Love the single life. Khloe Kardashian said rumors about their dating again after their split from Tristan Thompson are wrong.

The conversation began on Instagram gossip account DeuxMoi, which received an anonymous submission claiming the 37-year-old Good American founder “saw another NBA player.” Fan account KardashianSocial shared screenshots via Instagram on Friday, June 17, adding, “Who knows if this is true and I know she doesn’t need anyone but I can’t wait for her someday.” someone like Kravis and Kete because I know she will!”

Khloé appreciated the kind message, but she said the report was incorrect. “Definitely NOT true!!! I love you! Thanks for the kind wishes but I don’t see a soul,” she commented via Instagram on Saturday, June 18.

The author of The Strong Looks Better Naked added, “I’m excited to be able to focus on my daughter and myself for a while.”

She shares daughter True, 4, with Thompson, 31. Although the two last split in late 2021, Khloé is reliving the breakup drama with the Kardashians. During the first season of the new reality show showed Kim Kardashian find happiness with Peter Davidson and Kourtney Kardashian try to have kids with you Travis BarkerKhloé’s romantic arc ended in heartbreak.

“It was definitely a tough episode, but it’s so nice to see how close my family is,” she admitted via Twitter on Thursday, June 16 after the season 1 finale aired on Hulu. “We will always stick together and love each other very much.”

The episode focused on the aftermath of the family learning the NBA star was being sued for child support Maralee Nichols, with whom he admitted in court documents to having slept with her. He was still dating the reality star at the time.

“I find out what Tristan is doing to the rest of the world,” Khloé explained in a confessional during the episode. “It wouldn’t be polite to do it, but well, if you do, won’t you even warn me about the rest of the world? It’s just an extra slap in the face. It’s humbling.”

The athlete’s lawsuit first came to light in December 2021, and Us Weekly confirmed later that month that Nichols, 31, gave birth to son Theo. Thompson later confirmed his paternity via social media in January and publicly apologized to Khloé, but sources exclusively told us earlier this month that he doesn’t play an active role in his little boy’s life.

“Tristan is very absent from Theo’s life. He hasn’t met Theo or initiated any meetings,” a source said. “He has no immediate plans to meet his son face to face.”

Thompson “has also not been in contact with Maralee and to date has not sent her child support money,” the source added. “This aspect has not yet been legally clarified.”
