Though Tristan made several attempts to mend his relationship with Khloe, the two ultimately called it quits for good in late 2021. Their breakup came shortly after the NBA athlete welcomed son Theo, now 4, with Maralee Nichols as he and Khloe were preparing for Tatum’s arrival via surrogate.

Despite the fact Khloe was hurt by her ex’s past actions, she has maintained a good co-parenting relationship with the athlete. In fact, the former pair even live close to each other so that Tristan—who is also dad to son Prince Oliver, 9, with ex-girlfriend Jordan Craig—can be fully present for their kids.

“What I find so funny is that people are always like, ‘How do you let Tristan back in?’” Khloe said during a November episode of her podcast. “And I’m like, ‘Well, Tristan is not back in.’ He’s just the father of my kids, so he’s going to be around his kids and I’m really grateful that he is.” 

“I love that he has a great relationship with his kids,” she added. “That’s a beautiful blessing and I’m never going to get in the way of that. I think it’s so important for that relationship to maintain and be as strong as possible.”
