Tristan Thompson has revealed he underwent a vasectomy after Khloé Kardashian gave him an ultimatum
Kardashian said she ensured Thompson saved sperm in case he wants children with a future partner despite his vasectomy, but she legally owns the rights to their remaining embryos
"I already have enough baby moms. Don't want no more," Thompson told Kardashian on her Khloé in Wonder Land podcast
Khloé Kardashian convinced her ex Tristan Thompson to get a vasectomy.
The 41-year-old reality star invited her NBA star ex, 35, onto her Khloé in Wonder Land podcast on Thursday, May 28, where the former couple revealed that Thompson went under the knife at Kardashian's request.
“Do you wanna have more kids in the future?” the Good American co-founder asked Thompson.
“I think I signed off for two embryos,” Thompson said. “So, I mean, if I do have more kids, it'd be coming from you. I already have enough baby moms. Don't want no more.”
In addition to sharing daughter True, 8, and son Tatum, 2, with Kardashian, Thompson is also the father of son Prince, 9, with his ex Jordan Craig and son Theo, 4, with Maralee Nichols.
“And who helped you fix that decision? That was me,” Kardashian said of Thompson's vasectomy, adding, “Tristan may have had a little ultimatum from me.”

“What? Getting neutered?” Thompson asked. “Sometimes you gotta lay them nuts on the table.”
Thompson implied that he was initially against the idea, admitting, “I've been a little hardheaded at times … I wish I wasn't as stubborn.”
However, Thompson appeared to have come around to the idea, saying, “Sometimes you have to get forced into the right decision.”

And while he's had the vasectomy, more kids aren't off the table for Thompson. During the podcast interview, he revealed that he legally signed over the rights to his embryos with Kardashian.
“You signed them over to me anyway, so I legally own them,” Kardashian confirmed during the episode.

But Kardashian said that she also ensured another option for her ex and a future partner.
“We saved sperm because I said, ‘What if you get married and your wife doesn't have kids, and you wanna do that?' ” Kardashian explained. “So we did that. Because you could also reverse it.”
But Thompson insisted, “No. I'm not, no. I'm not laying down on that table again.”
Kardashian and Thompson split for good in 2021. In early December 2021, news broke that he had another baby on the way and that Texas personal trainer Nichols was due to welcome his child before the new year. A source told PEOPLE at the time that Kardashian and Thompson were dating when Nichols said the child was conceived.
On July 13, 2022, a rep for Kardashian told PEOPLE that she and Thompson were expecting another child together via surrogate.

"Khloé is incredibly grateful to the extraordinary surrogate for such a beautiful blessing. We'd like to ask for kindness and privacy so that Khloé can focus on her family," they said at the time.
Son Tatum was born just weeks later on July 28, 2022.
Thompson publicly and privately apologized to Kardashian for the betrayal, and the former pair have worked hard to maintain an amicable co-parenting relationship for the sake of their children.
