Kim Kardashian trying so hard to fuel up romance between Khloe, Tristan

A psychotherapist has advised Kim Kardashian to avoid meddling in sister Khloe's private matters and attempting to get her to reconcile with her ex.

She asserts that Kim is playing with fire as the reality star keeps praising the unfaithful Tristan Thompson online and at basketball games.

Kim has recently established himself as a regular at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.

The 42-year-old reality TV actress hasn't missed a game without being glammed up and seated courtside, either by herself or with friends and family.

Due to her fame, Kim is constantly the centre of attention. However, her outsized public display of support for Lakers star Tristan has drawn criticism.

Throughout the May playoffs, Kim supported her sister Khloe's cheating ex by posting encouraging messages on her Instagram Stories.

In one, on May 6, she wrote: "YESSSSS GOOOOO LAKERS," and tagged her sister's disloyal ex-partner. She posted again three days later.

Fans reacted on platforms like Reddit. "I just can’t believe how this man literally trashed and disrespected Khloe and Kim continually shows her support for whatever this relationship is, " one wrote.

A second commented: "It confuses me how she can sit there and talk s**t about this man when he hurts her sister, but then goes and supports him later??!!"

The culmination of Kim's blatant display of admiration was on May 12.

The Skims founder and her 10-year-old daughter, North West, held up a cardboard placard to support Thompson.

In an exclusive interview, psychologist Jo Hemmings told The U.S. Sun: "Kim has taken on a directional role in her younger sister’s personal life. It has gone into overdrive. Kim sees the possibility of her sister and Tristan getting back together. She has been making a pretty public statement of encouraging her and trying to move it along."

The psychologist added: "Kim can’t stop now and appears to have this master plan because she thinks Tristan and Khloe should be back together. She probably doesn’t want Khloe to waste time or the opportunity. Kim clearly wants them to kiss and make up, but she really needs to be cautious about interfering."

"This might be a lengthier process than she might like. Kim is in danger of pushing Khloe too hard to get back with Tristan – or at least forgive him."
