KHLOE Kardashian is still "devastated" over Tristan Thompson's love child scandal and "wanted a fairytale life" with him.
The NBA star confirmed he fathered a son with Maralee Nichols earlier this month.
Khloe, 37, is still reeling over the news that her baby daddy Tristan, 30, fathered a child with his mistress Maralee.
"Khloe is really struggling with what's happening with Tristan," a source told on Wednesday.
"This time that he was unfaithful has been much harder than the previous times. She really wants the relationship to work and she has been devastated."
The source added on the Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum's support system: "She's leaning heavily on Kris [Jenner].
But Kris wants Khloe and Tristan to be in a good place so she's encouraging Khloe to keep the lines of communication open."
"[Khloe] wanted the fairytale life with him and she's so upset. People around her have never seen her so down and are so thankful she has her mother there who has barely left her side."

Tristan went on on apologize to his ex, writing: "Khloe. 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. My actions have certainly not lined up with the way I view you.
"I have the utmost respect and love for you, regardless of what you may think. Again I am so incredibly sorry."
SECRET ROMANCE
Maralee gave birth to Tristan's child, a baby boy, on December 1 after months of the pair battling in court.
The former fitness instructor filed a lawsuit seeking financial support from the Canadian sports star.
She claimed in her legal filing that she and Tristan conceived the child on his birthday back in March.
The basketball player initially claimed that his relationship with Maralee was a one-night hookup initially.
However, he later admitted in legal documents that he met up with her several times for sex.
Khloe and Tristan, who share three-year-old daughter True together, were exclusively dating at the time of his affair.
The NBA star also has five-year-old son Prince with ex Jordan Craig.
KHLOE REFLECTS
While Khloe hasn't publicly commented on her ex's actions, she recently attended her neices Chicago West and Stormi Webster's joint birthday bash with daughter True - and hinted at her heartbreak with cryptic quotes on her Instagram Stories last month.
One post read: "There's going to be painful moments in your life that will change your entire world in a matter of minutes. These moments will change YOU.
"Let them make you stronger smarter and kinder. But don't you go become someone that you're not. Cry. Scream if you have to.
"Then you straighten out that crown and keep it moving."
