Khloé Kardashian and Tristan Thompson.It’s not always easy for Khloé Kardashian to keep the peace.
The Good American founder said some days are harder than others with ex-boyfriend (and co-parent) Tristan Thompson. “With me and Tristan, would it be really easy to never talk to him again and to just badmouth him or whatever? Of course,” she told tmrw magazine.
Kardashian, 39, has chosen a different path, though: “It's way harder to be nice. It's way harder when you're really mad at someone, it's really hard to sit in their face in front of your kids and be like, ‘Hi!’ Trust me, that's not how I feel every day.”
She explained, “I had to learn to take control of my feelings. There were so many times that my feelings got control of me and I was impulsive and I tweeted something or posted something and things that you regret. But in my opinion, I'll never regret being a nice person. Do I have days I want to be a petty bitch? Of course! But I sort of do that privately.”

Tristan Thompson and Khloé Kardashian in 2018.Kardashian and Thompson, 32, have two children together: True Thompson, 5, and Tatum Thompson, 17 months. Both pregnancies coincided with a revelation of infidelity by the NBA player.
Back in 2018, Kardashian learned Thompson had cheated just 48 hours before True was born. And in 2022, when Khloé and Thompson conceived their second child via surrogate, she learned — along with the world — that Thompson was also expecting a child with Maralee Nichols. (His son Theo was born on Dec. 1 that year.)
Thompson tried to make amenda for the turmoil, issuing a public statement on Instagram in the wake of the second cheating incident. “I sincerely apologize to everyone I’ve hurt or disappointed throughout this ordeal both publicly and privately,” he wrote.
He continued, “Khloé, you don’t deserve this. You don’t deserve the heartache and humiliation I have caused you. You don’t deserve the way I have treated you over the years. My actions certainly have not lined up with the way I view you. I have the utmost respect and love for you. Regardless of what you may think. Again, I am so incredibly sorry.”

In 2023, Thompson also apologized to Kardashian's younger sister Kylie Jenner, years after he shared a kiss with her best friend Jordyn Woods while still in a relationship with Kardashian.
“It’s 100 percent on me, but I want to say I’m sorry and I feel bad about it,” he told Jenner, 26, on the Nov. 16 episode of The Kardashians. “The fact that I came with my poor decisions and being a f---ing idiot and just being young and stupid, I just wanted to say I’m sorry again for that.”
