Khloé Kardashian recently opened up about her daughter, True, and her relationship with her father, Tristan Thompson, revealing that the six-year-old currently believes that her parents are still married. This misconception, according to Khloé, stems from the fact that True does not fully understand the complexities of her parents’ relationship status. Khloé shared these insights during an episode of The Kardashians, explaining that she feels it’s important to shield her daughter from the details of adult problems. Khloé explained, “Kids should not be involved in adult issues.”

In the episode, Khloé candidly discussed how she has handled her relationship with Tristan since their split in 2021. Despite their breakup, True continues to believe that her parents are married. Khloé’s close friend, Malika Haqq, agreed with this approach, saying that it’s likely better for True not to understand the situation at this point. “It’s not like she would really understand, and it’s okay,” Malika added, expressing her belief that protecting children from difficult adult realities is the right course of action.

Khloé also opened up about the importance of teaching her children values such as marriage and love. “I get married, have kids—that’s what I want to teach her,” Khloé shared. She explained that motherhood has given her a new perspective on life and what’s truly important. Despite the public drama surrounding her relationship with Tristan, Khloé remains focused on giving True a stable and loving environment to grow up in.

Khloé and Tristan’s relationship has been far from smooth. While the couple was never officially married, their romance was highly publicized and filled with ups and downs. The relationship hit a major setback in 2019 when Tristan was caught cheating with Jordyn Woods, a close family friend. This scandal was followed by the revelation that Tristan had fathered a child with another woman, further deepening the betrayal Khloé felt.

To complicate matters even more, Khloé and Tristan were expecting their second child together, a son named Tatum, via surrogate around the same time the cheating scandal came to light. Khloé admitted that she had been struggling emotionally since December, describing the period as a “dark cloud” that hung over her every day. She confessed to feeling “depressed and sad,” but now, with the birth of her son, Khloé feels like she is finally able to move forward and embrace personal growth.

Despite the challenges, Khloé is committed to creating a positive future for her children. She expressed concerns about the example she might be setting for True when it comes to relationships and marriage. “I don’t want True growing up thinking this is what a marriage is like—where you’re married to someone, but they don’t live with you, you don’t kiss them, and you don’t sleep in the same bed,” she explained. Khloé shared her hope that one day, her children will witness love, affection, and romance in a healthy, committed relationship. “I would love my kids to see me have a husband one day,” Khloé said, emphasizing her desire for True and her son to grow up in an environment filled with love and respect.

Khloé’s journey through motherhood and her complicated relationship with Tristan shows her resilience and determination to protect her children while also striving for personal happiness and growth.
