  In case you’re not in the know, it’s been a pretty wild year for Khloé.


  Last December, the on-again off-again duo called it quits for good after Tristan was forced to clear up a third cheating scandal, later admitting that he had fathered a child with another woman while he and Khloé were still together.


  Speaking about the drama of fatherhood at length for the first time during The Kardashians In the season finale last month, Khloé reflected on Tristan’s string of infidelities and confessed that she had almost become “immune” to his behavior.


  “I just don’t really feel in my body.  These things just happen and I’m just going through the motions,” she said on the show.  “When things happen to you sometimes, you become immune to them.”


  Seeing how hurt she was in the aftermath, many fans were quick to speculate that the latest scandal would spell the final nail in the coffin for the duo.  However, the internet was left in complete shock last week after reports emerged claiming that Khloé and Tristan are expecting their second child together via surrogate.


  A rep for Khloé confirmed that the exes, who already have 4-year-old daughter True, are set to welcome a new addition in the coming weeks and that the baby was conceived in November — about a month before Tristan’s paternity scandal.  exposed.


  “We can confirm that True will have a brother who was conceived in November,” Khloé’s rep told People last Wednesday.  “Khloé is incredibly grateful to the amazing surrogate for such a beautiful blessing.”


  Setting the record straight on the current state of Khloé and Tristan’s romantic relationship, the rep also clarified that the exes are definitely “not back together” and that they “haven’t spoken since December outside of co-parenting.”


  Several outlets have claimed that the new baby — reportedly a boy — is due any day now, with TMZ even speculating that it may already be born.


  Despite the swirling reports, neither Khloé nor Tristan have spoken publicly about the news yet.  However, Khloé broke her silence on Instagram yesterday, making it clear that her mindset is focused on motherhood with a sweet tribute to her daughter.

  “Me and my best girl making the best memories,” she wrote alongside a series of photos of her and True soaking up the sun on a recent vacation to celebrate her 38th birthday.  “I will forever have your back my angel.”


  And while Khloé seems to be laying low and focusing on mom life in preparation for their new arrival, it seems Tristan has taken a rather different approach.


  Footage obtained by TMZ last week showed the NBA player living it up at a club on the island of Mykonos in the early hours of Friday.  A large group of friends, including several women, were seen with him.

  Then, a few days later, additional footage showed Tristan leaving the same club — this time walking hand-in-hand with a mystery woman.

  Of course, as a single man, Tristan is well within his rights to explore new romantic relationships.  However, with the birth of his and Khloé’s second child “imminent,” fans can’t help but feel the basketball star would be better off back home in LA.

  However, Khloé now seems to have subtly waded into the conversation, giving fans her take on the messy situation.


  On Tuesday, shortly after her return to social media, some of Khloé’s followers noticed that she liked a post in defense of her ex.


  An account called @kardashiansocial uploaded the clip of Tristan with the mystery woman and proceeded to encourage fans to stop the hate.


  “To everyone freaking out over that video of Tristan in Greece with another girl, Khloe and Tristan are both single and according to the statement from Khloe’s rep they haven’t spoken since December other than they have their parents with them,” the post began.


  “So I don’t know why it would be crazy for Tristan to be with another girl as long as he’s a good daddy to his baby, which we don’t know when Khloe’s surrogate is coming,” they added.


  Clearly in agreement with the sentiment, Khloé gave her signature stamp of approval and liked the post, perhaps confirming that things between them are amicable despite the questionable timing of Tristan’s Greek vacation.


  And with recent reports claiming that Khloé is currently dating a private equity investor she met through her older sister Kim, it’s no surprise to see that she wouldn’t be bothered by her ex’s love life.
