Khloé Kardashian's ex-boyfriend Tristan Thompson recently confessed that the reality TV star encouraged him to get a vasectomy prior to their break-up in 2021.

During an interview with his former partner’s “Khloé in Wonder Land” podcast on Thursday, May 28, the retired NBA player revealed the role the reality star played in his vasectomy.

“I already have enough baby mommas, I don’t want no more,” he said.

Then "The Kardashians” reality TV star chimed in and said, “And who helped you fix that decision? That was me. Tristan may have had a little ultimatum from me.” 

Thompson then went on to admit that Kardashian helped him in a way because “sometimes you have to get forced into the right decision.” 

Kardashian and Thompson share two children together, eight year old daughter True and their son Tatum, who is three years old.

He also has two more children from his past relationships.

When asked whether he wants more children in the future with a new potential partner, Thompson responded no.

“I think I signed off for two embryos. So, I mean, if I do have more kids, it'd be coming from you.” 

He further maintained firm boundaries regarding future relationships, specifically concerning the circumstances under which he would allow his four children to meet a new partner.

“It’s a hard no. I'll just say I don't think it's wise for parents to introduce a boyfriend or a girlfriend to their kids unless you're going to get married to them. 

“Because I'm not going to confuse my kids where if something doesn’t work, then this person is gone and then you have to kind of recalibrate everyone's brain,” he said.

Thompson further added: “The reality is I don't think our kids would ever approve of it. True is very protective of me, and Tatum is - our kids are very protective of each other.”

The former couple dated on and off for about six years until they called it quits due to Thompson’s infidelity during their relationship. 

However, the final break-up was in 2021 following reports about Thompson’s paternity scandal, where it was reported that Thompson had a child with another woman.
