Another layer to the drama. Khloé Kardashian and Tristan Thompson were secretly engaged for nine months before their 2021 split, Us Weekly can confirm.
The Revenge Body host, 38, revealed during the Thursday, September 28, episode of The Kardashians that she turned down the NBA star, 31, when he initially proposed in December 2019.
“I said I need to make sure this is a totally different relationship because I want to be proud to say I am engaged to anyone,” Khloé told sister Kim Kardashian about why she didn’t accept the proposal. “That is why I said, ‘I am not comfortable accepting this because I am not excited to tell my family.’ And as hurtful as it was for him to hear it was the truth. I would never accept something and give someone false hope.”
Kim, 41, for her part, recalled getting a call from the basketball player about his plans to get down on one knee.
“I will never forget Tristan calling me and he was going to propose to her on Valentine’s Day. Which was about a year since they had drama. So this is, like, last Valentine’s Day,” the Skims founder told cameras, seemingly referring to February 2020. “And then I called him the day after and said, ‘I never heard anything from Khloé. Did you propose?.’ And he was like, ‘Oh yeah, I did in December.’ She didn’t tell us.”
However, a source tells Us that Khloé said “yes” when Thompson asked a second time in February 2021.
The former couple started dating in September 2016 and announced that they were expecting a child together one year later. Days before daughter True’s arrival in April 2018, however, Thompson was caught cheating on a then-pregnant Khloé with multiple women.
While the pair initially stayed together throughout the scandal, they called it quits in February 2019
