If you’re looking for something to tell your friends about at dinner tonight, may I suggest the topic of Tristan Thompson’s sperm? No? Well my brain is now full of fun facts about the basketball player’s swimmers, thanks to Thursday’s episode of the Khloé in Wonder Land podcast. While on the topic of family, Thompson told his ex and show host Khloé Kardashian that he loves “the fact that everyone’s reproducing and putting more babies on this earth.” After Kardashian quipped that “reproducing is crazy,” Thompson lit up and asked, “Should we have another one?” (The former couple already share 8-year-old True and 2-year-old Tatum.) She quickly shut him down with a curt “no.” But here comes the fun part: Thompson and Kardashian then shared that he got a vasectomy but still has some embryos in the bank, which he apparently signed over to her. Yes, that means what you think it means: Khloé legally owns her ex’s sperm.
Tristan Thompson doesn’t want more kids unless they’re from Khloé’s embryos.

Thompson, who has fathered four children with three different women including Kardashian (at least one of them during their relationship), explained that he is otherwise done collecting baby mamas: “I already have enough baby moms. Don’t want no more.” Kardashian then revealed that she’d given him a “little ultimatum” in the form of a vasectomy. “What? Getting neutered?” he asked. “Sometimes you gotta lay them nuts on the table.” Perfect, thank you for that visual.
Later in the conversation, Thompson confirmed he does not plan to have any more babies unless they’re “coming from Khloé’s embryos.” That’s encouraging. Anyway, Kardashian reminded her ex that she is saving some of his sperm, in case he gets married and wants to have kids with his future hypothetical wife. Besides, she added, he could always reverse the procedure. But Thompson did not like that idea: “No, I’m not laying down on that table again.” In the off chance that he does, maybe he could just refrain from telling us about it?
