Khloé Kardashian hasn’t closed the door on having another baby.
The reality star explained to “Khloé in Wonderland” podcast listeners Wednesday that she has been “contemplating” welcoming a third child “on [her] own.”
The Good American co-creator, 41, has “a few more embryos in the freezer,” presumably made with ex Tristan Thompson, with whom she shares daughter True, 7, and son Tatum, 3.
“I don’t think I have the energy for another baby, but I do think girls need sisters,” she noted. “It’s how I was raised.
“Like, Tatum is going to be fine,” the “Kardashians” star quipped of her son. “But a girl needs her sister. Maybe because that was my experience [with Kourtney Kardashian, Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner].”
She hedged, “I don’t know if I emotionally can handle this. It’s just been a thought. I’ve just been thinking about it.”
The Hulu personality, who joked that True “knows she has a sister in the freezer,” added that she would like to have a “different experience.”
Khloé, notably, found out about Thompson’s infidelity days before giving birth to True — and the on-again, off-again couple’s surrogate was pregnant with Tatum when the NBA player, 34, admitted to fathering a baby, son Theo, with a woman named Maralee Nichols.
“I would be along for that journey [this time] as opposed to all the trauma that surrounded Tatum’s surrogate experience,” the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” alum explained.
She concluded, “When you put an embryo in, there’s no guarantee it will take. So I was also thinking I could try that and if it doesn’t work, that means God didn’t want me to have another baby. And that’s fine.”
Khloé, however, told podcast listeners last month that she’d want to be “married to have more kids.”
The “Dash Dolls” alum noted in February that while she wants True to have sisters, the little one is “close to” her cousins in a similar way.
Elsewhere on Wednesday’s episode, Khloé detailed the “hardest part” of co-parenting True and Tatum with Thompson.
“I think [our kids] are mine,” she said. “I’m like, ‘I have to run this by someone else and get permission?’ Obviously, that’s the right thing to do and of course, my kids have a dad, but I’m the mom. I would never do anything to hurt my kids. … Tristan is great with trusting me, but it’s still a struggle sometimes.”
The businesswoman also spilled on her struggle to name Tatum for nine months postpartum — and the “crazy” “Game of Thrones”-inspired moniker Thompson wanted to give their daughter.
“Tristan wanted to name her Khaleesi, and I just knew we weren’t naming her Khaleesi,” Khloé recalled. “It wasn’t gonna happen.”
