In a recent episode of "The Kardashians," Khloe Kardashian addressed the challenging situation involving her ex-boyfriend Tristan Thompson and his son, Theo, born out of an extramarital affair with Maralee Nichols in 2021. This revelation came amid the backdrop of Khloe and Tristan's attempt to navigate co-parenting their own child, Tatum, born just seven months after Theo.

Khloe, 39, acknowledged the impact of infidelity on her family dynamics, emphasizing that actions affecting one member resonate throughout. In the episode, she expressed her family's entitlement to their feelings, emphasizing the gravity of the situation. Tristan, 32, responded with an understanding nod, recognizing the lasting consequences of his actions. Khloe conveyed that time had passed, acknowledging the emotional toll on her children—Tatum and Theo. While forgiveness might not be immediate, emotions had settled.
Unbeknownst to Khloe, Tristan impregnated Maralee in March 2021. Despite learning about the pregnancy as early as July 2021, he kept it a secret, allowing Khloe to proceed with their surrogacy plans. An embryo transfer was successful in November 2021, coinciding with DailyMail.com's exclusive revelation about Tristan's impending fatherhood with Maralee. Theo was born in December 2021.
Initially denying paternity, Tristan confirmed through an Instagram post in January 2022 that he was indeed Theo's father. He expressed the intent to co-parent amicably with Maralee, issuing an apology to Khloe for his actions. The apology was part of his efforts to reconcile after a history of infidelity, including cheating during Khloe's pregnancy with their daughter True in 2018.
In March, Khloe faced backlash for publicly praising Tristan on his 32nd birthday, acknowledging him as the "best father." The criticism stemmed from her sharing photos of Tristan with True and Tatum while the world remained unaware of Theo's existence. The couple had conceived Tatum through a surrogate, and their relationship unraveled when news of Tristan's secret child emerged.

Social media erupted with criticism, questioning Khloe's characterization of Tristan as the "best father" given his apparent neglect of Theo. Twitter users expressed bewilderment, labeling the situation as a 'humiliation kink' and pointing out Tristan's abandonment of one of his children. Some suggested that Khloe had overlooked the existence of Theo, urging her to turn off comments on her Instagram post.
