Khloé Kardashian is letting everyone know how she really feels about her potential relationship with Tristan Thompson and big sis Kim Kardashian supporting the NBA player.

The reality star responded to a theory claiming that she’s ‘soft launching’ a potential reconciliation with Tristan Thompson through Kim Kardashian.

The star posted to Instagram saying “Stop pushing this narrative. It’s tiring. But I suppose You guys will continue the narrative you want regardless of what I say so what’s the point,” This all comes as Kim Kardashian was spotted at the Lakers‘ Los Angeles supporting the Thompson just recently.

She went on to say, “It’s exhausting but I learned people will only understand to the level of their own perception. Most are stuck at believing the lies because it’s the narrative they want to fuel. Have fun…. Some things are just as simple as they seem. A family member supporting another family member ESPECIALLY during a difficult time in life.”

Khloé also went on to compare Kim being there for Thompson, 32, the way the Good American founder is for Kourtney Kardashian‘s ex Scott Disick over the years.

“Just how I support scott and will forever support him. He’s my brother. It’s just not on an nba stage,” Khloé continued. “Sad new world, If there’s no photos people think it really didn’t happen but yes, I see Scott often. Some things really are just as they are. ❤️.”

Kim has attended a few games since Thompson joined the team the other month. The KKW Beauty founder brought son Saint, 7, to the Crypto.com Arena sporting the athlete’s jersey on April 24th. Kris Jenner was also seen with boyfriend Corey Gamble, on May 8th alongside Kim Kardashian.

Then on May 12th, Kardashian returned for a third time to the stadium with daughter North, 9, who brought a sign to even support Thompson.

Khloé also shares two children with Thompson, but has not attended the games in person. Yet, she says she is ‘so proud’ according to a source.

“Khloé couldn’t be more thrilled for Tristan now that he’s joined the Lakers,” an insider told Us last month. “He’ll be in L.A. much more often so he can be closer to his kids and spend even more time with them. She’s so proud of him and all the hard work he’s done which has led up to this huge accomplishment.”

Back in 2021, the two split after news broke that he fathered a child with Maralee Nichols in private behind Khloé’s back. This was the third public cheating scandal for the pair who first dated back in 2016.

A source told Us Weekly that “Tristan is always trying to get Khloé back.
Another source added “Khloé will never not support Tristan because he’s the father of her two kids. Khloé called him the ‘best father’ because that’s how she feels and she will always stand by that. Despite whatever happened between them, she has decided to focus on the positive because her children are the most important people in her life. She’s able to separate their past and appreciates the way he shows up for his kids.”
