The pair’s rocky relationship plays out in the family’s new Hulu series as they work through Tristan’s past infidelity.
In the scene, Khloe praises her daughter’s father, saying he’s put in “effort” to keep their family intact.
The clip then flashes to the couple playing with their four year old daughter, True, as Khloe admits she enjoys having the whole family together.
“I have a lot of hope and faith and optimism for our future together,” the Good American founder gushes over her man in a confessional interview.
The pair gathered with Khloe’s mom, Kris Jenner, sister Kim Kardashian, and family friend Simon Huck and his partner in the following scene.
Tristan quickly found himself in the hot seat after revealing that he flew to town to surprise Khloe and True in between his basketball schedule.
Simon then jokingly asked: “Any other surprises?” hinting at a possible proposal to his daughter’s mother.
Tristan uncomfortably shrugged, forcing a smile: “oh, not yet.”

The comment made Kris laugh as she told the 31-year-old athlete: “You’re next, Tristan; figure it out.”
“And if we could just use the same hotel, that would be great,” the 66-year-old momager added.
The group celebrated the eldest Kardashian sibling, Kourtney’s engagement with Travis Barker, which aired during the episode.
Twitter erupted with fan comments about the “awkward” interaction, given Tristan’s lovechild scandal that came to light post-filming.
“Tristan Thompson looked nervous af,” one person tweeted.
“Khloe Kardashian had no idea Tristan Thompson needed more than therapy at this point to think his 3rd *known* baby mama was full blown pregnant when they filmed this is just,” another wrote, referencing his love child with Maralee.
“I don’t think Tristan Thompson really realizes how corny he looks on this new kardashian show,” a third replied.
“The man is living in a constant state of fear of beging caught! How busted did he think he was, the sigh of relief when he realised they actually meant proposing to khloe and not the secret baby!” said a fourth.
Khloe herself tweeted of Tristan’s appearance in the episode: “Well we know how this aged.”
In a second message, she wrote: “Watching these episodes now I definitely feel a type of way #TheKardashians oh girl if only you knew…. (Me talking to me).”
‘GREAT DAD’
Tristan welcomed a son named Theo with his former mistress Maralee, 31, back in December 2021, less than two months after the episode was filmed.
Khloe broke about how she learned the news in a recent interview with USA Today.
She confessed, “That was hard,” adding that it felt like “deja vu” from the other times Tristan was unfaithful.
Khloe recalled: “I think the first time it was either Kendall [Jenner] or Kylie [Jenner] that called me [to break the news]. Now it’s good old Kim [Kardashian.] You do become numb to the pain.”
That being said, Khloe – to whom Tristan apologized via a public Instagram post in January – told ABC in a splashy April interview that Tristan was a “great guy” and “great dad.”
However, Tristan doesn’t appear to be making the same effort with his newborn son.
CHILD SUPPORT
In March, Maralee claimed that Tristan has refused to pay child support and has made “no attempt” to meet their newborn baby.
Maralee’s representative recently said he has “done nothing” to support the baby, despite reportedly being ordered to pay her over $40,000 a month.
In February, her rep, Harvey Englander, told Page Six: “Despite news reports stating otherwise, Tristan Thompson has done nothing to support his son.
“He has not made any attempt to meet their son, nor has he provided any financial assistance.”
Earlier this year, she demanded that he pay her $47,000 a month and $1 million in legal fees.
In documents obtained by Us Weekly, Maralee claimed that the basketball player has an “income of $9.7 million alone.”
In addition to daughter True, with Khloe, and son, Theo, with Maralee, Tristan is also dad to five year old son, Prince, with his ex Jordan Craig.
