Further complicating matters, the paternity scandal made headlines around one month after Thompson and Kardashian had conceived their second child via surrogate, a son, whom they welcomed in early August. They also share 4-year-old daughter, True.

"Khloé is on cloud nine. Getting a sibling for True has been such a journey," an insider close to the ex couple shared at the time. "She is very excited to be a mom again. She really wanted a baby boy."

"Khloé hasn't shared a name yet," the insider added. "She is taking her time with the name. She wants it to be just right."

This marks the fourth time Thompson has become a father. He also shares shares 5-year-old son Prince with ex Jordan Craig.
