Khloe Kardashian appeared on Instagram on Thursday morning to address ‘co-parenting’ her niece Dream Kardashian.
The 39-year-old Hulu personality – who clapped back at critics on Thursday’s episode of The Kardashians – used the platform to share two statements about helping raise her brother Rob Kardashian’s six-year-old daughter.
The 36-year-old reclusive star shares Dream with ex-girlfriend Blac Chyna.
It comes after the latest episode of the docuseries saw Khloe help Rob throw Dream – the only offspring of the Kardashian clan to inherit their famous last name – a 6th birthday party.
On the show she said she was the ‘third parent’ to Dream and added she had no contact with Blac Chyna.
‘I do not have a relationship with Dream’s mom. It’s hard to have a relationship with someone when they sue you for hundreds of millions of dollars,’ Khloe said in a confessional interview.
‘We are ALL trying to do our best in life,’ she said in back-to-back Instagram Stories later on Thursday.

The entrepreneur addressed Rob and Blac Chyna individually, calling the model by her real name, as she said, ‘Rob is doing the best he can as a parent and in life. Angela is doing the best she can as a parent and in life.’
She said the same for herself and then declared, ‘Our children are healthy and happy! Most of all they are LOVED!! LOVED by everyone in our tribe.’
About the past feud between the Kardashians and the media personality, she said ‘there really is nothing there anymore.’
Khloe then said, ‘The focus is on Dream and her happiness and making sure she feels unconditional love at her mommy’s house, her daddy’s house, and any family member’s house for that matter.’
On The Kardashians Khloe admitted to feeling like a ‘third wheel’ to Rob and Chyna before Scott Disick replied, ‘You’re the wheel that makes the car move.’
In addition to True, Khloe is also raising son Tatum Thompson, 11 months, with ex-beau Tristan Thompson.

‘Dream is one of my babies, too, just like all the rest of them,’ the proud aunt gushed in an interview snippet on the show.
‘I absolutely love being a mom to people,’ she said in the confessional. ‘I love mothering people. It’s so in my blood just to be a mom. I wouldn’t have it any other way.’
In addition to Dream, Khloe is also aunt to Mason Disick, 13, Penelope Disick, 11, Reign Disick, 8, North West, 10, Saint West, 7, Chicago West, 5, Psalm West, 4, Stormi Webster, 5, and Aire Webster, 1.
Rob and Chyna welcomed Dream in 2016 before going their separate ways in 2017.
That year Chyna – born Angela White – took Khloe, Rob, Kris Jenner, Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardashian to court for defamation, in hopes of winning upwards of $100 million.
The five reality TV stars emerged triumphant in 2022 when a jury found them innocent following a two-week trial.
Despite the litigation, Chyna told The Sun that there’s never been any ill-will toward the family on her part.
