Khloé Kardashian Rejected Tristan Thompson's Secret Proposal Because She Wouldn't Be 'Proud' of Relationship
"I'm not comfortable accepting this right now because I'm not excited to tell my family, and as hurtful as that probably was for him to hear, it was the truth," Khloé said on The Kardashians
Khloé Kardashian dropped a bombshell on Thursday's episode of The Kardashians.
While chatting with her sister Kim Kardashian, it was revealed that Khloé's ex Tristan Thompson secretly proposed more than a year ago — and not only did Khloé reject him, she also opted not to disclose it to her family.
The news was initially shared by Kim as the sisters were discussing the fallout from Tristan's paternity scandal, which originally broke in December 2021. "I just worry for her because I think that she holds so much in," Kim, 41, said in a confessional.
"The fact that he proposed and you never told us," she said to Khloé, 38. "And I asked him months later ... the night after I thought it happened and he's like, 'Oh, I did it months ago, she didn't tell you guys?'"
In another confessional, Kim explained the situation further. "I'll never forget Tristan calling me and he was gonna propose to her on Valentine's Day, which was a year since they had drama so this was last Valentine's Day. And then I called him the day after and I was like, 'Hey, I never heard anything from Khloé. Oh my god, did you propose?' and he was like, 'Oh yeah, I did in December.' Oh my God, she didn't tell us!" she shared.
Back in her conversation with Kim, Khloé recalled her reaction to Tristan's proposal, which came just three months before Tristan, 31, became secretly romantically involved with another woman.
"I said, 'I need to make sure this is a totally different relationship because I wanna be proud to say I'm engaged to anyone,'" she recounted. "And that's why I said, 'I'm not comfortable accepting this right now because I'm not excited to tell my family,' and as hurtful as that probably was for him to hear, it was the truth. I'm not ever gonna accept something or give someone false hope, and I said that to him."
