When it comes to her true calling, Khloe Kardashian says she “genuinely feels like I was made to be a mom. This is what makes me happy, and this is where my heart wants to be.”

But when it comes to her relationship with her children’s father, she wishes it could be a better example for her kids.

Despite their rocky relationship, Kardashian and NBA player Tristan Thompson share two children together, their daughter, True Thompson, 6, and their son, Tatum Thompson, 2.

During the Thursday, March 6 episode of “The Kardashians,” Kardashian revealed that True believes Kardashian and Tristan, 33, are married.

“True thinks that me and Tristan are married,” Kardashian said during a confessional.

“The only thing that bothers me about that would be, I don’t want True going through life thinking, this is what a marriage is,” the 40-year-old mom said.

Kardashian explained that she doesn’t want True to think marriage means your partner doesn’t “live with you, then you never have to kiss them, or you don’t sleep in the same bed together.”

“I would love my kids to see me have a husband one day,” Kardashian admitted. “I would love them to see love and affection and romance. And I do want them to have that.”

The reality star and business owner says she’ll be more open with True about her relationship with Thompson when True is older.

“But right now, I believe you do things for your kids, because kids should not be involved in adult problems,” Kardashian explained.

“It’s just probably better for her,” Kardashian’s best friend Malika Haqq reassured her. “It’s not like she would really understand that it’s OK.”

“It is the right thing to do, in my opinion, get married, have kids,” Kardashian continued. “That’s what I want to teach her.”

Kardashian is described as being a “really incredible” mom. “She’s the best mom, loving and nurturing and supportive and caring. If you have Khloe for your auntie, you’re probably the luckiest little kid in the universe,” her mom, Kris Jenner, said.

Kardashian noted that True was “very upset” when she learned her mom didn’t go to college.

“If we had gone to college, we would be married,” Kardashian and Haqq agreed. “We probably missed a very ample opportunity.”
