Khloe Kardashian 's fans are convinced the reality star already knew about Tristan Thompson 's infidelity before deciding to have a second child with him.
The Kardashians star, 38, confirmed on Wednesday she and her now ex-boyfriend Tristan, 31, are expecting a second child who will be born via a surrogate. The couple already share a four-year-old daughter, True Thompson.
Khloe and Tristan's new child was conceived in November, before Khloe discovered Tristan had been unfaithful and fathered a child, Theo, with personal trainer Maralee Nichols.
A representative for Khloe told the Mirror: "We can confirm True will have a sibling who was conceived in November." But fans have been left unconvinced by the timeline.
Khloe reportedly found about about the cheating scandal in December 2021 while filming her family's Hulu show The Kardashians.
Some fans have now been speculating Khloe actually knew about Tristan's affair much earlier, amid reports their baby could be born within days.
One fan tweeted: "Not trying to be messy but the math for Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson is giving "I knew sidechick was pregnant and I still wanted a baby" energy… Sis is still trying to win.. Who’s going to tell her there’s no winning with a man like that?"
Another said: "The timing of the Tristan story dropping in December of last year is also controlled by the Kardashians.. we know this cuz TMZ told us KJ controls timings. They 100% knew way before December and Khloe didn't care and still wanted her baby."
A third person wrote: "Maralee was dating Tristan in Boston and Khloe knew it. She was seen crying outside True's gym class and that is because she had found out about the baby. Long before her surrogate got pregnant."
One fan took to Reddit to point out Maralee sued Tristan for paternity and child support in June, claiming it would be difficult to keep that a secret from the Kardashians' connections.
They said: "With as many lawyer connections as Kim has.. there’s no way they didn’t know. Maralee filed a paternity suit in June of 2021 and no one who knows Kim heard about it or new? Absolutely not."
Khloe's representative has said: "Khloe is incredibly grateful to the extraordinary surrogate for such a beautiful blessing. We’d like to ask for kindness and privacy so that Khloe can focus on her family."
It is understood that Khloe and Tristan are not back together.
They are said to have not spoken about anything other than parenting matters for the sake of True since their split in December.
