Khloé Kardashian and Tristan Thompson are giving fans a glimpse into their unconventional relationship dynamic.
The former couple sat down together for the latest episode of Khloé’s podcast, where the conversation turned to co-parenting, embryos and why Thompson ultimately decided to get a vasectomy.
“Do you wanna have more kids in the future?” Khloé asked during the episode.
“I think I signed off for two embryos,” Thompson replied. “So, I mean, if I do have more kids, it’d be coming from you. I already have enough baby moms. Don’t want no more.”
The NBA player shares daughter True and son Tatum with Khloé. He is also dad to son Prince with ex Jordan Craig and son Theo with Maralee Nichols.
Khloé then revealed she played a major role in Tristan’s decision to undergo the procedure.
“And who helped you fix that decision? That was me,” she said. “Tristan may have had a little ultimatum from me.”
“What? Getting neutered?” Tristan joked. “Sometimes you gotta lay them nuts on the table.”
The basketball star admitted he initially resisted the idea.
“I’ve been a little hardheaded at times,” he said. “I wish I wasn’t as stubborn.”
The pair revealed future children are still a possibility because Khloé legally controls their remaining embryos.
“You signed them over to me anyway, so I legally own them,” Khloé said during the conversation.
“Yes, you do,” Tristan replied.
He later doubled down, adding, “No more kids, unless it’s coming from Khloé’s embryos.”
Khloé also shared that the two planned ahead in case Tristan eventually changes his mind with a future partner.
“We saved sperm because I said, ‘What if you get married and your wife doesn’t have kids, and you wanna do that?’” she explained. “So we did that. Because you could also reverse it.”
Tristan, however, quickly shut that idea down.
“No. I’m not, no. I’m not laying down on that table again.”
Elsewhere in the episode, the former couple reflected on how much their relationship has evolved since their split nearly five years ago.
“At the end of the day, we are friends first and foremost, and we have two beautiful children together,” Tristan said. “I think it’s healthy for people to see two parents that aren’t romantically involved still have a positive dynamic and are in a good place.”
The conversation also touched on their co-parenting relationship and how they’ve managed to make things work over the years.
“It never ever crossed my mind whether or not it was going to be able to work,” Thompson said. “I think it was going to be more so can we come to a place of maturity where emotionally we don’t get frustrated because of maybe our relationship not working or being where we’re at.”
Khloé added, “Tristan will be around as long as you want to be around and you want to be present in your kids’ lives. If I don’t have to do two separate birthday parties, I don’t want to. That’s not the way it should be.”
