Khloe Kardashian has addressed the criticism she has received for maintaining a close relationship with her ex-boyfriend Tristan Thompson as they co-parent their two children.

Khloe responded to the backlash from trolls who disapproved of her ongoing connection with Tristan, despite their past issues. The couple, who started dating in 2016, share two children, True and Tatum Thompson. They ended their relationship in 2021 after Tristan fathered a child with another woman.

Despite their rocky breakup, Khloe has stayed close to Tristan, a decision she defended in a recent episode of “The Kardashians.” The founder of Good American also criticized those judging her for not dating since their split.

In a candid moment, Khloe shared, “I feel like everyone has been really judgy about how I spend my time because I’m not dating. I stopped dating Tristan when Tatum was in utero, so I don’t know, two and a half years of not dating is not that crazy.”

She continued, “I love that it’s good for the kids, but now that he’s in Cleveland, this is really healthy for us because when Tristan was next door he was always over, wanting to put the kids to sleep. He loved the routine.”

In another part of the episode, Khloe met with Scott Disick at his mansion. During their conversation, she mentioned how her exhaustion often keeps her from dating.

“Once I’m done with the kids at nine, I have limited time. I have to be up at 4:30. 9pm to 4:30am, that’s my time. I’m not sharing it with a man, I’m not sharing my TV, I’m not sharing my bed,” she explained.

When Scott asked if she would consider reconciling with Tristan, Khloe firmly said “no.” She elaborated in a confessional, “This is life, we all gotta grow up and move on.”

Scott praised Khloe for her effective co-parenting with Tristan, saying, “That’s great that you’re super friendly.” Khloe replied, “Yeah

, I’m not… What am I gonna be a monster for?”
