Khloe Kardashian insists she’s ‘not attracted’ to Tristan Thompson but doesn’t rule out taking him BACK amid pressure from mom and best friend to forgive the serial love rat

Khloe Kardashian admits she might be open to taking Tristan Thompson back at some point – but not now – and insists she’s ‘not attracted to him anymore’ on the new episode of The Kardashians.

Khloe told Malika Haqq, “In an ideal world, I wish I was married and we, you know, had our family together, like that’s what everyone wants, but I’m not attracted to Tristan… like I’m not like that…’ as Malika says: ‘Wow. That’s a big word. You’re still attracted to him…’

Khloe, 39, and Tristan, 32, share five-year-old True and one-year-old son Tatum together, though Khloe eventually called it quits after numerous infidelities.

Khloe graciously allowed Tristan and his special needs teenage brother Amari to stay at her home after Tristan’s mother Andrea died suddenly and the roof of his house collapsed, although in this week’s episode it was revealed that Tristan has moved back into his own home.

At the end of this week’s episode, Khloe has lunch with her longtime friend Malika Haqq, who, like Khloe’s mom Kris Jenner and others, has suggested she get back together with him to “save your family.”

While Khloe made it clear that she has no interest in taking Tristan back in the near future, she wouldn’t rule it out indefinitely.

Malika asks, “So it’s not never?” which hinted that there might be a chance that she would let Tristan back into her life in a romantic way.

“I don’t know, I don’t know what it is, it’s definitely not now,” Khloe says with a sigh, as the episode comes to a close.

Khloe and Malika were enjoying a meal at Il Fornaio when Malika asked if she had any “joy” in her life, which Khloe said she did, and that it came from her children.

“Yes, when I see my kids,” Khloe says, as Malika asks if Tristan is still at her house.

“No, he moved to his house,” she tells Malika, adding confessionally, “Tristan has officially moved out now and he’s at his house, a block from mine. Tristan likes to come there in the mornings to carpool with the kids, like he’s still there a lot, and Tristan and I have never shared a bedroom or anything like that, so it’s kind of the same, but he’s in a different house . When the kids are asleep, he goes to his house and I stay in mine.”

Malika says, “He didn’t want to go,” as Khloe admits, “No, I didn’t think he wanted to go, but his house was flooded, his mom had just died, and when all that happened, of course, so was I.” like, okay, we got this, like you moved here and it took longer and longer, how long they were there, which was fine. It was so good for him and True, so good for him and Tatum, all of that. It was interesting for him and me, because Tristan and I hardly talked to each other before and I just thought: how do I feel, how do we get back to normal?’

Malika adds: ‘I would really like us to do something fun together. I think we should go to Home Goods. I think we should go to Target. I think we should go to the Four Seasons, have lunch, get a massage, and then we should go out. You have to do something more for yourself. You are like the life of the party.”

“I’m still the life of the party,” Khloe insists, as Malika asks, “What party?” Which party are you going to? You have to go to a party.’

“One day you have to get back out there,” says Malika, as Khloe insists, “and I will, it’s right now, I’m so damn overwhelmed with life.”

‘You have to practice what you ultimately want to become. After a while you start to go, you know what, I can do all these things and still do some things to make Khloe laugh and give me something else to talk about outside of my kids and Tristan and Amari and tragedy and all those…like you have to give yourself something else.”

Khloe confessionally adds, “I really appreciate how many people want me to go out, have a chat, and get out of my house. I know this makes me sound like a crazy person, but that’s not the best thing for me right now. Like: where am I actually going? What do you want me to do? What’s out there? I don’t think anything is that great, not now.’

Khloe explains to Malika, “My mom called me over to her house and we were just talking about a bunch of stuff and she said, ‘Don’t get mad, I just want to talk to you,’ and I usually know that’s something . about why I’m such a recluse, or about my romantic life.’

Malika adds: ‘It’s interesting that people keep saying that to you. It is interesting.’

“I mean, I love my mom for so many reasons, but one of the main things that makes it so beautiful about her is how forgiving she is and how many of us are in my family, but her specifically because she’s a mom, but if anyone If I did what Tristan did to my daughter, I would probably castrate them and laugh about it,” Khloe tells Malika.

“What happened between me and Tristan, I’ve been cheated on by a lot of people, I’ve dealt with it, I’ve dealt with it. This other situation was the wildest and it’s not just about him finding out someone else was pregnant, but while I secretly got my own surrogate pregnant, I would have never in a million years… like I thought so. As we move forward, this whole year will go by, my son isn’t even one yet, and look how much has changed. I haven’t spoken to Tristan at all for six months, not even about the children, but look now. Now we are really good friends again. Like I want to date someone. Not now, I’m exhausted,” Khloe tells Malika.

Khloe adds, confessionally, “What do they say: to get over someone, you have to get under someone else? I’m sure this is obviously a very easy route, and you’re definitely distracting yourself from what you need healing from. Someone’s form of healing is not my form of healing, and that is neither right nor wrong. But I just have to do what speaks to my soul, and if I felt like going out, if I felt like dating, and if I was open to it at the moment, I would do it. Nothing is holding me back, I really don’t have these feelings right now.’

Over dinner, Khloe says, “But I want to date people, I guess? And look what’s out there. I want to feel proud when I walk into a room and I’m with my husband, and I don’t think everyone is going to make fun of me for being a weak bitch for staying with someone.”

Malika says, “You are the furthest thing from a weak woman. It takes a very strong woman to forgive people. It takes a very strong woman to be hurt multiple times by the same person and still smile in their faces. There’s nothing weak about that. I don’t care what anyone says.’

Khloe says, “No, I know he’s really handsome… no no no, he’s so handsome, he’s a beautiful picture of a human being, but I can’t even think about kissing him on the lips, like nothing of all that would do… it’s just not in my wheelhouse.”

Malika adds, “Maybe you should think about it this way. Maybe you might want to try to save your family. You might want to give this a try, despite…’

Khloe adds, “But I tried to save my family a few times, and if you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans. Guess what buddy, I don’t have any plans anymore. Stop laughing at me. I just want to enjoy my life a little bit.’

Tristan is accused of cheating on Khloé repeatedly over the years and infamously hooked up with Kylie Jenner’s best friend Jordyn Woods in 2019.

Tristan rekindled his on-off relationship with Khloe, but the pair split again in 2022 when it was revealed he secretly fathered a child with Maralee Nicholls while expecting a child via a surrogate with the fellow founder of Good American.
