Khloé Kardashian Recalls ‘Mortifying’ Experience With Giveon During Private Date With Tristan Thompson

Khloé Kardashian is no stranger to uncomfortable experiences. However, a story she recently opened up about with R&B singer Giveon might take the cake.

During an episode of her podcast, Khloé Kardashian got real about an argument she and her ex-boyfriend, NBA star Tristan Thompson, had during a private date where Giveon was hired to perform.

The latest episode of Khloé's "Wonder Land" podcast centered on Valentine's Day. At one point, she answered a question about love, which led her to spill the beans about a "mortifying" experience she had with Thompson, the father of her two children.

Khloé explained that Thompson tried to pull off the sweetest gesture to make up for something he had done that bothered her. "There was one time I was serenaded, and it was I think just like a random day because I wasn’t expecting it," she said.

The "Kardashians" star then shared that Giveon, known for his biggest hits "Heartbreak Anniversary" and his feature on Justin Bieber's "Peaches," arrived and began performing at her home.

While being serenaded by Giveon might've been nice for the reality star and Good American founder, Khloé admitted she couldn't focus much on his award-winning voice because she was so upset with Thompson.

"I remember like I hated Tristan and I was like, ‘Why are you doing this?’ And Giveon is pouring his heart out. And Tristan’s trying to sit next to me and I’m like, slapping him, and poor Giveon is still singing. It was mortifying," she said.

The tension between Khloé and Thompson escalated until the 41-year-old retreated inside her home to get some space from the Cleveland Cavaliers player because she was "so annoyed" by him.

"Giveon was so professional, he was so great, he didn't break his song at all. He's amazing, I love him. But, how awkward for him, poor guy. I love you Giveon," Khloé finished.

Khloé has been through a lot with Thompson. Months before their first child was born, videos of Thompson appearing to be getting close to other women went viral, according to E! News.

In February 2019, Khloé and Thompson split again after rumors that Thompson was unfaithful to Khloé with a Kardashian family friend, Jordyn Woods, surfaced.

Years later, the pair welcomed a second child before navigating many months of an on-and-off relationship. Now, per The Blast, Khloé appears to be keeping things plain and clear between them.

"I think what I find so funny is that people are always like, 'How do you let Tristan back in?' And I'm like, 'Well, Tristan is not back in,'" Khloé said during a podcast episode. He's just the father of my kids, so he's going to be around his kids, and I'm really grateful that he is."

Khloé's history with complicated relationships doesn't end with Thompson. The reality star has also been extremely candid about her previous marriage to two-time NBA champion Lamar Odom, according to The Blast.

Over a decade ago, while Khloé and Odom were separated, she flew to Las Vegas, Nevada, to be by his side after he overdosed at the Love Ranch. Khloé spoke about the frightening experience, saying, "I was there through it all" and "I remember everything."

In January 2026, Odom faced another scary situation when officers arrested and charged him with driving under the influence.

The police report disclosed that, in addition to the DUI charge, Odom faced two additional violations: driving more than 41 MPH over the speed limit and improper lane change/failure to maintain lane.

This is not the first time Odom has been arrested, either. In 2013, the basketball player was charged with DUI after a California law enforcement officer noted they saw his vehicle moving in a "serpentine manner."

Things escalated after Odom reportedly refused to pull over for the officer, who later noted the "Khloé & Lamar" star displayed "objective signs of intoxication and was unable to perform field sobriety tests as explained and demonstrated."
