All the ‘proof’ Khloe Kardashian is back with cheating Tristan Thompson including secret meet-ups
WHEN Khloe Kardashian kicked baby daddy Tristan Thompson to the curb after his cheating scandal, it was hard to imagine a scenario where they would ever kiss and make up.
But there are many signs the two could be back together again.
Khloe, 38, and Tristan, 32, first heated up in 2016, and the pair put on a racy display on social media that Halloween as they partied together.
They officially confirmed their relationship shortly after Khloe's divorce from her ex-husband, Lamar Odom, 43, was finalized at the end of 2016.
A year later, she confirmed her first pregnancy with Tristan.
On April 12, 2018, she gave birth to daughter True - with Tristan by her side.
Amid rumors and confirmations of infidelity, the two had an on-and-off relationship for years.
But the biggest bombshell dropped in June 2021 when personal trainer Maralee Nichols, 32, claimed she was pregnant with Tristan's baby and revealed she would be suing him for child support.
The fitness model welcomed the baby boy named Theo that December, and after months of speculation and denials, Tristan's paternity test proved he was the father of the child, and he apologized to Khloe.
Then, in August 2022, Khloe and Tristan welcomed their second child together by surrogate.
After the shocking scandal, the reality star seemed to sever ties for good, but there are mounting clues that love may be blooming again.
Check out all the hints below.
TRISTAN'S TRAGEDY
After months apart, a personal loss may have brought Tristan and Khloe back together.
In January of this year, Tristan's mother suddenly passed.
Andrea Thompson suffered a heart attack at her home in Toronto, Canada, and was rushed to the hospital, where she died.
Tristan flew to Toronto on a private jet as soon as he could, and Khloe joined him.
She also posted a lengthy tribute to Andrea on Instagram.
Kris went on: "You were the most amazing, dedicated, devoted, and selfless mom and such a loving, kind, and fabulous grandmother. What a blessing you were to your family!!!
"I will miss you Andrea. I will miss your bright spirit and amazing light. Thank you for always praying for us and lifting us up and encouraging us along the way."
Her post concluded with: "Rest in peace beautiful angel."
HOME SWEET HOME
After his loss, Tristan tried to move closer to Khloe - literally.
The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed that a trust associated with Tristan signed a deed on a $12.5million six-bedroom home right next to Khloe and Kris' side-by-side mansions.
After Tristan sold his Encino mansion in May 2022 for $7.8million, he took his time to find the perfect home to settle into while navigating his new contract with the Chicago Bulls and his rocky relationship with Khloe.
A trust associated with Tristan signed a deed for the massive 10,584-square-foot property on December 16, 2022.
The luxury home comes with a home theater, a private gym room, a refrigerated wine cellar, and a spacious five-car garage.
Other features on the property include a private pool and spa, a covered patio, a beautiful garden, and even a private half-basketball court.
UNDER WHERE?
Fans think Khloe might have sent subliminal messages to Tristan in a social media post around Valentine's Day.
The KUWTK alum posted a snap of undies that had romantic sayings on them to her Instagram Stories, fueling beliefs the two are secretly dating again.
In the photo, there were several pairs of thong panties, a few silk nightwear camisoles, and a bra.
Some of the phrases that were written across the panties included: "Love me for me, OK?," "Talk Less and Say More," and "Late Night Snack."
The other expressions on the other pairs of underwear were: "Foreva Eva," and "Sweet Sweet Fantasy."
All the items in the picture were either colored red, fuchsia, light pink, or purple-pink.
Khloe captioned the picture: "Cutest overload."
BETRAYING BESTIES
Khloe's bestie, Malika Haqq, further fueled rumors with a cryptic message on her Instagram Stories.
Malika posted a meme that reads: "Thanks for not telling. Best friends don't tell," and tagged Khloé in the post.
KIM'S BUDDY
Tristan was also recently spotted with Khloe's sister Kim Kardashian, 42, strolling across a parking lot in Los Angeles, California, outside of her daughter North's basketball game.
Fans on a popular Kardashian forum quickly questioned the outing, with one writing: "so is he back in the family now ? … I give it a few weeks before him and Khloe get spotted out and about."
Another wrote: "Seems eerily similar to when they were all chummy with Lamar after his tragic experience. I don’t expect this to be long terms unless they do end up back together."
