The ‘Kardashians’ star sat down with her sister Kourtney to discuss how she’s adjusted to Tristan’s move.

Don’t worry — Khloé Kardashian is doing just fine even though her ex Tristan Thompson has left Los Angeles. During the latest episode of The Kardashians, which aired on Thursday, June 13, the 39-year-old Hulu personality sat down with her sister Kourtney Kardashian about how she’s adjusted to life without the NBA player, 33.

“Are you feeling happy and light, or dark and heavy?” the Poosh founder, 45, asked the Good American boss after asking for a quick “check in” with her. “I just feel like, ‘OK, there’s a separation and it’s good,’” Khloé replied, noting that she felt like a weight was lifted off her shoulders.

After Kourtney pressed Khloé about her sex life, the Lemme founder asked if KoKo had found anyone new now that she has a new sense of freedom.

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.

“I am not, but thank you for your hard questions,” Khloé answered.

During a subsequent confessional, Khloé discussed her chat with Kourtney. Although she’s thankful for her older sister, the mom of two — who shares daughter True and son Tatum with Tristan — insisted that she’s “content” and “happy.”

“I love Kourt for being that concerned about me, but I’m very content and I’m happy,” Khloé said. “I feel like I’m f**king thriving in my own little circle and world, but just even to think about someone being in my space where I have to share my TV or my bed, I’m like, no. No means no and that’s all you gotta know. … I’m just finding my rhythm in life again, I guess.”

Kourtney isn’t the only Kardashian-Jenner family member who’s asked Khloé about her personal life. During last week’s episode of The Kardashians, Kourtney’s ex Scott Disick asked Khloé if the door was “closed” on any hope of a reconciliation with Tristan.

“Scott. Ugh. Like, the door is closed,” Khloé insisted, before explaining why she simply doesn’t want to date anyone at the moment.

“Once I’m done with the kids at 9 [p.m.], I have limited time,” the busy mother pointed out. “I have to be up at 4:30 [a.m.]. 9 p.m. to 4:30 a.m – that’s my time. I’m not sharing it with a man. I’m not sharing my TV. I’m not sharing my bed.”

Khloé and Tristan were in an on-and-off relationship from 2016 until late 2021 when his paternity scandal with Maralee Nichols surfaced. Although their split was difficult for the Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum, Khloé and Tristan developed a solid co-parenting relationship. In fact, Khloé even let Tristan temporarily move in with her while his house was under renovation.

New episodes of The Kardashians drops on Thursdays on Hulu.
