‘Making a mockery of fertility issues…’ People aren’t too happy with Khloe

She and Lamar were married until 2016.

There is no doubt that Khloe Kardashian has received an incredible outpouring of support following her recent pregnancy announcement.

The 33-year-old reality TV star is around six months’ along – with she and her boyfriend, Tristan Thompson, head-over-heels in love and excited for their impending little arrival.

However, certain fans are now questioning the fertility issues Khloe so publicly experienced while married to Lamar Odom, with some claiming she makes a “mockery” of those truly struggling to get pregnant.

Indeed, following this week’s baby reveal one person tweeted: “Didn’t she lie about fertility issues all bc she didn’t wanna have kids at the time?”

The woman-of-the-hour then chipped into the conversation herself, stating: “I def wasn’t lying.

“I did all my treatments but then when we did further testing we realized I was NOT the one with the issue at the time.”

The couple’s ongoing struggles to get pregnant were heavily documented on Keeping Up With The Kardashians from 2010-2013 (they married in 2009 after a month of dating and didn’t divorce until 2016).

After they split, Khloe admitted that not all was as it seemed and that at time she ‘fake tried’ to have a baby with Lamar (who has two children from a previous marriage).

“I was married,” Khloe explained earlier this year, “but I knew the circumstances weren’t the healthiest, so I just kept pretending I was trying.”

She added that a lot of the fertility treatments they endured as a couple “were more so for Lamar,” continuing: “I had to stop because there was much deeper stuff that was happening in our marriage.”

My greatest dream realized! We are having a baby! I had been waiting and wondering but God had a plan all along. He knew what He was doing. I simply had to trust in Him and be patient. I still at times can’t believe that our love created life! Tristan, thank you for loving me the way that you do! Thank you for treating me like a Queen! Thank you for making me feel beautiful at all stages! Tristan, most of all, Thank you for making me a MOMMY!!! You have made this experience even more magical than I could have envisioned! I will never forget how wonderful you’ve been to me during this time! Thank you for making me so happy my love! Thank you to everyone for the love and positive vibes! I know we’ve been keeping this quiet but we wanted to enjoy this between our family and close friends as long as we could privately. To enjoy our first precious moments just us ❤️ Thank you all for understanding. I am so thankful, excited, nervous, eager, overjoyed and scared all in one! But it’s the best bundle of feelings I’ve ever felt in my life! ❤️❤️❤️

Ms Kardashian furthermore revealed that their relationship “wasn’t the right kind of situation to bring a child into”.

We’re just delighted to see her so happy now and there’s no doubt that Khloe and Tristan’s baba is a very lucky one.
