In the wake of her tumultuous relationship with NBA player Tristan Thompson, reality TV star Khloé Kardashian appears to be taking a step back from the dating scene. Sources close to the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" alum have revealed that she hasn't been involved with anyone since her split from Thompson and is seemingly unenthusiastic about the prospect of dating anew.
Khloé's hesitancy to re-enter the dating world is understandable, given the multiple instances of infidelity she endured during her relationship with Thompson. The couple, who share two children, True, 5, and Tatum, 1, have had their fair share of ups and downs, with Thompson's betrayals often making headlines.
An insider shared, “She’s always been a sexual person, but it’s like Tristan’s betrayal has shut that part of her down or something.”
The source further added that while friends and family have encouraged Khloé to find a casual relationship, she seems more content spending time with her children. “The reality of dating makes her anxious,” the insider revealed. “She’d rather just stay home and play with her kids.”
The couple's relationship has been a rollercoaster of emotions, with multiple breakups and reconciliations. Their first major public scandal occurred when Thompson was caught cheating with Kylie Jenner's former friend, Jordyn Woods. Despite the betrayal, the couple managed to reconcile during the pandemic. However, the final straw came when news broke that Thompson had fathered a child with Maralee Nichols. Confirming the rumors, Thompson publicly acknowledged his paternity and issued a heartfelt apology to Khloé, stating, "Khloé, you don't deserve this. You don't deserve the heartache and humiliation I have caused you."
Despite the challenges, Khloé and Thompson have been focused on co-parenting their children amicably. In a recent episode of "The Kardashians," Khloé opened up about her feelings towards Thompson, stating, "Yeah, I forgive Tristan, but that doesn't mean I forget what he's done." She further emphasized the importance of moving on for her own well-being, adding, "I forgive Tristan for me because I've got to let that s--- go. I need to for myself. I can't move on with my life if I'm holding onto this bulls---."
As Khloé navigates her journey of healing and self-discovery, fans and well-wishers hope she finds the happiness and peace she deserves. Whether she chooses to date again or focus solely on her children, her resilience and strength continue to inspire many.
