The Good American co-founder shares why in this week’s episode of ‘The Kardashians’

Khloé Kardashian’s daughter True isn’t aware that her parents aren’t together — and the mom of two isn’t looking to change that.

On this week’s episode of The Kardashians, the Good American co-founder gets ready to celebrate her 40th birthday at a Dolly Parton-themed party. In one scene before the party, Kardashian is driving with her best friend Malika Haqq, and the two discuss how neither of them is married.

“True thinks me and Tristan are married,” Kardashian says at one point about herself and her ex Tristan Thompson.

“It’s just probably better for her. It’s not like she would really understand,” Haqq responds. “It’s okay.”

“It is the right thing to do. In my opinion. Get married, have kids. That’s what I want to teach her,” Kardashian says.

In a confessional, Kardashian explains that although there’s “one thing” that bothers her about True thinking she’s still with Tristan, she’s happy to keep her kids out of “adult problems.”

“True thinks that me and Tristan are married. The only thing that bothers me about that would be I don’t want True going through life thinking this is what a marriage is,” she explains. “That you’re married to someone and they don’t live with you and you never have to kiss them, or you don’t sleep in the same bed together.”

“I would love my kids to see me have a husband one day, and I would love them to see love and affection and romance,” Kardashian continues. “I do want them to have that. And when she’s older, I can explain it to her. But right now, I believe you do things for your kids because kids should not be involved in adult problems.”

Kardashian shares her son Tatum, 2, and daughter True with Thompson. The two were on and off for a few years before ultimately splitting in June 2021 after Kardashian discovered Tristan was expecting a baby with another woman that December.
