Khloe Kardashian, 41, states she prefers to be married before having additional children. The TV personality and Good American founder shares daughter True, 7, and son Tatum, 3, with ex Tristan Thompson.

Uncertainty Over Expanding the Family

On the latest episode of her Khloe In Wonder Land podcast, Kardashian expresses doubt about adding a third child. “I don’t know if I have the bandwidth for a third,” she says. “And I’m also not married, and I want to be married to have more kids.”

She appreciates her children’s close relationships with their cousins, noting, “They’re close like sisters.” Kardashian maintains strong bonds with her own siblings.

Fear of Dating After Past Heartbreak

In a January episode, Kardashian discusses her sarmassophobia, an intense fear of dating, love, or romantic intimacy that triggers avoidance and anxiety. Therapy often addresses this condition.

During a talk with sister Kim Kardashian, she reveals, “It’s a tough world out there for me… Now I feel like I’ve gone so long now. It’s like so scary to get back in there.” She adds, “I feel so safe where I am. And I hated how I felt before. That I’m like, I don’t want to go back there. But I can’t live like this forever. Like I’m afraid that I’m so afraid.” Kardashian considers therapy to overcome this fear.

Relationship History with Tristan Thompson

Kardashian began dating NBA player Tristan Thompson in 2016. They welcomed True in April 2018, despite his infidelity during her pregnancy. The couple split in 2019 after Thompson kissed Kylie Jenner’s friend Jordyn Woods but reconciled during the COVID-19 pandemic.

They parted again in June 2021 but remain amicable co-parents. That year, Maralee Nichols gave birth to Thompson’s son, confirmed by paternity test, while he was still involved with Kardashian. Thompson apologized, saying, “You don’t deserve this. You don’t deserve the heartache and humiliation I have caused you.”

The pair welcomed Tatum via surrogate on July 28, 2022.

Co-Parenting Without Romance

In a recent podcast episode, Kardashian clarifies she does not hook up with Thompson. “People are always like, ‘How do you let Tristan back in?’ And I’m like, ‘Well, Tristan is not back in,'” she states. “He’s just the father of my kids, so he’s going to be around his kids and I’m really grateful that he is.”

She emphasizes, “I love that he has a great relationship with his kids. I think that’s a beautiful blessing and I’m never going to get in the way of that. I think it’s so important for that relationship to maintain and be as strong as possible.”

Prior Marriage and Business Shifts

Kardashian was married to Lamar Odom from 2009 until their 2016 divorce.

Recent reports indicate she focuses less on Good American, co-founded with Emma Grede in 2016, prioritizing her podcast and Khloud protein popcorn line launched in 2025. Sources describe her role as investor and ambassador, not involved in strategy or operations. She and Grede reportedly maintain a distant professional relationship after reduced collaboration over the past year.

Kardashian plans more solo podcast episodes based on listener topics for a looser format this season.
