The Nov. 3 episode of ‘The Kardashians’ featured Khloe finding out that her ex, Tristan Thompson, wanted to pay for their daughter’s birthday party…and she was NOT having it.

Khloe Kardashian threw her daughter, True Thompson, an elaborate fourth birthday party in April, and it was featured on the Nov. 3 episode of The Kardashians. “I cannot believe True is turning four,” Khloe gushed. “I am entrusted in raising her and I take that role so seriously. I have an opportunity to shape her into such an incredible young woman and I’m not going to take that job lightly. I’m going to do the best job I can do.”

True’s dad, Tristan Thompson, wasn’t able to make the birthday party because he had a basketball game, but Khloe revealed that he got the toddler a diamond necklace for the occasion. The party took place more than four months after Khloe found out that Tristan had cheated on her and fathered another child, and things were still tense between the two. “I don’t know if Tristan was here today if that would add more stress to me,” she admitted. “We do co-parent really well, but I haven’t seen Tristan in person since before Christmas time.”

When Khloe’s mom, Kris Jenner, arrived to the party, she had some news for Khloe involving Tristan. “I don’t know if I’m supposed to tell you this or not, but Tristan called me and said he privately went ahead and took care of the whole party.” Khloe was not having it. “No, he’s not taking care of the whole party.” Kris pointed out that Tristan already did and said that Tristan was “so excited” to be able to do so for his daughter.

PREMIUM EXCLUSIVE: Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson take daughter True to sister Kim's Paw Patrol premiere as rumors continue about them rekindling their romance. The on-off couple looked happy and relaxed as they joined members of the Kardashian clan for the private screening. Khloe and pro basketball player Tristan were first linked in 2016 when they were spotted spending time together at a nightclub, and they later took a vacation in Mexico. The two confirmed that they were dating that same year and remained very close through much of 2017. The reality television personality eventually confirmed that she was pregnant with the athlete's child that December through a post made to her Instagram account. Kardashian revealed that she was expecting a girl during an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians that aired the following year. In 2018, it was reported that Thompson was spotted kissing multiple women in several locations, which surprised the clothing designer. That year, she gave birth to True, and the parents later reconciled following the child's birth. Although the two appeared to be going strong in their new roles as parents, the basketball player, just traded to the Sacramento Kings in California, was later caught cheating with several other women, and the two split up in February of 2019. The pair appeared to mend their relationship over the course of that year and were reportedly on good terms by the beginning of 2020. The parents quarantined together during the early stages of the pandemic, and their romance was eventually resumed last August. Earlier this year, it was reported that the couple was planning on expanding their family in the future, although no solid plans have been revealed as of yet. This past June, it was revealed that Kardashian and Thompson had separated, although they were said to still be on good terms at the time of their split. 12 Aug 2021 Pictured: Tristan Thompson, Khloe Kardashian and daughter True.

“Well I’m so excited that I can do it all by myself!” Khloe responded. “That’s nice, but I’m not going to let him do that.” In a confessional, she added, “I work really hard to do elaborate things for True and I don’t need anyone’s help.” The scene ended there, so it’s unclear whether or not Khloe ever discussed the situation with Tristan afterward.

Although Khloe and Tristan broke up after his cheating scandal, they welcomed their second child together in July. The baby was born via surrogate, and their embryo was implanted ahead of Thanksgiving…just days before Tristan’s paternity lawsuit went public and Khloe found out about it. So far, Khloe has not revealed the name of her and Tristan’s baby boy, although she did give fans a glimpse of him in an Instagram post on Halloween.
