Khloe Kardashian begs family to ‘go easy’ on Tristan Thompson after love child scandal so she can ‘co-parent peacefully’
KHLOE Kardashian has asked her famous family not to trash her ex Tristan Thompson - who fathered a child in secret - so they can co-parent daughter True peacefully.
The Good American founder and mom, who shares her 3-year-old daughter with the NBA star, was reportedly left blindsided after it was revealed Tristan was expecting a son with fitness model Maralee Nichols.
Maralee, 31, gave birth in December after a long-standing fling with the star and is now allegedly receiving $40K a month in child support.
Aside from cryptic Instagram comments, Khloe has kept a dignified silence, while Tristan publicly apologized for his behavior.
And a source says she will not trash him publicly and has asked her family to let her handle their relationship and leave him be.
"Khloe has asked family and friends to keep it cordial with Tristan for the sake of True and her relationship with her dad," the source spilled.
"There's always fear that Khloe will want to reunite with him to keep her family together, but at the minute it seems she's done for good.
"Kim has made no secret she is not a fan of Tristan, and feels the family has given him chance after chance and he's disrespected her sister and left her feeling broken."

The insider added: "The family can't help but get involved and have their say, but they’re trying to stay civil for the sake of the children so they don't get a sense of what's really going on."
The Sun has reached out to Khloe's rep for comment.
Kim, who is also going through a messy split after filing for divorce from Kanye West, previously branded Tristan a "f***ing loser" and threatened to spit on him in a resurfaced video.
The 2018 clip of Kim from Keeping Up With The Kardashians shows her ranting about Tristan, 30, after he blocked her on Instagram.
In the KUWTK snippet, Kim told her sister Kourtney that she had unfollowed Khloe's baby daddy, and she asked if the athlete was still following her.
Kim checked on her phone, before gasping and declaring: "He blocked me! What a f****ing loser! Literally, what a f***ing loser."
The mother of four then rang Khloe to tell her the news, to which her sister said: "He's 27, only 27-year-olds know how to block.
"I don't even know how to block someone."
KIM'S ROW WITH TRISTAN
Kim replied: "Oh, it's on," to which Khloe responded, "Please don't say the 'it's on,' what does that mean?!"
Kim said: "It just means when I see him, I'm going to like spit on him."
She then added that she'll "be nice" and will "coexist" with Tristan - but says again after hanging up the phone: "Your boyfriend's a f***ing loser."
The video came to light after Tristan admitted he is the father of Maralee's baby son in a lengthy Instagram post and apologized to Khloe for "humiliating" her.
"Khloe. you don't deserve this. You don't deserve the heartache and humiliation I have caused you," she said.
"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."
