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.
