Kris Jenner Explains The 'True' Origin Of True Thompson's Name

Her 'fun fact' finally gives us some answers!

Leave it to ultimate momager Kris Jenner to come to the rescue of her kids, and to the family biz! After Khloe Kardashian announced the name of her newborn daughter with Tristan Thompson yesterday (April 18) via Instagram post, the internet quickly came for the new mom’s choice—True Thompson.

If don’t see the irony of the moniker, then you’re obviously not up to date on her baby daddy’s very public cheating scandal with multiple women and the fact he’s already a father to his estranged one-year-old son with his ex who he broke things off with well into her pregnancy to pursue a relationship with the KUWTK star.

Yes, lots of lies have been surrounding the birth of Kris eighth grandchild, so “True” is an interesting way to go. Plus, there’s the fact that True’s last name is her father’s which may be a clue that Khloe has chosen to forgive her baller boo and let bygones be bygones.

While social media let their outrage be known, mama Kris took to the ‘Gram to tell everyone to hush with the origin behind the baby’s name. She says it’s actually a family name, from the Jenner side. “I’m so excited to welcome my precious little granddaughter True!!! FUN FACT... my Grandfather’s name on my Dad’s side was True Otis Houghton....my Dad’s name was Robert True Houghton...so i am so excited Khloe named her daughter True!!!” she wrote.

Are you convinced? Or do you think Kris’ momager skills worked on this PR spin?
