Kim Kardashian also posted a heartfelt tribute on the grid honoring her little sister. "Welcome to the fucking 40 club baby!!!!! @khloekardashian," Kim captioned the post. "I feel like you have been waiting for years to finally be done with your 30's and the time has now come."
"I know this will be the best decade of your life filled with so much love and happiness! I'm so excited for you to experience this because I know how good it is, and no one deserves this more than you!
"What a crazy life we live! I couldn't do it without you by my side! Thanks for being the best friend and sister a girl could ever dream of ♾️🤍 Happy Birthday."
But, when her ex Tristan went hard on his stories with several posts, people had some thoughts based on his complicated history with Khloé.
Tristan and Khloé dated on and off for around six years until they officially broke up in 2021 after it was revealed that Tristan had fathered a son with Maralee Nichols.
"Happy birthday, Khloé," Tristan began the June 27 Instagram stories over a picture of him, Khloé, and their two children.
He followed up with another photo of Khloé and True, writing, "You are the best mom."
The photo that caught everyone's attention, Tristan wrote, "You are my best friend."
Finally, he finished the birthday tribute with the words, "And the most incredible person I've ever met," over a photo of Khloé and his youngest brother, Amari.
Tristan's "best friend" tribute to Khloé caught the attention of the internet, and people were not too keen, considering how their relationship played out over the last few years.
"He ruined her and embarrassed her publicly but got the nerve to say that's his friend. Omg ✊🏾," one Instagram user wrote.
"Imagine being perfect for a man and he still cheats," another user suggested.
This Instagram suggested Tristan was doing too much, writing, "'and my best friend' boyyyy 😂😂😂😂 just say hbd!!"
"It's actually more disrespectful to say all of this after everything he has done. Cause then people rehash it. Just text her happy birthday, send some flowers and move in silence," another user wrote.
"They appreciate you when it's too late 😩"
"Maybe they're just ment [sic] to be friends," someone else wrote.
And finally, this person remained positive, speaking in support of Khloé's feelings, writing, "She is the definition of a SOLID Woman she did what was in her heart she can live cause she can forgive she is constantly moving forward cause she's never looking back it takes strength and high sense of self worth @khloekardshian is just SOLID period and that what I love and respect about her❤️."
Regardless of how the public might feel about Khloé's relationship with her children's father, the Good American founder stays upbeat and grateful.
"Deeply Grateful For Every Moment," Khloé wrote on her 40th birthday post, joined by her loved ones. "I love you! I am so excited and thankful for this fresh decade and all it has in store!!!"
It looks like nobody is raining on Khloé's parade!
