KHLOE Kardashian secretly guards a deep-rooted love for her cheating ex-partner, a psychologist has exclusively told The U.S. Sun.
Psychologist Jo Hemmings believes Khloe's on-again-off-again relationship with footballer Tristan Thompson may reignite itself soon.
In an exclusive interview, Hemmings told The U.S Sun: “Khloe has unconditional love for Tristan and wants to maintain a close relationship with him.
"They also have two children so supporting him through a difficult time comes naturally to her.
“She'd finally found the one before now and it is clear she still loves him deeply.

"But while she's secretly devoted, Tristan needs to wake up, keep his desires and impetuous behavior in check, and give this another chance.
“Tristan will understand just what he has to lose by not reconciling with Khloe and settling down.”
Late on Thursday, January 5 Khloe Kardashian was pictured stepping off a private jet with Tristan at Toronto airport to support him after his mom Andrea suffered a heart attack.
And while Andrea has since passed with Khloe flying back home, it’s clear that the mom-of-two was by his side to comfort and support Tristen during a time of need.
Tristan was reportedly very close to his mom and in the past described her as: "a warrior and a champ" while going on to praise her for the "love and passion" she had for all her kids.
While Khloe, 38, and Tristan, 31, are no longer together, over the past few years they’ve co-parented their children, four-year-old True and a baby boy who was born last August via a surrogate.
“They both place family high on their list of priorities which is one of the reasons Khloe expressed her genuine support and affection so easily, for Tristan recently, " adds Jo.
“It’s sad that their romantic relationship may have been tainted by Tristan’s seeming inability to stay faithful.
“Khloe has always been the most relatable Kardashian sister so it’s not surprising she’s rushed to help Tristan.
“She expresses herself warmly and freely, has a deeply loyal streak, and is very much a nurturer.

“While she may have loved to have fun once, I think having children has changed her.
She now seems much more fulfilled, as if she has found her purpose, in spite of her difficulties with Tristan.

“She now seems much more fulfilled, as if she has found her purpose, in spite of her difficulties with Tristan.”
Khloe and Tristan first got together in 2016 before going on to enjoy a highly publicized, whirlwind romance.
Back then the leggy KUWTK star mentioned how she shared a love of family with him: “He wants to have, like, five or six kids with me, and that’s lovely,” she said.
But the pair went on to split after the Cleveland Cavaliers player was caught cheating on her when she was pregnant.
After videos of Tristen with other women appeared online, in 2019 news broke that he‘d also spent time with a Kardashian family friend, Jordyn Woods.
Two years of uncertainty followed before the two got back together in the run-up to 2020 and after quarantining during Covid.
"The ones that are meant to be are the ones who go through everything that’s designed to tear them apart and they come out even stronger than they were before," Khloe wrote on Instagram at the time.
Her post also included photos alongside Thompson and True.
By 2021 Khloe was happily sporting what looked like a diamond engagement ring, but she split with Tristan once again when she learned that he’d fathered a second child.
In early 2022 Tristan publicly apologized for humiliating his ex following a positive paternity test result.
At the time Thompson wrote: "Khloe, you don’t deserve the heartache and humiliation my actions have caused you, “before adding: “You don’t deserve the way I have treated you over the years".
“Tristan probably hasn’t always been the best dad, " adds Jo.
"Basketball and a wandering eye have often gotten in the way.
"But when your own mother dies, it’s very common to suddenly take stock of life and to appreciate what really matters.
“I think his family values were one of the things that attracted Khloe to him in the first instance.
'FAMILY VALUES'
“Khloe adores her children and frequently posts the cutest images and loving words.
“She has found a genuine sense of purpose away from the mayhem of her own family.
“She’s naturally nurturing and caring and she will want her children to have the most stable of families as they grow up.
“She won’t want to be a single mom and I think her instincts that Tristan will change and see what she sees is probably right.
“She’s in no way an opportunist in comforting him after his mom’s passing, but she also knows that he'll appreciate her support immensely.
“Khloe’s kindness to Tristan in his time of grief comes naturally to her.
"And while no one forgets a cheating partner, with determination, communication, and love, the trust can grow back between these too.
" For Tristan, his actions and behavior moving forward will speak louder than his words."
