Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson are reportedly expecting a baby boy via surrogate, it has been claimed.
Kardashians star Khloe, 38, confirmed she and basketball player Tristan, 31, were expecting a second child on Wednesday evening. The pair are already parents to four-year-old True.
Khloe and Tristan's second child is understood to have been conceived before Khloe discovered her now-ex had been unfaithful and fathered a child with another woman, Maralee Nichols.
A source told us: "The baby was conceived via surrogate before it was revealed to Khloe and the public that Tristan was having a baby with someone else in December."
Now, sources have claimed the pair's second child is a boy.
An insider told Page Six: "Khloé has always wanted a little brother for True and decided to go ahead with having the baby with the support of her family."
Mirror Online have contacted Khloe and Tristan's representatives for comment.
It comes after a spokesperson for Khloe confirmed to the Mirror that the pair, who haven't spoken about anything other than parenting matters since December, are set to welcome another child.
A spokesperson told us: "We can confirm True will have a sibling who was conceived in November.
"Khloe is incredibly grateful to the extraordinary surrogate for such a beautiful blessing. We’d like to ask for kindness and privacy so that Khloe can focus on her family."
Khloe is yet to address the news on her social media and has not posted since the news was confirmed on Wednesday night.
Meanwhile, basketball player Tristan has posted on his socials, sharing a photo of himself posing on a set of grand stairs on his Instagram page.
It wasn't the image that captured the attention of fans, though, as some suggested he had thrown shade at his ex Khloe in the caption.
He wrote a though-provoking message, which read: "You can't fall if you don't climb. No happiness in living your life on the ground. Keep climbing, step by step."
And many fans took umbrage with the cryptic quote accusing the basketball player of disrespecting Khloe.
One said: "Can’t climb back to [Khloe] though."
While another quipped: "As long as those are not Koko's stairs, climb all you want."
Ahead of the announcement, Khloe shared a cryptic post as she shared a photo of herself on her birthday trip to Turks and Caicos.
The photo, which Khloe shared on Instagram, showed the star with her back to the camera while stood in the crystal clear sea.
She's wearing a silver swimsuit and holding the back of her head as if she has swept her blond locks away from her face.
In the caption, Khloe said: "There’s no point in looking back".
Khloe and Tristan had been on and off since 2016, with Tristan being caught cheating on Khloe on a number of occasions.
The Kardashian beauty decided to forgive Tristan when he was caught cosying up to a woman shortly before she gave birth to True, but she later split from him when he allegedly kissed Kylie Jenner's best pal Jordyn Woods.
The pair appeared to be making amends last year, which was documented in the Kardashian's new Hulu series, but the final episode saw the couple's downfall as it was revealed Tristan was having a baby with another woman. They have since split for good.
