- Khloé Kardashian revealed in the finale of "The Kardashians" that Tristan Thompson's cheating is "humiliating."
- News broke last year that Thompson had again cheated on Kardashian, later fathering a child.
Khloé Kardashian revealed in the season finale of "The Kardashians" that Tristan Thompson's repeated infidelity is "despicable" and "humiliating," later adding that she's eventually become "immune" to it.
During Thursday's "The Kardashians," the 37-year-old reality star, who parents a 4-year-old daughter with Thompson, discovered that the NBA star had fathered a child with another woman in December 2021. The two have been in an on-again, off-again relationship since 2016.
Khloé discovered the infidelity thanks to court papers her older sister, Kim, found. During a confessional on the Hulu series, Khloé complained about the fact that Thompson couldn't even tell her before it was blasted in headlines.
"I find out what Tristan is doing with the rest of the world," Khloé said, later questioning why Thompson couldn't even give her a "fucking heads up before the rest of the world? It's just an additional slap in my face. It's humiliating, I'm embarrassed."
She continued: "I'm replaying every event, every grand gesture, every trip, every date … all of that was a lie. I feel just not really in my own body, these things are just happening and I'm going through the motions. But when things happen to you a few times, you do kinda become immune to them, which is really sad."
As previously reported by Insider's Palmer Haasch, in the ninth episode of "The Kardashians," Kim was working out early in the morning when she learned that Thompson had cheated on her sister. Kim had obtained court documents that said Thompson had fathered a child with fitness instructor Maralee Nichols, who was suing him for child support. The NBA player then requested a paternity test, reported E! News.
Thompson said in legal filings that he had sex with Nichols on his birthday in March 2021 when he and Kardashian were dating, E! News reported last December. The basketball player later announced in January that a paternity test had confirmed him to be the father of Nichols' child.
Khloé later said in the episode that she reached out to Thompson after discovering his infidelity but "it was more yelling on my end."
The reality star said she's now focused on co-parenting their daughter, True, to the best of her ability.
"True FaceTimes him every night. I don't speak, he talks to True," she said. "And True will never know anything's wrong in my book, ever. I've done this before. I know how to do it."
Insider reached out to Thompson, but didn't immediately hear back.
"The Kardashians" is now streaming on Hulu.
