Khloe Kardashian feels pressure over rekindling her relationship with cheater Tristan Thompson – Daily Mail

Khloe Kardashian reportedly got back together with her cheater ex-boyfriend Tristan Thompson over the summer. 

However, before the pair rekindled their romance, it seemed the 36-year-old had been struggling with her feelings about their relationship.

In a new clip from Keeping Up With the Kardashians which dropped on Tuesday, Khloe opens up about being burned in the past and feeling ‘pressure’ from Tristan to commit again.

The clip begins with Khloe sitting on her luxurious bed having a FaceTime call with best friend Malika where the two discuss co-parenting with their exes. 

Khloe shares her two-year-old daughter True with ex Tristan Thompson and Malika recently welcomed her first child with ex O.T. Genesis.  

‘We’re in a really good place,’ Khloe says of her relationship with Tristan. She went on to praise him for helping out during the pandemic, particularly when she was isolating with the coronavirus.

The reality star told her best friend that the NBA player’s ‘energy’ was different and that he’d started to become more affectionate towards her.   

‘He’s still in love with you,’ Malika says. ‘I know that,’ Khloe responds before revealing that the pair had not been ‘sleeping together.’

Later in a confessional Khloe explains that she does feel pressure to decide where their relationship is heading.

‘I do feel pressure from Tristan but not because he’s told me – like, I’ve never had an ultimatum from Tristan,’  the blonde beauty says.

‘I just feel like it’s been over a year since we broke up and now that we’re hanging more I can tell he’s getting antsy,’ Khloe continues. 

As Khloe and Malika continue to discuss the status of the relationship, the Good American mogul struggles with figuring out her feelings about her cheating ex.

‘I think you’re just not open to being loved because of all of this s**t that’s happened,’ Malika says.

Khloe agreed: ‘I 100% have a block up. I mean, who wouldn’t? Like, every relationship that I go into they’re always disappointing and f**ked up.’

‘So, I have every reason to be guarded,’ she explains. Adding that if someone ‘cares’ they will work to break down that barrier. 

Tristan and Khloe first went public with their romance in September 2016 and she finalized her divorce from ex-husband Lamar Odom. 

Khloe and Lamar split in 2013 after Odom relapsed and cheated on his wife with multiple women. 

Meanwhile, Khloe and Tristan’s entire relationship was also mired by drama stemming from the basketball star’s rampant philandering. 

In 2018, two days before giving birth to their daughter, photos emerged of Tristan getting close to a mystery woman at a New York nightclub and old surveillance footage also surfaced showing him getting affectionate with two women at a hookah lounge in Washington, D.C.

The Cleveland Cavaliers player was then hit by a further five claims of infidelity which occurred during Khloe’s pregnancy.

While the pair worked on the relationship for the next nine months, things became messy once again in February 2019, when Tristan was caught out kissing sister Kylie Jenner’s now former best friend, Jordyn Woods, at a house party.

DailyMailTV revealed at the time that in addition to the Jordyn incident, Tristan was seen sneaking two women into a bedroom at a late night ‘singles’ party on Valentine’s Day. He was still with Khloe at the time.    

Things changed quite a bit since then and in August, Scott Disick seemingly confirmed that the pair had gotten back together. 

At the tome, Disick declared Tristan ‘is a lucky man’ in the comments of an Instagram post of Khloe in a bikini. 

Season 19 of Keeping Up with the Kardashians airs on Thursdays at 8pm ET/PT on E!.
