Reality TV star Khloe Kardashian is finally setting the record straight on lingering romance rumors with her ex, Tristan Thompson, three years after their split.
During the February 20, 2025, episode of The Kardashians, Khloe opened up about her current dynamic with the NBA player and addressed a viral moment that ignited reconciliation speculation—her appearance at Tristan’s basketball game in Cleveland, Ohio, in May 2024.
In a candid conversation with close friend and co-star Scott Disick, Khloe admitted to feeling anxious about attending the game due to inevitable public scrutiny. She shared,
“I did have a lot of anxiety about going. More for like the public’s reaction. Which is so lame to say, because I knew I was going to get filmed”.
Despite her nerves, the Good American co-founder stood by her decision to attend, making it clear that her priorities were in the right place. She told Scott,
“But, I also was like, F**k this, I’m doing this for my kids, I’m doing this for my cousin. And I’m so happy we all did. We all had the best time”.

During the episode, Khloé set the record straight about her current relationship with Tristan, addressing the swirling speculation head-on. The reality star expressed her frustration over the constant assumptions and made it clear where they stand. She firmly stated,
“My family, my circle, they know that Tristan and I, we’re not together. I just didn’t want to hear it anymore… Whatever people were going to say. It’s like, Oh my gosh, enough of this”.
Just days before this candid revelation, Khloé reflected on Tristan’s infamous cheating scandal and the deep emotional toll it took on her. She opened up about the heartbreaking moment in April 2018—just two days before she gave birth to their daughter, True Thompson.
Recalling the painful experience on the January 29, 2025, episode of her podcast Khloé In Wonderland, she shared,
“And I remember when Tristan had an affair, it was public and I gave birth 48 hours later… I get sad if I ever see myself because I can tell I’m blank and it’s an out-of-body experience. I just went into autopilot… I’m not here, I was not present. But my body was there”.
