A year after news that Maralee Nichols was having Tristan's child, an insider tells us how Khloe feels about co-parenting with the father of her two little ones.

The on-off couple looked happy and relaxed as they joined members of the Kardashian clan for the private screening. Khloe and pro basketball player Tristan were first linked in 2016 when they were spotted spending time together at a nightclub, and they later took a vacation in Mexico. The two confirmed that they were dating that same year and remained very close through much of 2017. The reality television personality eventually confirmed that she was pregnant with the athlete's child that December through a post made to her Instagram account. Kardashian revealed that she was expecting a girl during an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians that aired the following year. In 2018, it was reported that Thompson was spotted kissing multiple women in several locations, which surprised the clothing designer. That year, she gave birth to True, and the parents later reconciled following the child's birth. Although the two appeared to be going strong in their new roles as parents, the basketball player, just traded to the Sacramento Kings in California, was later caught cheating with several other women, and the two split up in February of 2019. The pair appeared to mend their relationship over the course of that year and were reportedly on good terms by the beginning of 2020. The parents quarantined together during the early stages of the pandemic, and their romance was eventually resumed last August. Earlier this year, it was reported that the couple was planning on expanding their family in the future, although no solid plans have been revealed as of yet. This past June, it was revealed that Kardashian and Thompson had separated, although they were said to still be on good terms at the time of their split. 12 Aug 2021 Pictured: Tristan Thompson, Khloe Kardashian and daughter True.

Moving forward. Khloe Kardashian is ready to co parent her two little ones with Tristan Thompson, according to a source close to the Good American co-founder — even after his paternity scandal rocked their growing family. “Khloe still wants Tristan there for the special moments, she feels it’s important for her kids to have those memories with him and bond,” the source told HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY about the reality icon’s feelings on co-parenting with the NBA great. “She’s aware that people are going to have opinions about her inviting him around but she’s not going to let that stop her from doing what’s best for her kids.”

That doesn’t mean, however, that finding out that Tristan had a baby boy, Theo, with Maralee Nichols in December 2021 wasn’t painful. After Khloe made the decision to have her second child via surrogate, also a boy, with Tristan, fitness model Maralee, 31, announced last November that she was giving birth to the basketball star’s child. Paternity was proven in January. Khloe, Tristan, and big sister True Thompson, 4, welcomed their new little one on August 5.

“It actually took a lot of strength for her to be able to put aside her own anger and pain and allow for him to be there for Halloween with the kids,” the insider continued. “It certainly isn’t easy for her, but she’s doing it because him having a bond with their children is more important to her than letting her own feelings run the show. Does it make it easy for her? No, but she doesn’t care because the happiness of her children comes above all else.”

Khloe and Tristan have kept details about their little guy, now three months old, close to the vest. But on a Kelly Clarkson Show appearance in late October, Khloe discussed the ongoing speculation about his name. “My daughter says his name is Snowy,” Khloe said. “It’s not Snowy, so that’s the hint. I swear she does things just to mess with me. But his name is not Snowy.”

Tristan also shares son Prince Oliver, 5, with ex Jordan Craig.
