Though it’s been five years since Khloé Kardashian and Tristan Thompson called it quits in June 2021, we’re just now learning about all the stops the two pulled to try to keep their relationship going. And trust us when we tell you, folks on the internet are having a field day with this newfound information.
If you’ll remember, the former couple got together in 2016 before Thompson made his official debut on “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” the following year. However, despite their apparent attraction, deep love for one another, and the fact that they welcomed a child together in 2018—their relationship would soon be hit with controversy thanks to Thompson’s cheating allegations. To make matters worse, he was allegedly caught cheating just days before Kardashian gave birth to their child.
Sadly, this would only be the start of many other allegations that the former Cleveland Cavaliers player would face, with the messiest and most egregious incident allegedly taking place in 2019 with one of the family’s close friends, Jordyn Woods. However, by the time the pandemic touched down in 2020, it seemed as if Kardashian and Thompson were in a better place and working on rekindling their relationship.
By May 2021, the two had discussed potentially having another child together via surrogacy. Sadly, history would repeat itself as Thompson was outed for cheating and fathering a whole different child while he and the former “Revenge Body” host were expecting. They welcomed their second child in 2022.
Now, in a new interview on Kardashian’s “Khloe in Wonder Land” podcast, it looks like that attempt for a second child came with more strings attached to it than we thought. Sitting down with his ex in the episode, Thompson was asked if he wanted more kids in the future (he’s currently the father of four in total: two with Kardashian and two with two different women). That’s when the former NBA star revealed that he “signed off” on two embryos with Kardashian but that he’d gotten a vasectomy in the years since they had their second kid.
In response to that, Kardashian then shared that she essentially made him get the procedure done as an “ultimatum” of sorts for their relationship.
While Thompson didn’t expound further on her comment, he described himself as definitely being “stubborn,” “a little hardheaded at times,” and said that “sometimes you have to get forced into the right decision.” Ultimately, Thompson eventually “signed over” the embryos to Kardashian and “saved sperm” should he ever want to have more kids later on down the road.
“I mean, if I do have more kids, it’d be coming from you. I already have enough baby moms. I don’t want no more…No more kids, unless it’s coming from Khloé’s embryos,” Thompson said.
Umm, wow, OK. What an interesting dynamic these two have, right? So naturally, once clips of their interview began making the rounds on social media, many online couldn’t help but call out Kardashian for forcing her ex into getting a medical procedure (albeit reversible) and described it as a sad attempt at trying to rein in a man who was hellbent on cheating on her anyway.
“Khloe making Tristan get a vasectomy gives low self esteem energy;!” added one person on X/Twitter.
“She needs therapy not a podcast.. Deep down she’s still a girl that suffered from low self esteem even when she changed physically, mentally she remain the same. Heal and block this weirdo,” wrote one other user.
“I cannot believe she be letting this butch queen play in her face. Then gon have him get a vasectomy so he can still cheat, but not get the girls pregnant. Khloe is sooo stupid man,” said another.
“Imagine being down so bad that your only choice is to beg your man to get a vasectomy. Khloe my girl you were down BAD & now broadcasting this to the world will only lead to you being dribbled further,” one other user wrote.
One user added bluntly: “She needs to stop mocking Kourtney and go see Kourtney’s psychologist ASAP.”
