Khloe Kardashian allegedly wants Tristan Thompson co-parenting their new child and does not consider themselves a single mother.
The reality star is expecting a baby via surrogate with NBA star Tristan, with the news announced earlier this week.
The baby was conceived in November, before Tristan took a paternity test and turned out to have conceived a baby with another womanand the birth is said to be ‘imminent’.
His son, Theo, was born to Maralee Nichols in December; he also shares five-year-old son Prince with Jordan Craig.
Khloe and Tristan also share four-year-old daughter Trueand Khloe was devastated when a paternity test revealed he had fathered a child with another woman.
Despite this, Khloe would like Tristan to get involved in their child’s life and be the new arrival “co-parent” as he does with daughter True.
A source told People that Khloe doesn’t see herself as a “single mom” and expects Tristan to be there for her and the child when they need him.
“Just like they do with True, Khloe will be raising the baby with Tristan,” the source said.
They added: “Tristan is the dad and Khloe wants to get him involved as much as possible. He’s great with True.’
Elsewhere, a source has indicated that AND! news worrying about Khloe’s mental health is one of the reasons the Kardashians star kept the pregnancy under wraps.
They said she was keeping the pregnancy a secret “to protect her sanity from public judgment as a result of Tristan’s actions.”
In addition, the source said the pregnancy was being kept quiet “to protect the privacy and safety of the surrogate mother.”
A rep for Khloe told Metro.co.uk on Wednesday: “We can confirm that True will have a sibling conceived in November.
Khloe is incredibly grateful to the extraordinary surrogate for such a beautiful blessing. We want to ask for kindness and privacy so Khloe can focus on her family.”
Khloe split from Tristan after a false scandal, which unfolded on the famed family’s reality series about Hulu, and the pair are currently not together.
The TV show revealed that Khloe only heard that Tristan was unfaithful to her again when the rest of the world did?which she called “an extra slap in the face.”
And in June, Khloe was forced to set the record straight on rumors that she was dating NBA star Tristan again.
She wrote on a Kardashians fan page that the rumors were “absolutely NOT true.”
‘Thank you for the nice wishes, but I don’t see a soul. I’ll focus on my daughter and myself for a while,” she said.
The reality TV icon, 38, has been in an on-again, off-again relationship with the sports star, 31, since 2016.
Maralee Nichols, 31, revealed in December that she had given birth to a baby boy, Theo, after having an affair with the NBA star while he was still dating Khloe.
He had initially denied that the child was his, but later apologized publicly to Khloe after a paternity test revealed he was the father.
