"My ex Tristan is an incredible father, and I don't want this to be a bashing thing...He did make mistakes, but Dr. A knows, he's the nicest guy. And we get along so well now," Kardashian expressed of her and Thompson, who also share a daughter, True, 6.

While the Good American co-founder is aware the pair isn't "meant to be together," she's certain "he was meant to be the father of these kids."

"So I'm very lucky for that, and I just want to move forward with our relationship as co-parents and how great of a dad he is," she continued. "And I do think that I obviously needed to learn a lesson somewhere, and that's why that happened for me for some reason."

"I was meant to have both of these little angels in my life," Khloé declared.

While co-parenting with Tristan seems to be going well, Khloé has yet to find a new man to fulfill the romantic aspects of her life — though she doesn't have much interest in searching for a potential suitor, as she's mainly focused on being a mom.

"I am not looking," the Kardashians star confirmed elsewhere in the podcast episode. "I haven't been going on dates. I don't do dating apps. No judgment. It's just not my thing."

"With my experience with the Tatum part of just how all of that happened, I needed a lot of time to heal and to do my own internal work and I'm not lonely. I'm not any of those things. I am so happy, but I finally just recently have felt that there's a turn in my personality," she explained.

Khloé admitted, "And if it's the right guy ... but I'm not going on a ton of blind dates or I haven't been on one date. I haven't done any of that, but I've needed the time for me....And because I'm not, I don't want to distract myself with a man or going out with my girlfriends, going to clubs. It's a different time. Things that really got me down because that was one of the hardest times of my life and I love that I'm finally feeling like it's turning around for me, just personally and emotionally."

"So I will be ready to date," she confessed. "I just don't know if right now it is. I might wait until I actually am in my 40s."
