She didn't attend Caitlyn Jenner's 70th birthday dinner at Nobu last night, sparking speculation a rift was to blame for her absence.
But as it turns out Khloe Kardashian wasn't able to celebrate with Caitlyn not because of a feud, but because she had been busy all day shooting a commercial, according to TMZ.
Sources told the website Khloe, 35, called Caitlyn, 70, herself to let her know she wouldn't be at the dinner party.
Not only did Khloe personally let Caitlyn know the circumstances ahead of time, but she even sent the birthday girl a bouquet of pink and white roses, reports TMZ.
Caitlyn shared a photo of the bouquet onto her Instagram account, and the snap features the flowers sitting on a table top.
Insiders also nixed reports Caitlyn cancelled on an appearance at the Hard Rock Hotel in Hollywood, Florida because Khloe would be attending.
Instead, Caitlyn's appearance was reportedly cancelled last-minute by Hard Rock themselves because of budget constraints.
Caitlyn celebrated her big day alongside her daughters Kylie and Kendall Jenner, son Brander Jenner, and stepdaughters Kourtney and Kim Kardashian at Nobu.
Kourtney, Kim and Kendall filmed the occasion for Insta Stories - but the footage noticeably did not include Khloeor Brandon's brother Brody Jenner.
Back when she was known as Bruce Jenner, Caitlyn was married to the Kardashian girls' mother Kris, with whom she shares Kylie and Kendall.
In fact, the birthday cake Caitlyn enjoyed Tuesday was frosted with a throwback snap of her as Bruce holding Kylie and Kendall as little girls.
The birthday girl looked the picture of happiness while settling down to her cake, seated between Kylie, 22, and Brandon, 38.
Caitlyn's children Burt Jenner, 41, and Cassandra Marino, 39, by her first wife Chrystie Jenner were also not seen on Kim and Kourtney's Insta Stories.
Khloe and Caitlyn have had an infamously strained relationship since the publication of the latter's memoir, which included an unflattering depiction of Kris.
When the rift initially occurred, all three Kardashian sisters closed ranks around Kris against Caitlyn, but Kim and Kourtney appear to have put the matter aside.
However, an Us Weekly source claimed Caitlyn withdrew from a public engagement at a Seminole casino in Florida last week because Khloe would be there.
Kourtney's 36-year-old ex Scott Disick and his 21-year-old girlfriend Sofia Richie were also scheduled to be at the event, contributing to Caitlyn's decision.
Meanwhile, Brody has confessed he was wounded that Caitlyn avoided his Indonesian wedding to Kaitlynn Carter last year.
'Honestly, it really did hurt and I would have loved to have had her there, but she had better things to do, apparently,' he said on The Hills: New Beginnings.
Brody and Kaitlynn broke up over the summer and she went on to have a fling with Miley Cyrus, who was herself newly separated from Liam Hemsworth.
The plot thickened when further details surfaced indicating that Brody had declined to ever legally marry Kaitlynn, TMZ reported.
In fact, the relationship fell apart specifically because of Brody's refusal to make the marriage legal and have a baby with Kaitlynn, according to the site's sources.
Brody and Brandon are Caitlyn's children by her second ex-wife Linda Thompson, who also went on to have a failed marriage to David Foster.
