Khloe Kardashian has fans worried for her after she was seen enjoying what looked like a dinner date with Tristan Thompson, sparking rumors of a reconciliation.

Though sources quickly told the media the dinner wasn’t romantic, it’s doing little to quell the speculation Khloe is hoping for baby no. 3 with her on-and-off boyfriend, despite his long history of infidelity.

On Sunday, Khloe and Tristan, who share two children together, were spotted leaving Nobu Malibu after dining together.

Although they made efforts to stagger their exits and departed in separate vehicles, it was evident they had been at the restaurant at the same time.

Khloe And Tristan Were Celebrating A Friend’s Birthday

Insiders informed TMZ that while Khloe and Tristan did share a meal, it was not an intimate dinner for just the two of them. Instead, they were attending a gathering for a mutual friend’s birthday celebration.

Given that Khloe and Tristan share some common friends, it’s not unusual for them to be seen together at such events. Additionally, Corey Gamble and other members of the Kardashian-Jenner clan were apparently also in attendance.

The lack of any public displays of affection between Khloe and Tristan further supports the notion that there is nothing romantic going on between them. Despite this, their appearance together did raise eyebrows, as they are typically seen together only when their children are involved.

Khloe and Tristan ended their relationship seemingly for good in 2022. Khloe has been very clear that there is no possibility of them rekindling their romance. On a recent episode of Hulu’s The Kardashians, Khloe firmly stated that the “door is closed” on any chance of getting back together with Tristan, emphasizing that no amount of time spent together would change her mind.

Khloe Allegedly Wants Another Baby With Tristan

However, this contrasts with recent reports that the Good American founder is open to using a surrogate again with Tristan to have another child, like they did to welcome their son Tatum. It was during their surrogate’s pregnancy that Khloe discovered Tristan had fathered a baby with another woman during an affair, causing their final break-up.

“Khloe has always wanted a big family like her sisters and always said she wanted four children,” a source told The Sun. “She’s seriously considering having a third baby, via surrogate, with Tristan.”

The insider added that although Khloe has moved on from the idea of a romantic relationship with Tristan, she values his role as a father to their two children, despite his lack of involvement with his other kids.

“Their relationship might have been rocky in the past, but he’s always been a good dad and she loves co-parenting with him,” the source added.

“She’s telling friends that since his mother passed he’s really grown up as a person,” they went on. “She’s turning 40 soon and wants to take control of her life and go after what she wants – and that’s a third child.”

For now, Khloe hasn’t directly addressed the rumors she’s open to more kids with her ex.
