WHEN Khloe Kardashian kicked baby daddy Tristan to the curb after his cheating scandal, it was hard to imagine a scenario where they would ever kiss and make up.
But there are many signs the two could be back together again.
Khloe and Tristan first heated up in 2016, and the pair put on a racy display on social media that Halloween as they partied together.
They officially confirmed their relationship shortly after Khloe's divorce from her ex-husband, Lamar Odom, was finalized at the end of 2016.
A year later, she confirmed her first pregnancy with Tristan.
On April 12, 2018, she gave birth to daughter True – with Tristan by her side.
Amid rumors and confirmations of infidelity, the two had an on-and-off relationship for years.
But the biggest bombshell dropped in June 2021 when personal trainer Maralee Nichols claimed she was pregnant with Tristan's baby and revealed she would be suing him for child support.
The fitness model welcomed the baby boy named Theo in December, and after months of speculation and denials, Tristan's paternity test proved he was the father of the child, and he apologized to Khloe.
Then, in July 2022, Khloe and Tristan welcomed their second child together by surrogate.

Check out all the hints below.
TRISTAN'S TRAGEDY
After months apart, a personal loss brought Tristan and Khloe back together.
Just after the start of the year, Tristan's mother suddenly passed.
Andrea Thompson suffered a heart attack at her home in Toronto, Canada, and was rushed to the hospital, where she died.
Tristan flew to Toronto on a private jet as soon as he could, and Khloe joined him.
The model posted a lengthy Instagram tribute to Andrea.
The Good American founder, who has two children with Tristan, shared several photos with his mom from over the years.
“I have so many emotions and still I feel numb,” she wrote in the caption.
“Life can be brutally unfair at times and this has been one of the toughest times in so many of our lives.”
Khloe also praised Andrea’s four sons, including Tristan, as “warriors.”
She specifically mentioned Amari, Tristan’s 17-year-old brother who suffers from epilepsy.
“We will all look after him, help him and protect him,” she wrote.
KRIS'S TRIBUTE
Khloe wasn't the only member of her family to pay an emotional tribute to Andrea.
Just days after her passing, mom Kris Jenner posted a heartfelt tribute to Tristan Thompson's late mother on social media.
She shared a series of photos of Khloe's ex's mother on social media from various family events through the years.
The Kardashian momager kicked off her lengthy and somber post with: "I am so heartbroken by the sudden passing of Tristan's mom, Andrea. My thoughts, prayers and all of my love are with Tristan, Amari, Dishawn, and Daniel."
Kris, 66, went on: "You were the most amazing, dedicated, devoted, and selfless mom and such a loving, kind, and fabulous grandmother. What a blessing you were to your family!!!
"I will miss you Andrea. I will miss your bright spirit and amazing light. Thank you for always praying for us and lifting us up and encouraging us along the way."
Her post concluded with: "Rest in peace beautiful angel."
HOME SWEET HOME
After his loss, Tristan tried to move closer to Khloe – literally.
The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed a trust associated with Tristan signed a deed on the six-bedroom home that's only two miles away from Khloe and Kris Jenner's side-by-side mansions.
After Tristan sold his Encino mansion in May 2022 for $7.8million, he took his time to find the perfect home to settle into while navigating his new contract with the Chicago Bulls and his rocky relationship with Khloe.
A trust associated with Tristan signed a deed for the massive 10,584-square-foot property on December 16, 2022.
The luxury home comes with a home theater, a private gym room, a refrigerated wine cellar, and a spacious five-car garage.
Other features on the property include a private pool and spa, a covered patio, a beautiful garden, and even a private half-basketball court.
UNDER WHERE?
Fans think Khloe might have sent subliminal messages to Tristan in a social media post around Valentine's Day.
The reality star posted a snap of undies that had romantic sayings on them to her Instagram stories, fueling beliefs the two are secretly dating again.
In the photo added to her stories, there were several pairs of thong panties, a few silk nightwear camisoles, and a bra.
Some of the phrases that were written across the panties included: "Love me for me, OK?," "Talk Less and Say More," and "Late Night Snack."
The other expressions on the other pairs of underwear were: "Foreva Eva," and "Sweet Sweet Fantasy."
All of the items in the picture were either colored red, fuchsia, light pink, or purple-pink.
Khloe captioned the picture: "Cutest overload."
BETRAYING BESTIES
Khloe's bestie, Malika Haqq, further fueled rumors with a cryptic message on her Instagram Stories.
Malika posted a meme that reads: "Thanks for not telling. Best friends don't tell," and tagged Khloé in the post.
KIM'S BUDDY
Tristan was also recently spotted with Khloe's sister Kim Kardashian during their stroll across a parking lot in Los Angeles, California, outside of her daughter North's basketball game.
Fans on a popular Kardashian Reddit were quick to question the outing, with one writing: "so is he back in the family now ? … I give it a few weeks before him and Khloe get spotted out and about."
Another wrote: "Seems eerily similar to when they were all chummy with Lamar after his tragic experience. I don’t expect this to be long terms unless they do end up back together."
"Probably a way to soft launch him. Safest with Kim cause she’s been the meanest to him publicly so if she forgives him than everyone might?" hypothesized another.
PARTY PARTNERS?
On March 10, Khloe and Tristan were spotted partying together at her best friends Malika and Khadijah Haqq’s 40th birthday.
The reality star arrived at the event around 8pm in a seriously sexy cutout silver dress that featured drawstring detail on the bust.
The TV personality teamed it with a chunky silver choker necklace and strappy heels and kept warm in a long black coat.
The Good American co-founder was sporting long white nails and dark sunglasses and carried a silver handbag as she made her way inside.
Tristan showed up about two hours later, wearing a black leather jacket and diamond jewelry.
Suspiciously enough, Khloe and her ex left the building at the same time around 1am, though out of different exits.
The mother-of-two was spotted heading out the back door, while her baby daddy left out the front.
BIRTHDAY TRIBUTE
For Tristan's 32nd birthday on March 14, Khloe shared a series of photos, as well as a lengthy Instagram caption to the father of her two children.
The Good American co-founder's caption read: "Happy birthday @realtristan13 You are truly the best father, brother & uncle. Your love, attention, silly dances, hugs, carpool rides, bedtime rituals, the way u show up for them."
The Kardashians star continued: "All of the above means more than you’ll ever know to your family of littles. My birthday wish for u is that u continue to crave change, healing, and transformation. Be strong, be kind, be patient, be free. Continue to Make your soul and your mommy proud."
The mother-of-two ended the heartfelt message with a flirty sign-off, writing: "Happy birthday baby daddy."
