For Khloe Kardashian, having her ex Tristan Thompson get a vasectomy was a clear-cut decision.After the retired NBA player admitted he had "enough baby mamas" (that total coming in at three), The Kardashians star revealed how she came up with a solution in a snap—or rather snip."Who helped you fix that decision? That was me," Khloe—who shares daughter True, 8, and son Tatum, 3, with Tristan—said on the May 28 episode of her podcast Khloe in Wonder Land. "Tristan may have had a little ultimatum from me."And when it came to "getting neutered," as the athlete put it, "sometimes you gotta lay them nuts on the table." However, Tristan—also dad to son Prince, 9, with Jordan Craig as well as son Theo, 4, with Maralee Nichols—suggested the vasectomy wasn’t that bad."It was 15 minutes," he added. "It’s quick."Still, Tristan indicated he wouldn’t be interested in a reversal, as he added, "I’m not laying down on that table again."

But if Tristan ever does change his mind, he has options. "We saved sperm," Khloe noted, "because I said, 'What if you get married and your wife doesn’t have kids and you want to do that?'"And while Khloe has frozen embryos with Tristan, she reminded him, "You signed them over to me anyway, so I legally own them."

Despite the cheating scandals Tristan put Khloe through before their 2021 split, the two have managed to find a good co-parenting rhythm."We are friends first and foremost and we have two beautiful children together," he said. "It’s healthy for people to see two parents that aren’t romantically involved still have a positive dynamic and are in a good place."Tristan isn’t the only celebrity who's spoken openly about getting a vasectomy. To see more stars like Kane Brown and Dax Shepard who've shared their experiences with the procedure, keep reading.

Dax Shepard has fully embraced parenthood. But when his wife Kristen Bell thought she was pregnant after welcoming daughters Lincoln and Delta, the Armchair Expert host admittedly "freaked out" and got a vasectomy days later.“Kristen was not thrilled I did it so quickly," Dax said on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in 2016, "but I’m a man of action."

Any concerns Hilary Duff's husband Matthew Koma had about a vasectomy are so yesterday.Because after announcing they were expecting daughter Townes in 2024, he documented his trip to the doctor's office to get the procedure—noting it’s better than going to the “dentist for sure.”

While Brian Austin Green has played many parts, he wasn’t ready to take on the role of father of six. So, two months after his fiancĂ©e Sharna Burgess gave birth to their son Zane in 2023, the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum had a vasectomy."Zayn was born," Brian—who also shares son Kassius with ex Vanessa Marcil as well as kids Noah, Bodhi and Journey with ex Megan Fox—recalled on his podcast Oldish in 2024.,"I was like, 'I think it’s time to close the shop.'"

Khloe Kardashian cut to the chase about how she felt about ex Tristan Thompson getting a vasectomy. As the reality star put it on a May 2025 episode of her podcast Khloe in Wonder Land, "Tristan may have had a little ultimatum from me."While the former NBA player—who welcomed daughter True and son Tatum with Khloe before their on-again, off-again relationship ended in 2021—acknowledged the procedure was quick, he noted he wouldn't want a reversal.As the dad of four said, “I’m not laying down on that table again.”

After saying hello to the procedure, Ashton Kutcher took a THC mint at friend’s wedding in Italy and, as he put it to Esquire, "that s--t did not go well," explaining that after the high hit he was convinced he lost feeling below his waist.

Kane Brown doesn’t have any more what ifs about getting a vasectomy.Because after he welcomed son Krewe with wife Katelyn Brown in 2024, the country singer—who is also dad to their daughters Kingsley and Kodi—had the procedure."I’m just sky high," Kane recalled on The Bobby Bones Show of how doctors and nurses gave him gas. "They’re just having their conversation about their day and all this stuff, and then you’re just on the table spread-eagle. It was wild."

"That vasectomy was the biggest mistake I ever made," the Dr. Phil show host told Newsweek in 2011 about the procedure he had while wife Robin McGraw was pregnant with their son Jay McGraw. "I was 29."So, he had the procedure reversed, and the couple went on to welcome son Jordan McGraw. 

In March 2024, the former football player—whose family roster includes wife Jessie James Decker, daughter Vivianne as well as sons Eric "Bubby" Jr., Forrest and Denver —posted a photo of himself drinking a cocktail, resting with an ice pack and wearing a shirt that stated, "Vasectomy survivor. I kid you not."

The former Bachelor shared in 2022 that he had a vasectomy—then underwent a reversal in 2024. Months later, Arie and Lauren Burnham announced they were expecting baby no. 4, with daughter Livvy arriving in 2025. By the end of that year, Arie posted a video of himself calling to schedule another vasectomy. "Making THAT call for the third time
" he wrote on Instagram. "Need a punch card."

"We can't have more kids," Jon said on The Wendy Williams Show in 2014. "Yeah, I'm fixed and Liz is fixed."

Slim Thug was "snipped" after having three sons. "#NoNewKids #NoNewBabymamas #NoMoChildSupport #NoLittleGirl," the rapper tweeted after the surgery, "just me and my 3 Boyz."

Nikki Sixx underwent the procedure following his 2007 divorce from second wife Donna D'Errico. Already a father of four, the Mötley CrĂŒe bassist thought his family was complete. However, he underwent a sperm-retrieval procedure after marrying wife Courtney Sixx in 2014, and the couple welcomed daughter Ruby five years later."They just had to take it out of me—that's no party getting your [testicles] cut open," he joked to USA Today in 2019. "Getting your [testicles] cut open is like being in Mötley CrĂŒe in 1987."
