Khloé Kardashian says she 'couldn't really face going home' after Tristan Thompson cheated on her days before she gave birth

• Khloé Kardashian says she couldn't "face going home" after Tristan Thompson's cheating scandal.
• Kardashian was days away from giving birth when tabloids published videos of him with other women.
• Thompson also reportedly kissed Jordyn Woods at a house party less than a year later.

Khloé Kardashian said she "couldn't really face going home" to her family in Los Angeles after reports surfaced that Tristan Thompson had cheated on her days before she gave birth to their daughter, True, in Cleveland, Ohio.

On April 10, 2018, TMZ published surveillance footage of Thompson kissing two women in Washington DC, reportedly captured in October of the previous year. Around the same time, The Daily Mail and TMZ also released more recent intimate pictures and videos of the NBA star with a woman in New York, reportedly taken that April weekend. Kardashian was heavily pregnant with True when the reports were published and she gave birth only a few days later, on April 12.

Kardashian opened up about the "strange" week leading up to True's birth on part two of her family's reunion chat with TV host Andy Cohen, which aired Sunday night and took a closer look back at "Keeping Up With The Kardashians." The long-running E! reality show about the Kardashian-Jenner family came to an end on June 10 after 14 years and 20 dramatic seasons.

"The circumstances - it's so hard to explain," Kardashian said of finding out about Thompson cheating on her. "I'm now in Cleveland, stuck here. I'm in this media storm."

Thompson played for the Cleveland Cavaliers NBA team for nine years, from 2011 to 2020. California native Kardashian briefly relocated to the Ohio city during her relationship with Thompson to be closer to him.

"I couldn't really face going home either. I felt so overwhelmed," Kardashian continued telling Cohen, adding that she believed that if she had gone home to Los Angeles, she would have been followed around by "all this paparazzi" and people asking questions about her and Thompson's relationship.

She added: "I needed to just be alone with my daughter. And it was the best thing I did, was having three months alone with True."

Kardashian told Cohen that she allowed Thompson to be in the delivery room with her during True's birth, despite the then-recent reports of the basketball player's infidelity, because the Good American founder wanted their daughter "to have these moments" with Thompson.

While the two moved past Thompson's infidelity and continued to have a relationship after True was born, Thompson was spotted kissing Kylie Jenner's best friend, Jordyn Woods, at a house party less than a year later in February 2019.

Kardashian blamed Woods for her subsequent break-up with Thompson, publicly calling Woods out as "the reason my family broke up." However, Woods said during a "Red Table Talk" appearance in March 2019 that she only shared a quick kiss with Thompson while leaving the party.

Despite their rocky relationship history, Kardashian appeared to confirm during Sunday's chat with Cohen that she is now back together with Thompson, though she didn't say so directly and clarified that they hadn't reunited while the final season of "KUWTK" was filming.

Kardashian spoke warmly about the steps Thompson had taken in the past year to prove his loyalty to her and their daughter.

"I know the growth and all the work he's done. I know all the help he's got and the constant effort he makes every single day and how hard he worked to get back with me currently," Kardashian told Cohen about Thompson, who she also called "a great dad" to True.
