Khloé Kardashian and Tristan Thompson's second baby has arrived.

People confirmed yesterday evening that the pair have welcomed a baby boy via surrogacy.

The 30-year-old reality star and 31-year-old NBA player already share a daughter together; four-year-old True. Now, they have welcomed another addition to their family - several months after they split in January after news emerged that Thompson had fathered another child with model Maralee Nichols.

Per People, Kardashian has not yet picked out a name for her new baby boy.

Last month, a representative announced that the pair would be having another child together. "We can confirm True will have a sibling," they said in a statement.

"Khloé is incredibly grateful to the extraordinary surrogate for such a beautiful blessing. We'd like to ask for kindness and privacy so that Khloé can focus on her family," it added.

Thompson and Kardashian have been in a rocky, on-off relationship since 2016. The two have reportedly only been communicating to co-parent True ever since Thompson became embroiled in a paternity scandal.

In December 2021, news broke that the NBA star had fathered a child with fitness model Nichols. The baby was conceived in March 2021, when he was technically still in a relationship with Kardashian.

After Nichols gave birth to the little boy - named Theo Thompson - Thompson publically denied that the child was his. It was only a month later in January that he finally admitted to being the father in a statement which he also used to apologize to Khloé for his behavior.

"You don't deserve this. You don't deserve the heartache and humiliation I have caused you. You don't deserve the way I have treated you over the years," the Chicago Bulls player wrote.

Meanwhile, Thompson's infidelity was not the only roadblock the exes faced when it came to welcoming their second child. During the March 2021 premiere episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashian's final season, Kardashian opened up about her fertility struggles, revealing that doctors had warned her against carrying another baby.

"I'm not gonna get into specifics on-camera," she said in the episode, "but they said it's like an 80-something percent chance that I will miscarry. I almost miscarried with True at the beginning. But I didn't know that was like a lingering thing."
