Kim Kardashian and Tristan Thompson have remained close friends despite the NBA player’s breakup with her sister Khloe Kardashian. Some fans have questioned the pair’s friendship over the past year, and eyebrows have continued to raise eyebrows as they spend more and more time together.
Kim Kardashian and Tristan Thompson’s relationship raises eyebrows
Kim Kardashian and Tristan Thompson have made no secret that they’ve grown close over the past few years. The basketball player previously dated Kim’s younger sister, Khloe Kardashian. However, things didn’t go well in the relationship. The athlete was busted cheated on several occasions, including during the times when he and Khloe were preparing to welcome their two children, daughter True and son Tatum. However, that hasn’t deterred Kim from remaining close to her sister’s baby daddy, and fans have a lot of questions.
When asked about her friendship with Tristan on “The Kardashians,” Kim opened up about the relationship. “It’s so crazy because he’s such a good friend and he’s such a good dad, but he just couldn’t get it together in that area of, like, being a faithful boyfriend,” she stated. “You wanna obviously hate him for that,” she continued. “Yeah, of course his actions and who he was, like, so f—ed up — I can’t deny that.”
Kim Kardashian went on to reveal that she and Tristan Thompson have had plenty of conversations about his behavior towards Khloe Kardashian. Now, they’ve squared things away. “We’ve had our talks about it, and we’ve had our fights about it, and we’ve had our arguments about it,” she said. “But he’s also shown so many decent things and just has been a really good person and friend.” Kim even admitted that Tristan has been there for her and her children amid her divorce from Kanye West.

Fans are very confused by Kim and Tristan’s relationship
Some fans have spoken out about Kim and Tristan’s connection online. While some don’t see a problem with their friendship, others find it confusing. “I used to think that it was Kanye fault for the divorce but Kim praising Tristan and still behaving like a “pick me” smh, now I see the reason,” one person tweeted. “The fact that Kim considers herself friends with Tristan AND that she told Kourtney that they have a group chat without her to talk behind her back. Both those things do not sit well with me,” another commented.
Meanwhile, Khloe Kardashian is said to be upset by her sister’s closeness with Tristan Thompson. “They’re definitely close, and they don’t try to hide it — even from Khloé. It stings,” a source told OK! Magazine. “The last thing Khloé wants to see is the man who cheated on her stepping out with her sister. Kim is hitting the town with Tristan while Khloé is home taking care of the kids,” the source continued. “She’s furious. Who can blame her for feeling completely betrayed? It’s humiliating.”
All the while, Khloe has remained very close to Kourtney Kardashian’s ex-boyfriend, Scott Disick. The two have a very strong bond and have even been seen getting flirty with one another. In addition, Kim Kardashian previously had a very close relationship with Kourtney’s current husband Travis Barker in the past as well. It seems to all be part of the dramatic Kardashian dynamic.
