Tristan Thompson revealed he had a vasectomy at Khloe Kardashian’s request, the former couple confirming the news on her podcast on Thursday, 28 May 2026, as reported by E! Online.
The disclosure came during an episode of Khloe’s Khloé in Wonder Land podcast, in which the two sat down for what turned into a remarkably open conversation about the terms of their post-breakup relationship.
Khloe described the vasectomy as something she had pushed Tristan toward before their final split in 2021.
“He may have had a little ultimatum from me,” she said on the episode.
The Tristan Thompson vasectomy reveal
Tristan confirmed on the podcast that he went through with the procedure and that he has also legally signed over parental rights to two embryos to Khloe. If he does have more children in future, they will come from Khloe, he confirmed.
The couple have not publicly disclosed the full details of the embryo agreement beyond what was shared during the conversation.
The two share a daughter, True, who turns 8 this year, and a son, Tatum, who is 3. Khloe conceived Tatum via surrogate following their final breakup in 2021, a split triggered by the revelation that Tristan had fathered a child with a third woman.
Tristan’s relationship history has been extensively documented. He was unfaithful to Khloe during her first pregnancy in 2018, and in late 2021 it became public that he had fathered a son named Theo with personal trainer Maralee Nichols while still in a relationship with Khloe.
That revelation effectively ended things for good.
For Khloe, the vasectomy and embryo arrangements appear to reflect a desire for certainty after years of very public betrayal.
The Kardashian-Jenner family has been open about the impact Tristan’s infidelities had on Khloe across multiple seasons of their reality series.
What Khloe Kardashian said about the embryo rights
The embryo transfer is the more legally significant detail from the episode. By signing over parental rights to the embryos, Tristan has effectively given Khloe sole control over whether those embryos result in a future child.
The arrangement gives her unilateral decision-making over any potential third child they might have together.
Khloe has not publicly stated whether she intends to use the embryos. Her relationship with Tristan, while no longer romantic, appears to have settled into a co-parenting arrangement that the podcast conversation brought into unusually candid public view.
What happens next
The Khloé in Wonder Land episode has generated significant attention online since its release on Thursday, 28 May 2026. Whether the vasectomy revelation prompts further legal or personal developments between the two is not known.
For now, the episode stands as a moment of uncommon transparency from both parties on a subject most people would keep firmly private.
The transfer of embryo rights to Khloe is legally binding and would require a separate legal process to undo.
Tristan’s future fertility, outside of the existing embryos, is limited under the current arrangement to those specific embryos alone.
