Khloe Kardashian is ready to start a new chapter in her life.
In the season 2 premiere of The Kardashians, the Good American founder got candid about how Tristan Thompson’s paternity scandal put a dampener on their baby news.
In a confessional, the reality star said: “Tristan and I are having another baby. It’s supposed to be a really exciting time, and it’s just a different experience.”
Becoming visibly emotional, Khloe continued: “Obviously, it’s just really private and I just don’t want this to get out right now ‘cause I want to protect my mental well-being as well as the surrogate’s and all of that. It’s just been a lot to go through all at the same time.”
The 38-year-old explained that the embryo transfer occurred days before Thanksgiving (November 25) and she found out about “Tristan’s situation the first week of December.”
She told the cameras: “It’s just so close, I wouldn’t want anyone to think I did this after the fact. Why would I wanna have a baby with someone who’s having a baby with somebody else?”
Khloe explained that she decided to keep the surrogacy news within her family’s inner circle because she feared it would turn into a “media frenzy” if she announced the news publicly.
“I can’t hear about this for months,” she noted. “About what an idiot I am. Like, what a dumb f**k I am.”
Khloe told her best friend Malika Haqq that her ex Tristan was “excited” about the news, adding: “He keeps asking me questions, and I just won’t answer him.”
“I’ve always wanted two parents in the household helping raise the kids,” she told Malika, saying she wouldn’t want her children to have “daddy issues.”

The former Revenge Body host admitted to feeling “very angry” and “bamboozled” by the situation.
She said: “All I know is, I was being encouraged to do it by a certain date. In hindsight, he always knew when the other baby was being born, and especially getting the paperwork in that we saw. He found out July 2, so he did know.”
Ahead of her son’s due date, Khloe struggled to decide if she wanted Tristan in the delivery room with her. Her sister Kim encouraged Khloe to let Tristan in “for the sake of the baby.”
Khloe admitted: “This is the strangest, most f**ked up situation. But once [my son is] here, he’s gonna be the blessing. He’s gonna be the ray of light. He’s the fun, exciting part. The waiting process? This s**t f**king sucks.”
Viewers then saw footage from the hospital and the first look of Khloe and Tristan’s newborn, which Khloe called “a beautiful gift.”
She said: “Now that my son is here, I get to move on. I get to move on and I get to enjoy. It’s almost like I get to close that chapter and be done with this trauma.”
“This has been a difficult time in my life. But it’s the start of something positive and happy and beautiful.”
