“Isn’t God just funny how you were so ready to have your year of like, being free and now Tristan had to move in with you, his little brother had to move in with you [and] his roof caved in?”Kim Kardashianasked during a sit down conversation with Khloé and their motherKris Jenner. “What are the chances? You can’t leave him.”
“My No. 1 slogan I always use: ‘You want to make God laugh, tell him your plans,'” she noted, before explaining that, “God does have a plan, and God doesn’t want him to be alone right now — and why should he be?”
“Tristan and I are not back together,” she said, setting the record straight. “I know it’s hard for everyone to believe but I love love love Andrea and I love Tristan. I love Amari, and this is what family does. Tristan is the father of my kids.”

Khloé also recalled her own experiences with losing her fatherRobert Kardashianat a young age. While describing him as a"fairy tale parent,“she admitted she couldn’t “wrap my head around losing my mom” and noted the close relationship Tristan had with Andrea.
“It’sjust heartbreakingand then to be left with the responsibility of another person as well it’s a lot,” she continued, referring to Amari and the responsibility of caring for his special needs now passed onto Tristan.
“I just think this is what family does when s— hits the fan,” she added. “All you have is your family, and Tristan and I are family and we’re going to be family for the rest of our lives.”
