Find out if the heartbreaking death of Tristan Thompson’s mother caused Khloe Kardashian to reconsider their relationship.

Khloe Kardashian has been Tristan Thompson‘s rock since the sudden death of his beloved mother, Andrea, on Jan. 5 — leading some to believe that the pain caused by the tragedy has caused Khloe to consider giving their relationship another try. However, a source close to the Kardashian family told HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY that this is simply not going to happen. “Khloe knows her friends and some family members think that she will reconcile with Tristan again and give it another try, but there is no truth to this,” the source said.

PREMIUM EXCLUSIVE: Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson take daughter True to sister Kim's Paw Patrol premiere as rumors continue about them rekindling their romance. The on-off couple looked happy and relaxed as they joined members of the Kardashian clan for the private screening. Khloe and pro basketball player Tristan were first linked in 2016 when they were spotted spending time together at a nightclub, and they later took a vacation in Mexico. The two confirmed that they were dating that same year and remained very close through much of 2017. The reality television personality eventually confirmed that she was pregnant with the athlete's child that December through a post made to her Instagram account. Kardashian revealed that she was expecting a girl during an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians that aired the following year. In 2018, it was reported that Thompson was spotted kissing multiple women in several locations, which surprised the clothing designer. That year, she gave birth to True, and the parents later reconciled following the child's birth. Although the two appeared to be going strong in their new roles as parents, the basketball player, just traded to the Sacramento Kings in California, was later caught cheating with several other women, and the two split up in February of 2019. The pair appeared to mend their relationship over the course of that year and were reportedly on good terms by the beginning of 2020. The parents quarantined together during the early stages of the pandemic, and their romance was eventually resumed last August. Earlier this year, it was reported that the couple was planning on expanding their family in the future, although no solid plans have been revealed as of yet. This past June, it was revealed that Kardashian and Thompson had separated, although they were said to still be on good terms at the time of their split. 12 Aug 2021 Pictured: Tristan Thompson, Khloe Kardashian and daughter True.

On Jan 15, Khloe, 38, and her sisters, Kim Kardashian, 42, and Kylie Jenner, 25, as well as their mother, Kris Jenner, 67, attended a funeral in Toronto for Tristan’s late mother, who died 10 days prior from a heart attack. This was Khloe’s second trip to Toronto, as she rushed to be by his side when the death occurred. According to the source, “Khloe went to support Tristan at the funeral because she wanted to. Her family came along because they wanted to. It is that simple and Tristan would do the same for her.”

“Tristan’s late mother Andrea was her kids’ grandmother,” the source told HollywoodLife, adding that she was “very present” in their four-year-old daughter True‘s life — and that True “adored her.” Sadly, Andrea only was able to spend six months of her life with Khloe and Tristan’s son, who was born via surrogate on July 28, 2022. “Andrea was also present in their son’s life, but he is too young to know this,” the source told us. “It is a shame that he will never get a chance to know his grandmother because she is an amazing woman.”

As previously reported, Khloe ended all romantic involvement with Tristan after he got caught cheating on her for the third time with Maralee Nichols, who he fathered a son, Theo, with, in 2021. Although Khloe and Tristan’s relationship ended, the two have remained extremely close and have mastered co-parenting, “Khloe thinks that the way things are now between the two of them is perfect. He respects her and he is a great father to their kids,” the source told us. “They both know that she is not going to give their romance another chance. She can’t and he understands this.”
