Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson are expecting a second child together

Reality TV star, Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson are expecting a baby.

The reality TV star and NBA basketball player who have had a on-off relationship since 2016 due to Thompson’s repeatedly cheating already have a four-year-old daughter named True.

A representative for Kardashian confirmed this recent news in a statement.

“We can confirm True will have a sibling who was conceived in November,” the representative 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.”

According to reports by US media, the birth of the baby is “imminent”.

This timeline suggests that the decision to conceive the baby would have been made before it was revealed in December 2021 that Thompson had fathered a child with personal trainer Maralee Nichols.

Court documents showed that Thompson had slept with Nichols in March 2021, while he was in a relationship with Kardashian.

Thompson admitted to spending the night with Nichols in Houston on his 30th birthday on 13 March, the day after Kardashian threw an extravagant birthday party for him in California on 12 March.

In an appearance on Ellen DeGeneres’ series Lady Parts in March 2021, Kardashian disclosed that she and Thompson were preparing to have another child, and that they had created embryos.

In January this year, Thompson issued a public statement saying he takes “full responsibility” for fathering a child with Nichols.

“Khloe, you don’t deserve this. You don’t deserve the heartache and humiliation I have caused you,” he said.

“You don’t deserve the way I have treated you over the years. My actions certainly have not lined up with the way I view you.

“I have the utmost respect and love for you. Regardless of what you may think. Again, I am so incredibly sorry.”

What is Surrogacy?

Surrogacy is when a woman carries and gives birth to a baby for another person or couple.

Who might have surrogacy?

Surrogacy may be appropriate for women with a medical condition that makes it impossible or dangerous for them to get pregnant and give birth.

These include:

1. Absence or malformation of the womb

2. Recurrent pregnancy loss

3. Repeated in vitro fertilisation (IVF) implantation failures.

It’s also a popular option for male same-sex couples who want to have a family and can be used by people who are single.

How does surrogacy work?

There are two types of surrogacy:

Full surrogacy (also known as host or gestational surrogacy) is when the eggs of the intended mother or a donor are used and there is therefore no genetic connection between the baby and the surrogate.

Partial surrogacy (also known as straight or traditional surrogacy) involves the surrogate’s egg being fertilised with the sperm of the intended father. If you go down this route, we recommend you have treatment at a licensed UK fertility clinic.
