Khloé Kardashian wants to keep ex Tristan Thompson "as involved as possible" when it comes to raising their new baby, a source tells PEOPLE.

The Kardashians star, 38, who is expecting a second baby with Thompson, 31, via surrogate, wants to maintain the co-parenting relationship they already have when it comes to their 4-year-old daughter True, the insider says.

"Just like they do with True, Khloé will co-parent the baby with Tristan," the source says. "Tristan is the dad and Khloé wants him involved as much as possible. He is great with True."

The source also adds that Khloé "doesn't see herself as a single mom."

"She has a great support system with a lot of help. She feels very lucky," says the insider.

A source previously told PEOPLE that despite the pair expecting a sibling for True, "Khloé and Tristan are not back together and have not spoken since December outside of co-parenting matters."

The former couple's surrogate was already pregnant with their baby when the NBA star's cheating scandal surfaced in December, a source told PEOPLE.

Kardashian and Thompson officially ended their romantic relationship in January after discovering the NBA player fathered another child, who was born on Dec. 1, with Maralee Nichols.

At the time of the child's conception, he was still in a relationship with Kardashian. The pair had been in an on-again, off-again relationship since 2016 and welcomed daughter True in 2018. Thompson is also dad to son Prince, 5, with ex Jordan Craig.

The Chicago Bulls player apologized to Kardashian at the time, writing, "Khloé, you don't deserve this. You don't deserve the heartache and humiliation I have caused you. You don't deserve the way I have treated you over the years. My actions certainly have not lined up with the way I view you. I have the utmost respect and love for you. Regardless of what you may think. Again, I am so incredibly sorry."
