Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson are expecting their second child together. The big baby news broke this week, and fans were stunned to learn that the former couple would welcome another baby together via surrogate. So, let’s unpack all the juicy details.
Khloe confirmed the news through her rep, revealing that she is expecting a second child, conceived in November 2021, per People Magazine.
“We can confirm True will have a sibling who was conceived in November,” Khloe’s rep said in a statement. “Khloé is incredibly grateful to the extraordinary surrogate for such a beautiful blessing. We’d like to ask for kindness and privacy so that Khloe can focus on her family,” the statement continued.
Khloe and Tristan conceived the baby before the NBA star’s paternity scandal
This means that the baby was conceived before Khloe found out that Tristan had fathered another baby with a woman named Maralee Nichols. Maralee gave birth to Tristan’s son in December 2021.
However, this doesn’t mean that Khloe and Tristan are getting back together. Sources tell the outlet that they’ve only been in contact regarding co-parenting issues since the paternity scandal broke in December.
“Khloe and Tristan are not back together and have not spoken since December outside of co-parenting matters. The baby was conceived via surrogate before it was revealed to Khloe and the public that Tristan was having a baby with someone else in December.”
Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson are reportedly expecting a baby boy
In addition, sources tell Page Six that Khloe and Tristan are expecting a baby boy, and that the reality star is overjoyed about giving her daughter True Thompson a little brother.
“Khloé has always wanted a little brother for True and decided to go ahead with having the baby with the support of her family,” a source revealed to the outlet.
Fans are extremely happy for Khloe as she’s expressed her want for more children in the past. Although she and Tristan aren’t together romantically, they already co-parent their daughter True together and seem to get along when it comes to parenting issues. So, adding another little one to the mix may not cause too much drama within their family unit.
The baby should be arriving soon
Of course, fans are hoping that they’ll get to see more about Khloe’s surrogacy journey during Season 2 of “The Kardashians” on Hulu.
Because her baby was conceived back in November, the little bundle of joy should be making its way into the world within the next few weeks. Of course, fans can’t wait to see him and hear what name the Good American founder has picked out this time around.
