Whether you keep up with them or not, it's been hard to avoid this week's instalment of Kardashian drama. Khloé Kardashian, the youngest sister of the famous family—not counting Kendall and Kylie, who are technically Jenners—is due to give birth to her first child any day now, and her boyfriend, Tristan Thompson, has been allegedly caught out cheating on her.
As with all Kardashian-related stories, there are many parts to this, and it can be hard to keep up with all of it.
If you need a handy breakdown of everything that's happened, keep reading.
Khloé And Tristan's Story
Khloé Kardashian, 33, and Tristan Thompson, 27, were first linked together in August 2016 when they were spotted leaving a nightclub in LA just minutes apart. Other appearances made it apparent that they were seeing each other, and then in September 2016 they made their first official appearance together at Flo Rida's birthday party in Miami.
Kardashian—who was previously married to Lamar Odom for eight years—started posting more photos on social media of Thompson, proving that the two were in a solid relationship. In April 2017, she told ES Magazine that she had "never been in this type of love" and said she would marry Thompson if he asked.
In December 2017, after months of speculation, Kardashian confirmed that she was pregnant with the couple's child—her first, after years of wanting to be a mother. "My greatest dream realized!" she wrote on Instagram. "We are having a baby! I had been waiting and wondering but God had a plan all along. He knew what He was doing. I simply had to trust in Him and be patient. I still at times can't believe that our love created life! Tristan, thank you for loving me the way that you do! Thank you for treating me like a Queen! Thank you for making me feel beautiful at all stages! Tristan, most of all, Thank you for making me a MOMMY!!! You have made this experience even more magical than I could have envisioned! I will never forget how wonderful you've been to me during this time! Thank you for making me so happy my love! Thank you to everyone for the love and positive vibes! I know we've been keeping this quiet but we wanted to enjoy this between our family and close friends as long as we could privately. To enjoy our first precious moments just us. Thank you all for understanding. I am so thankful, excited, nervous, eager, overjoyed and scared all in one! But it's the best bundle of feelings I've ever felt in my life!"
It was later confirmed in an episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians that the couple is expecting a baby girl. Kardashian's due date was predicted to be early April, and there were reports earlier this week that she had already gone into labour.
The Alleged Cheating Incident
On Wednesday, the Daily Mail published photos and video footage that allegedly show Tristan Thompson kissing a mystery woman at PH-D Lounge, a rooftop bar in Manhattan, on Saturday night.
Further to this, The Shade Room obtained video of Thompson and the same woman arriving at his hotel at 5am after leaving the bar.
This was just days before Kardashian was due to give birth.
The Older Video That's Just Surfaced
In case the first two videos weren't enough, on the same day TMZ dropped video footage, reportedly from October 2017, that depicts Thompson in a precarious situation with two other women at a hookah lounge. He can be seen kissing one of them and then leaning into the chest of the other.
It's believed Kardashian would have been around three months pregnant at that time.
The Other Woman
The woman Thompson allegedly cheated on Kardashian with on the weekend has been identified as Lani Blair. According to Page Six, Blair is a 28-year-old "strip club bartender" who works at a "seedy" club in Queens called Club Angels.
An insider told Page Six that she "makes a lot of money behind the bar." She also has a surprisingly popular Instagram account, with more than 360,000 followers—Snoop Dogg, Chris Brown and Blac Chyna among them. Given the current situation, Blair has switched her account to private.
The Ex-Girlfriend
Then we have Jordan Craig. The 26-year-old "Instagram model" and lifestyle blogger has come to everyone's attention again because she is Thompson's ex-girlfriend, and the mother of his first son, Prince Oliver Thompson.
Why does Thompson's ex have anything to do this? It's because some people believe this is history repeating itself, or karma. It was reported that Thompson may have cheated on Craig when she was pregnant with their child, with Kardashian. Consider the timing: Thompson and Kardashian were first linked together in August 2016, and Craig gave birth to their son in December.
Given this turn of events, all eyes turned to Craig to see if she would comment on the cheating allegations. She ended up posting the following statement to her Instagram Story, which some have read as a show of support for Kardashian: "If you respect yourself and you respect others, you would never make light of the misfortune of anyone, nor would you feel indemnified when it comes at the expense of others. Wishing peace for everyone."
The Conspiracy Theory
Given the timing of this cheating scandal, it's no surprise that some Kardashian critics believe this whole thing may have been a PR stunt orchestrated by the best momager of them all, Kris Jenner. Given the Kardashian matriarch's history of capitalising on her children's most controversial moments to create headlines and memorable moments for their show, Keeping Up With the Kardashians—including Kim Kardashian West's infamous sex tape, her Paris robbery, and Kylie Jenner's secret pregnancy—it's not hard to see why some think this whole thing has been planned.
It's all in the timing. Perhaps the arrival of Khloé Kardashian's first child has lacked the usual buzz and interest, given the recent births of West and Jenner's daughters.
No one from the Kardashian camp has officially responded to the cheating allegations, and neither has Thompson. Interestingly, the famous family has continued to post on social media, but the content has been completely unrelated.
There have been reports that the devastating news has caused Kardashian to go into labour.
It's unknown what this means for Kardashian and Thompson's relationship, but a source told People that the family is focusing on the baby first, with Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian West flying to Cleveland, Ohio, to be with her for the birth.
After all, it's always family first for the Kardashians.