"Probably a way to soft launch him. Safest with Kim cause she’s been the meanest to him publicly so if she forgives him than everyone might?" hypothesized another.
PARTY PARTNERS?
On March 10, Khloe and Tristan were spotted partying together at her best friends Malika and Khadijah Haqq’s 40th birthday.
The Hulu star arrived at the event around 8pm in a sexy cutout silver dress that featured drawstring detail on the bust.
She teamed it with a chunky silver choker necklace and strappy heels and kept warm in a long black coat.
The fashion mogul was sporting long white nails and dark sunglasses and carried a silver handbag as she made her way inside.
Tristan showed up about two hours later, wearing a black leather jacket and diamond jewelry.
Suspiciously enough, Khloe and her ex left the building at the same time around 1am, though out of different exits.
The mother of two was spotted heading out the back door, while her baby daddy left out the front.
BIRTHDAY TRIBUTE
For Tristan's 32nd birthday on March 14, Khloe shared a series of photos, as well as a lengthy Instagram caption to the father of her two children.
Her caption read: "Happy birthday You are truly the best father, brother & uncle. Your love, attention, silly dances, hugs, carpool rides, bedtime rituals, the way u show up for them."
The Kardashians star continued: "All of the above means more than you’ll ever know to your family of littles. My birthday wish for u is that u continue to crave change, healing, and transformation. Be strong, be kind, be patient, be free. Continue to Make your soul and your mommy proud."
Khloe ended the heartfelt message with a flirty sign-off, writing: "Happy birthday baby daddy."
Even though the Revenge Body alum turned off the comment function on the post, fans rushed to an online thread to share their opinions on the shocking birthday tribute.
In a post titled "Khloe’s birthday message to her baby daddy," one person replied: "Here we go again."
Fans did not hold back as remarks of "I officially give up on her," "This is pathetic," and "embarrassing," rang throughout the comment thread.
Another person mentioned: "Last time she made a glowing birthday post to him, he got somebody else pregnant that very night."
They continued: "I guess baby number 5 will [be] here in December."
"'Happy birthday serial baby daddy' would have been acceptable," joked a third.
One fan questioned: "WHAT IS WRONG WITH HER?!!!!!! why does she make this all public?…. couldn’t she just privately message him something?"
The sentiment continued, as a second commenter asked: "why does no one stop her? omg."
"There's no need to be a clown so publicly," added a third.
Another chimed in: "The fact she posted it with no comments allowed speaks more volumes than she will ever admit."
"It’s giving 'I don’t care what y’all think' even though she very much cares what we think," responded a fourth.
A fifth critic commented: "At this point I won't feel sorry for her anymore. The next awful thing Tristan does to her and shes crying and whining about it on the show (and trust me he will, it's only a matter of time), I'm gonna LAUGH I tell you," before adding, "She's clearly at fault just as much as he is."
While a sixth commenter stated: "Pathetic. Embarrassing. Sad. Tragic," and asked, "When will she learn?"
Fans' anguish with Khloe's post continued as a disappointed commenter wrote: "Girl bye this is embarrassing," but as a result of the caption other fans began to theorize that the former E! star and the NBA power forward are back together.
One person wrote: "I think it’s her way of soft-launching that they’re back together."
A second fan claimed: "They are back together definitely but are waiting to announce it to cover up another scandal."
While a third writer speculated: "They’re fully back together and I think they have been for a while."
MORE SIGHTINGS
Speculation that the exes are back together only continued from there as the duo were spotted on more outings together.
Earlier this week the pair were caught pulling up to a McDonald's drive-thru together in Rialto, California.
Khloe was seen in the driver's seat of a dark-colored SUV while the NBA star occupied the passenger seat.
They ordered a ton of food with happy meals among them, likely for their eldest child.
Many fans were convinced the outing was more than an innocent fast food pickup and that they rekindled their romance.
Tristan also attended True's lavish fifth birthday party over the weekend, prompting some to question if he was more so there for Khloe.
"I don't understand how a man can be there for one child and not the others?" one person posted in an online message board.
The user seemed to be referring to his other rarely seen children: a six-year-old son, Prince, whom he shares with his ex-Jordan Craig, and his one-year-old son, Theo, with his mistress Maralee.

Others, however, defended Tristan, pointing out that he was simply attending his child's party.
One wrote: "I mean True is his daughter. I think it’s ok for him to be at her birthday party."
