The drama of the Jordyn Woods and Tristan Thompson cheating scandal unfolded on Keeping Up With The Kardashians on Sunday, with part two set to air the following week.
And despite the difficulty of dealing with such a betrayal from him, finding out about it was what made Khloe Kardashian ‘realize’ he would ‘never change,’ according to People.
The 34-year-old’s relationship and the 28-year-old NBA player were ‘not in a proper relationship’ when the Jordyn scandal happened – as the duo were still recovering from his first cheating scandal the year prior.
Khloe and Tristan’s relationship was already on the rocks before the scandal with Jordyn was revealed in February.
People’s source said: ‘When the Jordyn drama happened, Khloe and Tristan were not in a proper relationship. They had not been for weeks,’ adding that they ‘didn’t even spend Valentine’s Day together, which was right before he messed around with Jordyn.’
While they were on fragile ground before the Jordyn betrayal, Khloe was still hopeful of reconciling with Tristan, according to their insider.
The rocky relationship prior didn’t ‘mean that it was completely over for Khloe. It was very difficult for her to find out about Tristan and Jordyn.’

However the Jordyn/Tristan scandal ‘is what made her realize that Tristan would never change,’ something that ‘was very heartbreaking for her’ to come to terms with.’
Khloe and Tristan are done for good People reported: ‘Now, she would never go back with Tristan, She knows that he will never change.’
While Tristan tried everything he could to get her back, she was ‘too angry and disappointed with him,’ People reported.
Their insider said: ‘Instead of going back and forth with Tristan, she made a decision for herself that she needed to never go back to him.’
The Good American co-founder, who shares daughter True, 14 months, with Tristan, ‘always hoped’ there could be a way to work things out with him for the sake of their daughter.
Khloe wanted True to live with both of her parents.
In February, news that Tristan cheated on Jordyn at his home broke; Jordyn, 21, went on Jada Pinkett Smith’s Red Table Talk to speak out on it.
Kylie Jenner’s former best friend said she was ‘no homewrecker’ and she didn’t break them up, adding he kissed her on the way out of his home the next day with no passion and no tongue.
He had a house party and she stayed there with friends overnight, according to Jordyn.
The Instagram model denied they went further than a kiss.
Soon after the scandal broke, she moved out of Kylie Jenner’s mansion to live with her mom Elizabeth Woods.
In Sunday’s episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, the drama of Tristan and Jordyn unfolded.
The episode kicked off with Khloe telling mom Kris Jenner and sister Kylie Jenner that she was dealing with nausea and debilitating migraines for the past few months.
They trio all took pregnancy tests while at Kylie’s home – revealing that no one was pregnant.
Khloe was relieved it came back negative: ‘I’m happy that I’m not pregnant because I didn’t want to be, but with that being said, now I’m like, “Why the f**k am I nauseous all the time?” I almost wish I was so I could say that’s why I’m nauseous.’
The star, who said she was throwing up blood and is blind in her left eye due to the migraines, had an MRI to make sure it had nothing to do with her brain.
Jordyn made a brief appearance in the episode while touring Khloe’s home with Kendall and Kylie Jenner; Khloe was set to do renovations in her master bedroom and bathroom.
Before she could further investigate the cause of her migraines, news of Jordyn and Tristan broke: ‘It’s disgusting. I’ll never understand the depths of this… I was just hoping for a better outcome for my daughter and for myself.’
Khloe also claimed that Tristan was having suicidal thoughts.
As the family rallied around Khloe during the difficult time, the mother of one said: ‘I feel like I’m so heartbroken. Right now, I don’t feel much of anything. I’m in shock. This is a debilitating blow to my soul. It’s so humiliating, its hard. There are some days you just want to cry.’

Khloe said on the episode: ‘I just think everyone is so twisted. Jordyn didn’t think about me, she didn’t think about Kylie.. she didn’t think about my daughter. She didn’t think about Tristan. And she didn’t think about herself. They’re both at fault. I’m not blaming just Jordyn. Tristan, we’ve all know what he was capable of.’
She continued: ‘Look what he did when I was nine months pregnant. I knew who he was. I never in a million years thought that’s who she was.’
In April of last year, Dailymail.com revealed Tristan had cheated on the then-pregnant Khloe with a strip club worker from New York City named Lani Blair.
At the time, other outlets reported additional women; however despite the cheating scandal, Khloe remained with Tristan until last week when she split with the athlete.
They welcomed daughter True on April 14, 2018.
