Khloé Kardashian, the reality TV star and entrepreneur, has revealed how she deals with stress and stays strong after her ex-boyfriend and father of her two children, Tristan Thompson, was suspended from the NBA for 25 games for violating the league’s anti-drug policy.
Khloe Kardashian said Working out is her therapy.
Khloe Kardashian, 39, said that she relies on exercise to cope with the challenges in her life, especially after Thompson, 32, tested positive for performance-enhancing substances and was banned from playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers until February 2024.
“Working out is my therapy,” Khloe Kardashian said in a Q&A session on Snapchat over the weekend. “For me, it’s the best way to cope with stress. It keeps me focused. It keeps me strong physically and mentally.”
The “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” alumni often shows off her workouts and fitness routines on social media and launched her activewear line, Good American, in 2016. Khloe Kardashian said she enjoys working out with her sisters, Kim and Kourtney, and her brother, Rob, who has supported her throughout her turbulent relationship with Thompson.
Co-parenting with Thompson amid cheating scandals
Khloe Kardashian and Thompson started dating in 2016 and welcomed their first child, daughter True, in 2018. However, their romance was marred by multiple cheating allegations against Thompson, who was caught on camera kissing other women while Kardashian was pregnant. 
The couple briefly split in 2019, but reconciled in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. They had their second child, son Tatum, in 2023, but broke up again in January 2024 after Thompson admitted to fathering another child with a personal trainer, Maralee Nichols, who sued him for child support.
Khloe Kardashian said that she has learned to take control of her feelings and not let them affect her co-parenting with Thompson, who remains involved in their children’s lives. She said she wants to provide a stable and loving environment for True and Tatum and does not regret having them with Thompson.
“I had to learn to take control of my feelings,” she told TMRW magazine for its January cover shoot. “There were so many times that my feelings got control of me and I was impulsive and I tweeted something or posted things that you regret.”
“Do I have days I want to be a petty bitch?” she continued. “Of course! But I do that privately.”

Looking forward to the future
Kardashian said she is not looking for a new relationship and is focusing on herself and her children. She said that she is happy with her life and has many goals and dreams she wants to pursue.
Khloe-Kardashian said she is grateful for her family, friends, and fans, who have shown her love and support throughout the years. She hopes to inspire others with her story and spread positivity and kindness worldwide.
“I’m very content with where I am,” she said. “I have so much to look forward to. I have my kids, family, businesses, and many things I’m passionate about. And I’m just excited for the next chapter.”
