Khloé Kardashian reveals Tristan Thompson secretly proposed to her before his paternity scandal, but she turned him down because she wouldn't have felt 'proud' to be engaged to him

• Khloé Kardashian said Tristan Thompson secretly proposed to her in December 2020.
• The proposal happened before the NBA free agent's paternity scandal.
• Khloé turned him down because she said she wouldn't have felt "proud" to be engaged to him. 

Khloé Kardashian revealed on Thursday's episode of "The Kardashians" that she rejected a secret proposal from Tristan Thompson because she didn't feel "proud" to be engaged to him.

In the new episode of Hulu's "The Kardashians," Kim Kardashian made it public that Khloé didn't tell anyone about the secret proposal by the NBA free agent. 

"The fact that [Tristan] proposed and you never told us, and I asked him months later," Kim told her younger sister.

The proposal, which seems to have happened in December 2020, didn't excite Khloé.

"I need to make sure this is a totally different relationship because I want to be proud to say I'm engaged to anyone," Khloé said during a confessional about the proposal. "And that's why I said I'm not comfortable accepting this right now because I'm not excited to tell my family."

The secret proposal happened before Thompson's parenting scandal was revealed in December 2021.

Thompson admitted to cheating on Khloé, his girlfriend at the time, with whom he had just conceived a child.
