Khloé Kardashian revealed which cheating scandal hurt her the most
Khloé Kardashian previously opened up about the issues she's had with unfaithful partners in the past.
Unfortunately, the reality TV star, 41, hasn't been the luckiest in love and has been the victim of multiple public cheating scandals.
She experienced infidelity by both her ex-husband, Lamar Odom, whom she was married to for seven years, and her ex-boyfriend, Tristan Thompson, during their on-and-off five-year-long relationship.
During an appearance on Alex Cooper's Call Her Daddy podcast in April 2025, Kardashian opened up on both situations and revealed what hurt her the most.

The mother-of-two recalled finding former NBA star Odom, whom she tied the knot with in 2009 and divorced in 2016, in a motel with a woman in Los Angeles.
She said on the podcast episode: "I was young, like maybe 26. I saw in the window that him and this girl were either naked or she was in lingerie, something like that, but I knocked on the door, they answered it for some reason, and I just started going ballistic.”
She continued: “He could not understand how I knew where he was. I was like, ‘I don't give a s**t, I'm not telling anybody anything, and why are you in a motel in downtown LA at 3:00 in the morning?'"
Kardashian began dating Canadian basketball player Thompson in 2016, and they were together off and on until they split for good in 2021.
They welcomed two children together - a seven-year-old daughter named True, and a three-year-old son called Tatum.
Their relationship was hit with a very public scandal in 2018 when Kardashian learned that Thompson had cheated on her, two days after she gave birth to True in 2018.
Then in 2019 he was once again caught being unfaithful, as he was accused of kissing Kardashian's best friend Jordyn Woods, at a party.
Discussing how she took him back after the first time, she admitted: “I think the worst part of that experience was how much I let my younger sisters down because I remember they were like, ‘He’s going to do this again. Don’t stay with him.
"I remember the disappointment in them. They would never say that to me, and they’ve never said that to me, but I’ve always felt how much I’ve disappointed them by staying and doing that again."
When asked which betrayal hurt her the most, Kardashian said, "I think the first one hurt the most because I was pregnant. Also, I didn't get to sit with my feelings enough with the first one.
"I gave birth 48 hours later, after the first cheating scandal happened with Tristan."
Kardashian admitted she 'buried her head in the sand'.
She added: "I just wanted to have this bliss that I always dream of, and have a brand new baby and have the daddy here. When you’ve never been in that position, it's really easy to judge and to say things. "
But she later mused: “Maybe the second one hurt more because I lived with it for so much longer, and maybe I've had more shame with the second scandal because I sort of knew it was gonna happen again."
