Back in April, Tristan Thompson was caught cheating on Khloe Kardashian while she was nine months pregnant with his child.
It’s sort of thing that would serve as a dealbreaker for about 99 percent of the people on the planet, but remarkably, Khloe has decided to stick it out and make things work with Tristan.
According to People magazine, Khloe and Tristan recently began couple’s therapy.
One insider says the troubled twosome have been “working hard” to repair their relationship — but it seems they’re meeting with mixed results.
“One thousand percent they are working through couple’s therapy,” Kris Jenner’s longtime friend Lisa Stanley revealed in a recent interview.
“You can’t just earn trust back in two months.”
Stanley says Khloe’s first priority is keeping her family intact.
But she’s also considering her public image.
“[Khloe] doesn’t want to look a fool. She was a fool once with Lamar, and she didn’t want to do it again,” Stanley said.
She went on to say that Khloe has had no trouble justifying her decision to give Tristan a second chance.
“Khloe was always going to try to make this work, for a plethora of reasons,” she told the interviewer.
“The first reason is she has a child now, and she feels very connected to [Tristan] in that way. The second reason is she loves him. She clearly loves the man.”
It sounds like Stanley is in support of the relationship — but Khloe’s mom and sisters reportedly don’t feel the same.
Sources close to the family say the Kardashians issued Khloe an ultimatum after Tristan was caught cheating:
Basically, they went full-intervention and told Khloe that if she continues to date Tristan, they’ll cut off all contact with her.
These days, however, it looks as though they’ve backed down from that position.
Khloe and Tristan are living in LA during the NBA offseason, and sources say they’ve been spending a lot of time with her family.
Last month, Kim even forced Tristan to re-follow her on Instagram in a humorous video that was then posted online.
So it sounds like these two might actually pull off the impossible and make their relationship work.
It’s almost enough to make you forget how bad Tristan’s cheating was in the first place.
“Tristan has been consistently cheating on Khloe,” a source said to People at the time.
“He’s a serial cheater. And there will be more women to come out of the woodwork.”
Yes, Thompson didn’t just slip up once — he was caught messing around on Khloe in multiple cities with several different women.
We’re not here to judge, and obviously, no one really knows what goes on in their relationship aside from them.
We just hope Khloe considers that every time she contemplates getting married to Tristan.
