Khloe Kardashian's daughter True is pushing her toward a 3rd child
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Reality television star Khloe Kardashian has revealed that her 8-year-old daughter True is actively lobbying her to have a third child — specifically a sister — using a frozen embryo she still has from IVF treatments. The disclosure came during the latest episode of her podcast 'Khloe in Wonder Land', recorded with guest Paige DeSorbo, a 33-year-old TV personality.
What Khloe Said on the Podcast
Khloe, who shares True, 8, and Tatum, 4, with her ex-partner, basketball player Tristan Thompson, 35, was candid about her indecision. 'All True does, she wants a sister,' Khloe said on the episode. She confirmed she has an embryo 'in the freezer' — a result of undergoing IVF with Thompson — but added, 'She's on ice, but I just don't know.'
Tatum was born via surrogacy in 2022, making him Khloe's second child and youngest. The frozen embryo, if used, would also be conceived with Thompson's genetic material from the same IVF process.
The Sister Debate: Khloe's Family Background
Growing up with four sisters — Kourtney Kardashian, 47, Kim Kardashian, 45, Kendall Jenner, 30, and Kylie Jenner, 29 — has shaped Khloe's belief that 'girls need a sister.' However, she was quick to question whether that conviction is genuine or conditioned, saying, 'But am I just programmed to think that?'
Guest DeSorbo, who does not have a sister herself, offered a counterpoint, noting that closeness between siblings is ultimately a reflection of parenting rather than gender. 'I think being close with your siblings is honestly a testament to your parents because I know a lot of siblings who don't even speak,' she said.
DeSorbo's Take: A Sister Without Biology
DeSorbo shared that she shares a sister-like bond with her brother's fiancée, describing a moment when she called to check in and found her at their mother's home. 'I was like, "Oh my god, I was just calling to check in on my sister,"' DeSorbo recalled. Khloe responded warmly, telling her, 'That is your new sister. True can still have that, without the freezer baby.'
What Comes Next
Khloe has not announced any decision regarding the frozen embryo, and her remarks suggest she remains undecided. The conversation nonetheless offered a rare, unscripted window into how she is thinking through one of the more personal dilemmas of her post-split life. With True's wishes now on record and the embryo still in storage, the possibility remains open — on her own timeline.
