Khloé Kardashian spoke about her and Tristan Thompson’s son for the first time since the news of the baby’s arrival via a surrogate.
“It’s an honor and a gift to be able to shape little people into truly incredible big people,” the 38-year-old “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” said of daughter True, 4, and her little brother in an Elle interview published Tuesday. . .
“I know it’s cliche, but I love everything, even the hard parts [of parenting]’ said the reality star. “It’s super scary, but I take my job very seriously.
“We need to take those roles seriously, especially in the current day and age with how much accessibility kids have and the information they’re exposed to at such a young age,” she continued.
Kardashian and Thompson conceived their son via surrogate in November 2021 – a month before Kardashian, 38, learned that the athlete, 31, was cheating on her with Maralee Nichols and fathered a son named Theo.
While the reality star kept her expanding family a secret, the news came on July 13 that she was expecting a son.
“Khloé is incredibly grateful to the extraordinary surrogate for such a beautiful blessing,” Kardashian’s representative told Vidak For Congress at the time. “We want to ask for kindness and privacy so that Khloé can focus on her family.”
An insider noted that the duo were no longer together, explaining: “Khloé and Tristan had the baby already in the works when the scandal hit. By then Khloé was like, ‘I’m going to do it alone.’”
Since Kardashian and the Canadian native started dating in 2016, their tumultuous relationship has been rocked by multiple cheating scandals.
After Thompson’s paternity scandal last year, the “Strong Looks Better Naked” author made it clear that the NBA player is “not the man for” her.
“I felt incredibly safe in the beginning and I felt really good for a while,” Los Angeles resident Robin Roberts told of their romance in an April interview.
“I still think he’s a great guy,” she clarified at the time. “And he’s a great father.”
Although news broke in June that Kardashian was dating a private equity investor Kim Kardashian had introduced her to, their relationship had “fizzled” by the time baby No. 2 arrived earlier this month.
