New York: Khloé Kardashian is once again addressing swirling rumors that she and her ex, NBA star Tristan Thompson, might be getting back together. During a recent episode of her podcast Khloé In Wonder Land, she made it abundantly clear: there’s no romantic reconciliation — just co-parenting.
No Romance — Just Co-Parenting
Khloé, 41, emphasized how she views Tristan not as a rekindled lover but simply as the father of their two children, True and Tatum. “Tristan is not back in,” she stated, according to her podcast. “He’s just the father of my kids … so he’s going to be around his kids and I’m really grateful that he is.”
Her priority, she said, is preserving a stable, emotionally secure environment for their children. She added that she values how strong his bond is with their kids and doesn’t want to disrupt that. “I love that he has a great relationship with his kids. … I’m never going to get in the way of that.”

Firm Boundaries Are Key
Khloé was also forthright about why she maintains firm boundaries with Tristan. Reflecting on their history, she acknowledged that she has taken active steps to prevent old patterns from repeating. “These boundaries are so important … because we’ve done this song and dance a handful of times already,” she said, referencing past reconciliations.
She made it clear that their interactions are strictly centered on parenting. “No one’s just here chilling if there’s no kids involved,” Khloé added. She stressed that her actions and boundaries underline one message: this is about the kids, not romance.
A High-Road Approach to Their History
Despite the drama and heartbreak in their past — including Tristan’s multiple cheating scandals — Khloé insists on keeping the co-parenting relationship positive. She explained that being kind is harder than badmouthing him, but she believes in showing up for her children.
She shared that there were times when her emotions got the better of her, but she’s learned to “take control” of her feelings for the sake of their kids. Importantly, she doesn’t deny Tristan’s mistakes — but emphasizes that their relationship now is rooted in functionality, not emotional entanglement.
Understanding, But Not Confusing, the Signal
Khloé also acknowledged why some might misread her calm co-parenting dynamic. On a recent interview, she explained that she understands how Tristan might think there’s potential for a romantic comeback, but she’s actively avoiding giving any mixed signals. “It’s my job to set boundaries that my actions show otherwise,” she said.
She noted that in past phases of their relationship, the lines blurred too easily, and she doesn’t want a repeat of that. Now, she keeps things “very short and sweet” when they interact — always grounding the conversation around their shared role as parents.
Co-Parenting Is Her Main Focus
Khloé has been quite open about how challenging co-parenting with Tristan has been — emotionally, logistically, and personally. She mentioned feeling “territorial” at times and admitted it’s “probably the hardest thing” she’s had to navigate.
Their situation is complex: Tristan doesn’t always live in the same city, which means coordinating custody and visits involves difficult conversations. But Khloé also praised his consistency as a father, calling his presence “really great” for their children.
Why She Doesn’t Bash Him Publicly
One of the more revealing parts of her conversation is why she resists taking cheap shots at Tristan in public, despite their fraught history. Khloé said it’s more emotionally challenging to remain civil than to lash out — but she believes it’s worth it for her kids.
She highlighted how she had to learn to “take control” of her impulses — especially in the age of social media, where a tweet or a post could damage more than just her reputation. Even when she regrets past posts, she stands by her decision to choose kindness: “In my opinion, I’ll never regret being a nice person.”

Khloé also made it clear that she’s not actively looking for a romantic relationship right now. She said she’s chosen to focus on her children and her own healing, rather than dive back into the dating pool.
She concluded by saying that if love comes again—whether in two months or two years—she’ll welcome it. But for now, she’s happy, “so fulfilled” by her role as a mother.
Khloé Kardashian is shutting down reconciliation rumors with Tristan Thompson with conviction. While she values his role in their children’s lives, she’s not reopening the chapter of romance — and she’s very intentional about keeping her boundaries clear.
