Staying in Ohio

Us exclusively revealed that Kardashian will remain in Cleveland, Ohio, to give birth to her daughter. A source said, “It’s too late in the pregnancy for Khloé to fly back to L.A. right now.

Tristan Is ‘Remorseful’

A second source said that Thompson has been “overcome with emotion” and “everything changed when Khloe gave birth.” The insider added that he “is hoping that Khloe will choose to stay in Cleveland with their daughter, but isn’t going to make any demands of her to do so.”

All-Star Weekend Drama

Thompson acted inappropriately with two women during NBA All-Star Weekend in February, multiple sources told Us Weekly on April 21. “Two girls were hanging out with Tristan and his crew, some other basketball players and Canadian friends, at Avenue in L.A. during All-Star Weekend. The girls were at his table and Tristan was paying more attention to one of them, but he wasn’t all over her,” one source explained. “These girls are models and were in a fashion show for Angel Brinks that weekend and are shooting a show with her.” Another source noted that the NBA star was “flirting with her and didn’t look or act like someone who had a pregnant girlfriend … the flirting and body language were definitely inappropriate for someone in a serious relationship expecting a baby.”

Down in the DMs

“Tristan slides into girls’ DMs,” a source told Us on April 22. “He messages girls that way, on Instagram, and then meets up with them. He likes exotic or non-American-looking girls with big butts.”

Relationship Limbo

“If there wasn’t a child involved, Khloé would have kicked Tristan to the curb. She’s not ready to make a decision,” an insider told Us on April 25. “Seeing him with their daughter only complicates thing … She alone will determine the status of their relationship. Right now, there is no timetable.”

Tristan Breaks His Silence

Thompson broke his social media silence less than three weeks after the news of his infidelity first came to light. Following a big playoff win for the Cleveland Cavaliers on April 29, the NBA star added a picture of himself on the court. “WHAT AN ATMOSPHERE IN THE Q!! GREAT WIN #OnToTheNextOne,” he captioned the pic. Some fans praised Thompson for not focusing on the drama, while others were quick to rush to Khloe's defense. “Plz do something to show Khloe that u sorry," one follower wrote.

Team Khloé

Kim was the first member of the Kardashian family to publicly address the cheating scandal. “Poor Khloé … Like I don’t even know how to describe it besides it’s just so f—ked up,” Kim said in a sneak peek from the April 30 episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show. “We really were rooting for Khloé and we still are, you know, she’s so strong and she’s doing the best that she can. It’s a really sad situation, all over.”

Mother Knows Best

Kris broke her silence during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on May 4. “I’m so proud of that kid. I get choked up because she’s such a good mom and honestly I get so emotional,” the Kardashian-Jenner matriarch said as she held back tears. “I was in Cleveland last week, it was snowing, and she was all nestled in the nursery and the baby. She’s just concentrating on that, just being a mom, her baby and that’s what her sisters are doing as well. She’s so excited about motherhood and trying to get the nursing thing down, which is a little tricky. She’s trying, she’s really trying. That was a little bit tricky when I was there. She’s figuring it out one day at a time, she’s just the best mom already. That baby is so cute, little True.”

Cryptic Messages
