Speech on Wednesday, February 11, episode of her podcast, “Khloe in Wonder Land,” Kardashian, 41, recalled Thompson, 34, arranging for the singer give to serenade him.
“There was one time when they serenaded me, and I think it was a random day because I wasn’t expecting it,” Kardashian began.
Kardashian and Thompson were on and off in 2016 and late 2021, with their romance plagued by Thompson’s infidelity scandals. The former couple are now parents to True, 7, and Tatum, 3.
Maybe next time he’ll think before he cheats? Khloé Kardashian hasn’t held back when it comes to her relationship with on-again, off-again boyfriend Tristan Thompson. Two days before the reality star gave birth to daughter True in Cleveland on April 12, 2018, pictures surfaced of the NBA star kissing and cuddling up to (…)
“That was years ago. Tatum wasn’t born. Yes, it was true,” Kardashian said of the “mortifying” experience.
“Giveon wasn’t who he was now. And he’s just singing,” she continued. “I remember hating Tristan and saying, ‘Why are you doing this?’ And Gibeon is pouring out his heart. And Tristan is trying to sit next to me and I’m like, slapping him, and poor Giveon keeps singing. It was mortifying.”
Kardashian said she enlisted True’s help in an effort to make the whole situation a little less awkward.
“I was like, ‘God, this guy’s a great singer. I love this guy.’ And I remember going in to get True because she was like, ‘I just need a third person to get away from Tristan,'” Kardashian said. “I was really upset with Tristan.”
In April 2025, Kardashian spoke up Us Weekly exclusively to go through “a lot of therapy” and “self-reflection” after her past public relations. (She was also previously married to Lamar Odom.)

And I think you’d have to be very special to alter my current lifestyle and my schedule and how I prioritize my time, and even make me feel those butterflies. I think I’m a pretty watchful and persistent person right now.”
In a January episode of “Khloe in Wonder Land,” Khloé also explained it like her and her sisters who i Kourtney Kardashian i Kendall i Kylie Jenner decide when to make their relationships public.
“None of us are really sitting around going, ‘Oh, in three weeks we should be talking about (how) I’m dating this person.’ That doesn’t happen. I think you just know when you’re dating someone, if you’re just dating and you know it’s not going anywhere, you’re casually dating someone,” Khloé shared. “But if you’re in a real relationship, where you’re in love, you might want to be more public with that person.”
Khloé added that she prefers to keep her romances on the down-low for as long as possible.
“I personally, based on my past experiences, the longer you can keep something private, I think the more chances there are for that relationship,” he said. “But also, maybe you’re dating someone and you’re like, ‘I’m just sleeping with this person.’ I don’t make it public at all.’ You can sleep with them for two years and you never want to make it public. You just have to know the energy of that relationship.”
