Khloe Kardashian holds tense talks with Tristan Thompson in dramatic new teaser for KUWTK

Keeping Up with the Kardashians is set to return this September, and judging by the latest teaser trailer, reality TV’s first family are serving up more drama than ever. 

Khloe Kardashian kicks things off by telling viewers they’re back in action, before she is seen holding a tense conversation with her on/off boyfriend Tristan Thompson, with whom she shares two-year-old daughter True.

It appears as though Khloe, 36, and Tristan, 29, – who are now rumored to be back on and looking to buy a house together – are discussing what went wrong in their relationship, which first broke down after he allegedly cheated on her.

‘Why couldn’t you be that when we were together?’ Khloe asks him, as Tristan nods in agreement, while they appear to be outside at her home holding reunion talks. 

It then transpires that Khloe had a coronavirus scare as she is seen getting tested for COVID-19, before we see footage of her coughing in her bedroom.

Kim Kardashian West, 39, expresses her concern on a family call to Kourtney, 41, saying that Khloe has been ‘so sick.’

‘Everybody in the world is talking about coronavirus,’ Scott Disick says as we see Khloe get a swab test by a doctor. 

The drama really starts to escalate when the cameras show footage of Kim’s trip to Paris, France, just as lockdown started to get enforced earlier this year.

‘We have to get out,’ Kim says in a confessional, after dramatic scenes show her making a dash for the airport and is heard saying ‘we have to leave Kourtney!’ 

Cause for concern: Kim is worried that Khloe may have COVID-19 and details her own panic when she thought she was stuck in Paris amid lockdown

Kim and Kourtney had been seen at Paris Fashion Week in March as quarantining began, meaning the family were eager to jet back to the US with their children in tow.

Elsewhere in the trip, Scott, 37, also discusses his recent issues, presumably referring to his stint in rehab and the breakdown of his relationship with Sofia Richie, 19. 

‘There couldn’t have been a bigger betrayal,’ Scott is heard saying, as he holds a family summit on a Zoom call.
