- She reminded followers that family ties endure beyond romantic status.
- Her top priority, she said, is her children.
Khloé closed the exchange with holiday wishes and a reminder that co-parenting guides her decisions.
The long, turbulent timeline of their relationship
Their on-and-off saga stretches back years and features several public betrayals, reconciliations, and legal revelations.
How it began and the first public upheaval
The couple’s relationship went public mid-decade and Khloé announced a pregnancy in early 2018.
Just before the birth, footage surfaced showing Thompson with another woman. The timing intensified scrutiny and family concern.
Multiple scandals that tested the relationship
- 2019: Allegations that Thompson was involved with a close friend of the family sparked a major fallout.
- 2021: A paternity claim by a personal trainer brought another scandal and a confirmed child from Thompson.
- Between incidents, the pair repeatedly reconciled and separated.
Births and surrogacy amid turmoil
Their daughter was born in spring 2018, and later the couple expanded their family via a surrogate. Sources reported the surrogate pregnancy occurred before one of Thompson’s public scandals.
Where things stand now: co-parenting, not coupledom
Current reports indicate the two are no longer romantically involved.
- They continue to co-parent their daughter and son, maintaining an amicable public stance.
- They welcomed a son in mid-2022 through a surrogate arrangement.
- A source told media they had not resumed a romantic relationship and mostly communicate about parenting.
Family reactions and public opinion
Khloé’s choices have often drawn concern from family members and fans. Insiders previously urged her to seek family support during crises.
Despite objections, she has at times prioritized keeping the family unit intact for her children’s sake. That tension between loyalty and caution continues to play out publicly.
Major moments that shaped public perception
- 2018: Cheating allegations emerged days before the birth of their daughter.
