Khloé Kardashian is showing that no topic is off limits on her new Khloé in Wonderland podcast. Even her exes seem to be fair game, as she discusses both Lamar Odom and Tristan Thompson on the show. Khloé filed for divorce from Odom in December 2013, but it was finalized in 2016 after being paused when Odom experienced a near-fatal drug overdose in 2015.
At one point in the July 2 episode, the reality star chose to crowdsource questions she promised to answer honestly. When one listener specifically asked if Khloé Kardashian could remember a time when she felt “like the strongest version” of herself, the internationally renowned personality paused briefly before answering thoughtfully.
“I feel like I’ve had many moments that sort of prepared me for other situations in my life, where I was able to endure them. So I feel like everything that happens in our lives is meant to happen, and even if they’re not all positive situations, I do think that there’s steps in why things happen to you.”
It appears that Khloé's very public struggles with Lamar prepared her for the hardships she later faced with Tristan.
Khloé Kardashian opens up
Khloé Kardashian started dating Tristan Thompson shortly after finalizing her divorce from Lamar Odom. She says the first major blow to her relationship with Tristan happened when he was caught cheating publicly while she was pregnant with their first child.
“That was sort of a stepping stone, if you will, for the next big traumatic thing that happened to me, [which] was when Tristan cheated on me right before I gave birth.”
Khloé Kardashian was clearly stunned by Thompson's actions. She continues to say,
“Obviously no one can prepare you for something like that. And it wasn't the cheating that’s like, ‘Ugh.’ People get cheated on. It’s more that I was nine months pregnant — I was having a baby two days later — and it was so public and it was everywhere. But I think I handled it the best that I knew how because I almost got a little experience of it, or a lot of experience of it, from my divorce with Lamar. So it sort of prepared me.”
Khloé further elaborated on her state of mind at the time,
“But if it was maybe just the one-off situation and while you have these newly fresh hormones and you’re just trying to even be a first time mom or be present in this moment and experience this moment, I don’t know if I would've been able just to handle that isolated incident,”
Despite Tristan having cheated on her with Kylie Jenner's best friend, Jordyn Woods, Khloé eventually agreed to mend fences. The pair even had a son named Tatum via surrogacy in 2022. However, they finally separated for good in January 2022 when Khloé Kardashian learned he had secretly fathered a child with another woman while they were still together.
