It’s over for Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson. Multiple sources told ET on Monday that the 36-year-old reality star and the 30-year-old NBA player have once again called it quits.

Her sisters are being super supportive of her… her family is rallying around her.”
The source said that despite photos and videos published by multiple outlets that allegedly show Thompson being intimate with unknown women, the family was trying to make sure Khloe focuses on the thing that matters right now, which was the birth of her daughter. Meanwhile, another source said that Khloe was “completely devastated,” explaining, “Tristan is a man Khloe built a life with and saw as her forever. Khloe’s mother, Kris, flew to Cleveland to be with her and support her in whatever she needs.”
