Tristan adds, ‘I’m two steps away so I can always come back,’ as Corey says, ‘So that’s good for everybody, the kids and everything.’

Tristan looks at Tatum and says, ‘When Papa’s at the house, the house is whole, right papa?’

Tristan had been living with his ex Khloe since the start of Season 4, when his mother Andrea passed away and the roof of his house collapsed.

He has been the primary caretaker for his teenage brother Amari, who has special needs, since his mother’s passing.

It was revealed on this week’s episode that, after several weeks, Tristan finally moved back into his own house.

Despite cheating on Khloe several times, she has been met with pleas from mother Kris Jenner and best friend Malika Haqq to get back with Tristan.

During a lunch date with Malika, she tells Khloe, ‘Maybe think about it this way. Maybe you might wanna try to save your family. Maybe you might want to give this a shot despite…’

Khloe adds, ‘But I’ve tried to save my family a couple times, and, you wanna make God laugh, tell him your plans. Guess what buddy, I’ve got no more plans. Stop laughing at me. I just want like my life a little bit.’

‘I don’t know, I don’t know what it is, it’s definitely not now,’ Khloe says with a sigh, as the episode comes to an end.

In court documents filed last month, Jordan Briani Craig, the mother of the basketball player’s six-year-old son Prince, accused the father-of-four of being behind on the monthly payments to the tune of $224,000.

The athlete, 32, was revealed to have been doling out $40,000 every month to his ex since April 2019 after the former couple had reached a child support settlement that year, DailyMail.com reported in August.

But in a declaration submitted on September 13 to a Los Angeles court and obtained by DailyMail.com, Craig revealed that Thompson has only been making ‘either partial payments or missing child support payments altogether,’ since November 2022.
