this while [he] knew that that was also happening. It’s almost like he wanted to trap her,” Kendall said during her sit-down with the family.
It’s possible he was hoping Khloé wouldn’t find out until it was too late, which did happen … but as far as we can tell, it certainly didn’t keep Khloé from ending their romantic relationship.
The rest of the family seemed to have similar feelings
“Well, he wanted to hang onto her, for sure, and thought that maybe if they [had a baby], she would marry him,” Kris said.
In a confessional, Kylie added that she believed that Tristan’s actions were “unforgivable,” so it sounds like we won’t see him welcomed back into the Kardashian fold anytime soon.
Hopefully, Khloé is continuing to heal
Her baby boy will be turning 2 months old next week, so hopefully she’s settling into life as a mom of two now. We still don’t know much about her little one (including his name, which Khloé admitted she still hadn’t settled on when she left the hospital). But now that we know he’s out in the world, maybe she’ll start sharing more about him soon.
