FANS are convinced Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson were secretly engaged before Maralee Nichols’ love child scandal.
And they say the the proof was right in front of us all this time.
Khloe and Tristan, who recently admitted they are expecting another child through a surrogate, have been together for over two years.
But their relationship came to an end last year after the NBA player admitted… to conceive a child with personal trainer Maralee.
Now, months later, fans have flooded an online chat room with evidence that their relationship was further along than revealed.
Under a topic headline that asked if others believe the show will ever “discuss the fact that Koko and Trashcan were clearly engaged” before breaking up, the poster shared a series of old photos of Khloe with a giant ring on that finger.
‘s messages Khloe with the ring a finite amount of time, before the giant jewel suddenly disappears from future records.
“Wait, was she wearing this huge diamond ring and no one was speculating she was engaged?” someone comment.
Another person pointed out: “Remember when he texted Maralee that he was engaged and get married?”
“I think they got engaged in April and broke it off in June,” speculated one fan. “Crazy if you’re low in the Maralee timeline – was he trying to trap her?”
“The ring did have some meaning between them, I think,” added another. “Maybe a promise ring? Because it mysteriously disappeared after the scandal.”
And one fan wondered where Khloe and Tristan’s relationship would have evolved if Maralee was never part of the picture.
“I was thinking this morning about everything he’s robbed from her: a healthy relationship where she can feel safe and celebrate in public, an engagement announcement, a pregnancy announcement, a public baby shower.
“She’s been hiding all these milestones because he’s humiliated her over and over and she knows we’re all shaking our heads about it.”
REVEAL BABY
Earlier this week, Khloe’s rep confirmed that she is have a second child with Tristan through a surrogate.
The child was conceived in November, earlier Khloe heard about his love child.
“Khloe is incredibly grateful to the extraordinary surrogate for such a beautiful blessing,” her representative said.
Khloe and Tristan were on and off from 2016 to 2021, when the NBA star confessed to cheating on Khloe with fitness model Maralee.
Paternity tests later revealed he had fathered a child as a result of the affair.
Maralee claims that the Chicago Bulls player never met their son Theowhile he has called her a “gold digger” amid their nasty custody battle.
