Tristan explained: "For me personally, when I cheat, I feel disgusted the next day. This prompted Kourtney to ask how he could continue to do it if it made him feel so guilty.

"I was just cheating for an action, I was cheating just for a feeling," Tristan said. He added: "But also it really came down to not really knowing how to love because that's the way I grew up.

"I think with therapy, I realised that my childhood upbringing, what I saw from like my dad and how he treated my mom, as a kid, when you see that, the trauma you have is... Because you can't protect your mom because you're so young and because your mom tells you it's going to be okay, you basically numb your emotions."
