Keeping everyone on their toes. The Kardashian-Jenner family had a very memorable 2022 — which was filled with babies, breakups and more explosive moments.
The year started out with a bang when Kanye West called out Kim Kardashian for allowing their eldest child to make her own TikTok account. (The former couple share North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.)
“SINCE THIS IS MY FIRST DIVORCE I NEED TO KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO ABOUT MY DAUGHTER BEING PUT ON TIK TOK AGAINST MY WILL ?” West wrote via Instagram in February.
In response, the reality star called out the Yeezy designer for his “constant attacks” in a rare public statement amid their divorce.
“As the parent who is the main provider and caregiver for our children, I am doing my best to protect our daughter while also allowing her to express her creativity in the medium that she wishes with adult supervision — because it brings her happiness,” she explained in her own Instagram post at the time. “Divorce is difficult enough on our children and Kanye’s obsession with trying to control and manipulate our situation so negatively and publicly is only causing further pain for all.”
She continued: “I wish to handle all matters regarding our children privately and hopefully he can finally respond to the third attorney he has had in the last year to resolve any issues amicably.”
That same month, the California native reflected on the challenges of trying to take care of her children after her messy split from the Grammy winner. “You could be so hurt or angry at your ex, but I think in front of the kids, it always has to be ‘Your dad’s the best,’” she told Vogue. “Make sure you are your coparent’s biggest cheerleader, no matter what you’re personally going through.”
West continued to make headlines for his social media posts — toward the Kardashian family and other A-listers — before his divorce with the KKW Beauty founder was settled later that year.
Meanwhile, Khloé Kardashian shocked her fans when news broke that she was expecting a second child with Tristan Thompson.
“We can confirm True will have a sibling who was conceived in November [2021],” a rep for the Good American cofounder told Us Weekly in a July statement. “Khloe 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.”
A source clarified, however, that the news didn’t mean Khloe and Thompson rekindled their on-and-off romance. “Khloé and Tristan are coparenting, but not speaking [outside] of coparenting, that is the only communication they have anymore,” an insider exclusively told Us at the time, noting that the baby was conceived ahead of Thompson’s paternity scandal with Maralee Nichols which resulted in son Theo’s birth in December 2021. “Tristan has realized that he’s a parental figure to True and the new baby [and] that’s all he is to Khloé right now.”
That same month, the Strong Looks Better Naked author welcomed a son via surrogate. Her growing family was explored during The Kardashians‘ season 2 premiere.
“Every single day, I’ve been feeling depressed and sad, and now that my son is here, I get to move on, and I get to enjoy. It’s almost like I get to close that chapter and be done with this trauma and put it behind me,” Khloé said in a September episode. “Now I finally get to start the healing process. Now I get to start enjoying my life with two kids in it and figuring this out. This is gonna be day one, and this is gonna be the start of something positive, and happy and beautiful.”
