Khloe Kardashian

American reality TV star Khloe Kardashian, who is pregnant with her first child with NBAâu00c2u0080u00c2u0088star Tristan Thompson (below), said she's been experiencing severe morning sickness in her first trimester. "I think once people know you're pregnant, you get all the excuses. Hopefully, I look pregnant, not just fat. It's hard for me to breathe right now, but other than that, I'm good," said Khloe, during an appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres TV show yesterday. Khloe, 33, wore a tight white dress (right) for her first chat show appearance since announcing her pregnancy, and host Ellen, 59, was quick to add that this wasn't maternity wear. To this, Khloe, replied, "I'm trying not to wear maternity clothes for as long as possible."

When the host asked if she knew the sex of the baby, Khloe said, "not yet." And about her marriage plans, Khloe said: "I'm not in a rush for any of that. As you know, I have rushed quite a few things before." Khloe was previously married to another NBA ace, Lamar Odom, before his drugs and drinking problems ended it.
