This week Khloé Kardashian gave birth to her first child, a healthy baby girl. A source told People, "Her daughter is very cute with lots of black hair." Several members of the family flew to the hospital in Cleveland, Ohio, to support her in the delivery room - mom-ager Kris Jenner, sisters Kim and Kourtney, and the father, NBA star Tristan Thompson.
However, the occasion was a bit awkward. Days before the birth, photos and videos leaked of Tristan cheating on Khloé with multiple women. In New York City, Tristan was caught on video kissing a woman at a nightclub, and then caught on photos taking that same woman to his hotel room. To make matters worse, TMZ uploaded footage of Tristan getting intimate with two women at a hookah lounge in Washington, D.C. The video was taken in October 2017, when Khloé was three months pregnant, indicating he's been philandering for a while.
In this response to these cheating scandals, the entire Kardashian family unfollowed Tristan on social media. Then, almost immediately afterward, they all gathered together in the delivery room. A source told People that Khloé was "being the bigger person and letting Tristan bond with their baby." Now an insider told The Sun exactly that Kim 'felt sick' being next to the serial cheater.
"Kim and Kourtney flew out as soon as Khloe went into labour – they'd never miss the birth of her first child. It was so hard [to be there] with all the cheating allegations. Kim and Kourt aren't known for holding back on their opinions, especially on someone who's hurt their sister, but they were acting like nothing had happened.
They didn't want to spoil the most magical day of her life, so nobody tried to bring up the cheating rumors. Everyone was totally focused on the baby girl. They wanted the birth to be stress free and as relaxed as possible [although the girls] feel sick at the rumors and what Tristan could have done to Khloe... they promised to be nice. They're incredibly happy for Khloe, but it's the worst timing for Tristan to be accused of cheating on her."
Surprisingly, The Sun's insider adds that Khloé has 'practically already forgiven' Thompson for his multiple affairs. This corroborates what a Keeping Up With The Kardashians source told People: "She’s a hopeless romantic and she’ll try to make this work. She tried forever to make it work with Lamar [Odom]. She’s having a child with Tristan, and she’s going to try to rebuild this."
Both Kim and Kris posted their congratulations to Khloé on social media. Fans have been flocking to the reality star's side, too, showering her with love and support. At the Cleveland Cavaliers/ New York Knicks game on Wednesday, people in the crowd even booed Tristan Thompson, and held up signs for Khloé.
In case that wasn't enough, Kardashian fans have flooded Tristian Thompson's Instagram page with snake emojis and creative burns, like "I hope somebody puts a red sock in all your white laundry." That's harsh, but we can all agree, he deserves it.
