“No matter what Khloe and Tristan are going through or the status of their relationship,” the source reiterated, “it has never affected True’s relationship with Tristan or the time she gets with him.”

Trying for more. 

In a just-released Keeping Up With the Kardashians bonus scene from the recently concluded final season, Khloe Kardashian seeks advice from sister Kim Kardashian about using a surrogate to have a second child with Tristan Thompson. Khloe is already mom to three-year-old daughter True Thompson, and while she and Tristan just split again amidst a cheating scandal earlier this week on June 21, Khloe is excited to expand her family with the NBA player prior to the shocking split.

The clip gives more insight into Khloe’s passion for having another child. But first Kim opens up about a number two of her own: one that clogged the toilet, no less. 

“Guys, I don’t know what to do,” Kim says with a laugh. “I went number two in that bathroom and it won’t flush. It’s really embarrassing. I was going to blame it on Kendall [Jenner], I should have done that.”

Khloe then starts a tough conversation about her inability to carry another baby and the stress of finding the right surrogate.

“Dr. A just said it probably wasn’t the best idea for me to carry,” Khloe starts. “What is your opinion on me doing the surrogate?” 

Kim honestly explains her experience with surrogacy for Chicago West. “The first time was so scary,” Kim reveals. “I did a FaceTime first and then I invited them over for dinner with their two kids and Kanye [West] and her husband. I wanted to meet them all face-to-face. I wanted to feel and see if this energy would was going to work for us. She was amazing and her husband was so great.”

E!

Kourtney Kardashian chimes in with her own advice. “I think it depends even what they watch on TV,” she adds. Scott Disick clarifies that Kourtney is referring to media intake “while the baby is in the womb.”

Khloe responds, “I don’t think what you watch has anything to do with it, but I really do believe what you eat because you’re feeding it to your kid.” 

Kim assures Khloe that she will “find the right person,” as well as help sort through applicants.

Kim concludes with one last tip for Khloe: “I think the right thing to do is to have them come see the baby before they leave,” she explains, citing that the birth mother even could send breast milk for the newborn. 

Kourtney gives her final two cents. “It’s, like, bizarre,” the mother of three notes.

Tristan Thompson Granted $50,000 in Libel Lawsuit Involving Paternity Accuser Kimberly Alexander

Tristan Thompson was granted more than $50,000 in a default judgment in a lawsuit against Kimberly Alexander, who said he fathered her 5-year-old son. He argued his paternity test came back negative.

Watch: Khloe Kardashian & Tristan Thompson: What Went Wrong This Time?

Tristan Thompson has scored in the court of law. The basketball player, 30, won a conditional default judgment in a libel lawsuit against a woman that he said falsely claimed he fathered her son.

Kimberly Alexander was ordered to pay him $50,000 in general damages and $2,901.95 in costs, in a conditional default judgment issued on Tuesday, June 22.

Thompson filed his lawsuit against Alexander in May 2020, after she claimed he is the father of her 5-year-old son. (He is, in fact, dad to 4-year-old Prince Thompson with Jordan Craig and 3-year-old True Thompson with Khloe Kardashian).

“Plaintiff contends DNA test results revealed he is not the father,” according to the judgment obtained by E! News. 

He originally requested $100,000 in damages for “damages for loss of reputation, shame, mortification, and hurt feelings,” and Thompson testified that he had not received an endorsement deal since January 2020. However, the judge found there was “insufficient evidence” that Alexander’s accusations were the cause and granted him $50,000 instead, per the court document.

The judge’s ruling is conditional and relies on Tristan filing a dismissal of 10 additional, anonymous Doe defendants that he believed to be “responsible in some manner” for the damages.

Before suing Alexander, both Thompson and Kardashian sent a cease and desist letter in May 2020 to ask that she “immediately stop defaming them with malicious defamatory lies and specious fabrications.” The letter also said that Thompson took a paternity test that came back negative.

In response to the cease and desist letter, Alexander told E! News, “I feel like the whole issue originally stemmed from Tristan not wanting to choose a neutral setting for the DNA testing and using a Kardashian-associated DNA Testing facility. I feel as if you really have nothing to hide then why not just go to a neutral testing site. And we both know what happened and exactly what went on between us, that’s all I can say for now.”

The athlete’s lawyer alleged in last year’s lawsuit that Alexander is “wannabe social media influencer and pornographic model/performer who is so desperate to achieve her fifteen minutes of fame that she recently fabricated a false claim that NBA star/Cleveland Cavaliers center/power forward Thompson is the father of her nearly five year old son.” 

Thompson’s attorney Marty Singer said she has “persisted in publicly proclaiming” that Thompson is her child’s father and “she has maliciously accused Thompson of being a deadbeat dad, ‘neglecting’ and failing to take financial responsibility for the child since birth. Such statements are absolutely false and are defamatory per se.”

Kardashian stood by him during the paternity rumors. 

“Khloe obviously gets upset when rumors are spread about Tristan being unfaithful, but the dust has settled a bit and they are still together,” an insider close to her told E! News earlier this month. “Khloe is standing by Tristan.”

Yet, this week, multiple sources confirmed to E! News that Kardashian and the Boston Celtics star have split.

E! News has reached out to his attorney for comment on the libel suit.

Khloe Kardashian Spotted for the First Time Since Tristan Thompson Breakup

Khloe Kardashian and daughter True Thompson stepped out in Los Angeles after E! News confirmed she broke up with Tristan Thompson "very recently."

Watch: Khloe Kardashian & Tristan Thompson: What Went Wrong This Time?

Khloe Kardashian is keeping her head held high after her latest breakup from Tristan Thompson.

In her first sighting since splitting from the basketball player, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star stepped out with 3-year-old daughter True Thompson on Monday, June 21. The mother-daughter duo were photographed in the Los Angeles, where Khloe was spotted without the large diamond ring that has been a wardrobe staple in recent months.

The Good American co-founder has sported the rock on her wedding finger since February, but it seems Khloe has put the accessory away for the time being. Instead, she complimented her all-black athleisure ensemble with a Prada fanny pack, oversized sunglasses and white Nikes.

Khloe’s outing with True coincided with the news that she and the Boston Celtics player had split up. On Monday, a source told E! News that Khloe broke up with Tristan “very recently.”

The insider explained, “Khloe is very levelheaded when it comes to True and the relationship True has with her dad, so she will undoubtedly make every effort to ensure that Tristan and True continue to have the same amounts of time that he’s always had with her.”

The two successfully co-parented True prior to their reconciliation last October, when Khloe decided to give him a second chance. According to a source, Tristan “bent over backwards to be with her” and Khloe gave in after he “apologized over and over.”

“Tristan is committed to doing things differently and not messing up,” the insider said at the time. “Khloe is hopeful about their future together and has seen a big change in him.”
