Khloé Kardashian and her ex Tristan Thompson are in a good place.

During a podcast appearance on Tuesday, May 7, Kardashian, 39, mentioned that Thompson, 33, has made mistakes in their relationship. However, she has no intention of criticizing the NBA player.

"He's such a nice guy and we have a great relationship now. Even though we're not meant to be together, he was always meant to be the father of our kids," she mentioned. "I'm really grateful that we get along so well, especially because my parents, Kris Jenner and Robert Kardashian, had a great relationship too."

Kardashian and Thompson share a daughter named True, who is 6 years old, and a son named Tatum, who is 21 months old. They were in an on-and-off relationship from 2016 to 2021. The final split came after it was revealed that Thompson had fathered a son named Theo, who is now 2 years old, with Maralee Nichols around the same time Kardashian was expecting their second child via surrogate.

Thompson openly shared his intention to talk about his mistakes with True in a future episode of The Kardashians, airing in 2023.

He expressed to Kourtney Kardashian, Khloé's sister, that he believes it is his responsibility to have that conversation with True. Thompson admitted, "Daddy failed you and Mommy... Mommy didn't fail you."

Khloé has shared before how she chooses to have a friendly coparenting relationship with Tristan, despite their past difficulties.

In an interview with Tmrw magazine in January, the Good American founder explained, “It would be easy for me to never speak to Tristan again and to speak badly about him. But it's much harder to be kind. It's challenging to be pleasant when you're upset with someone, especially when you have to interact with them in front of your children."

Khloé acknowledged that she “had to learn to take control of [her] feelings” in order to make peace with Thompson, but she’s glad she did.

Khloe Kardashian shared on Instagram that there were moments when her emotions took over and she acted impulsively by tweeting or posting things she later regretted. Despite these instances, she believes that she will never regret being a kind person.

Khloé has firmly closed the door on her romantic relationship with Tristan. A source exclusively told Us in May 2023 that the reality star "can't imagine" the pair getting back together. However, she hasn't made any new connections either.

According to a second source who exclusively spoke to Us last month, Khloé isn't currently dating anyone. She is focused on being a mom and is very happy with that right now. Khloé has a very small circle of friends and family and feels supported and happy. Love isn't on her mind at the moment.
