Khloe Kardashian’s emotional journey through the birth of her second child with her ex-partner Tristan Thompson was revealed in the highly-anticipated premiere episode of season two of The Kardashians.
The explosive episode included footage of the child’s birth via surrogate at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on July 28, as well as the heartfelt moment when Khloe held her newborn for the first time.
However, this joyous moment was overshadowed by sadness as Khloe confessed that a ‘dark cloud was looming over’ due to Tristan’s infidelity, which came to light once again. It was discovered that Tristan had cheated on Khloe with Maralee Nichols, a Houston-based personal trainer with whom he had just welcomed another child.
In the midst of this heartbreak, Khloe decided to have her older sister Kim Kardashian in the delivery room instead of Tristan. Despite the unconventional and heartbreaking circumstances, Khloe expressed that her son’s arrival allowed her to close the chapter on this trauma.
She also revealed that Tristan encouraged her to go through with an embryo transfer around Thanksgiving the previous year, but shortly after, it was revealed that he was expecting a child with Maralee Nichols.
Speaking about her emotions after the birth, Khloe expressed her gratitude, saying that having her son allowed her to move on from the depression and sadness she had been feeling since December.
The episode showed the lead-up to the birth, with Kim accompanying Khloe to the hospital when they learned that the surrogate was in labor. Khloe admitted she was not ready, but Kim reassured her that she was prepared to welcome another child into their lives.
Khloe’s decision to allow Tristan to meet his baby boy was also captured on camera. She explained that she had been unsure about it, but since Tristan wanted to be there, she decided to let him be a part of the moment.
In the delivery room, Khloe and Kim captured the emotional moment of the surrogate giving birth, and Khloe’s son was born and welcomed into the world.
Overall, the episode provided an intimate look into Khloe Kardashian’s emotional journey as she welcomed her second child, despite the challenges and heartbreak she faced along the way.
