Last summer, a source told PEOPLE that Kim encouraged the Good American co-founder to pursue surrogacy after welcoming her younger two children,Psalm, 4, andChicago, 5, via surrogacy after experiencing complications in her pregnancies withSaint, 7, andNorth, 9.
“Khloé tried to get pregnant for a while. When this didn’t work out, they decided to explore other options. Kim supported and encouraged Khloe to find a surrogate,” the source said at the time.
The insider said that Khloé was “elated” to learn her surrogate was pregnant in December, but the situation became “bittersweet” when she discovered the NBA player fathered a child withMaralee Nicholsduring their romantic relationship. Khloé and Thompson had been in an on-again, off-again relationship since 2016 and welcomed daughter True in 2018.
