In 2018, a few days before Khloe gave birth to her first daughter, she learned that her partner Tristan Thompson was cheating on her. The scandal became even bigger as the girl in question was Kylie Jenner's close friend, Jordyn Woods.
However, time passed and although Khloe initially called the former a "disgusting man" and his actions "unforgivable", things changed. The couple spent months together in quarantine and Tristan's efforts to become a true family member paid off. Now, according to Kim, Khloe is simply ashamed to admit that she is back with her unfaithful ex-partner.
In the new KUWTK final season clip, it is Kim who confirms the duo’s return, saying he is simply “embarrassed” to publicly acknowledge the connection and will not face people’s reactions.
"She cares a lot about what others will think. Khloe has not been like that, once she did not even care what others said about her," Kim is heard as Tristan intervenes to encourage her partner to "live the way saj ".
However, for the moment Khloe chooses to keep Tristan a secret for a while, until the relationship takes another turn.
