As I delve into the life of Tristan Thompson, a man who seems to have it all – fame, fortune, and two beautiful children – I can’t help but feel a pang of envy tinged with admiration. Here is a man who has managed to navigate the treacherous waters of professional sports, fatherhood, and relationships with an air of grace that belies his youthful exuberance.

Tristan Thompson is offering fans a rare look at his life as a dad.

In this Instagram post on December 18th, the center for the Cleveland Cavaliers shared images of himself with three out of his four children: Prince Thompson (8 years old, whom he shares with Jordan Craig), and two children he has with his ex-Khloe Kardashian – True Thompson (6 years old) and Tatum Thompson (2 years old). He accompanied the photos with a simple red heart emoji.

Tristan is additionally a parent to Theo, aged 3, whom he had together with his former partner Maralee Nichols. However, Theo rarely appears in Tristan’s social media posts, while he often shares pictures featuring his other children, Jordan and Khloe, on occasion.

In 2021, during her pregnancy with Theo, fitness model Maralee took legal action claiming paternity against an NBA player. At that time, Tristan and Khloe were planning to welcome baby Tatum via a surrogate. However, a cheating scandal unfortunately resulted in the termination of their romantic bond.

Earlier this month, the Good American founder shared she is not looking to begin a new romance.

In a recent interview with Bustle published on December 3, Khloe expressed that she has been enjoying her single status for approximately three years now and truly cherishes it. However, she clarified that she is not actively dating but simply enjoying the freedom of being unattached. She emphasized her newfound sense of power and strength in this independence.

Dating today, the 40-year-old said, is “very scary” for her.

Khloe expressed that she had always been quite self-assured, but after dealing with some challenging issues within her relationships, many of which affected her self-worth, she found herself becoming increasingly critical towards herself. She admitted, “I can’t pinpoint exactly where it originated from.” In 2016, she officially ended her marriage to Lamar Odom.

Tristan acknowledged his mistake regarding the infidelity incident, a situation that wasn’t new during their relationship, by expressing his apologies openly.

On the October 2023 episode of The Kardashians, he expressed, “What consistently remains in my mind is this: I deeply care for you, I deeply love you. You’re more than just a friend to me; you’re my confidante. It puzzles me, I’ve made so many mistakes, yet here I am asking for your forgiveness. Why have I caused you pain?

Khloe has said she forgives Tristan over his infidelity.

She shared on the show that her encounter with Tristan was far from a trivial matter; instead, it was a significant, deeply traumatic event in her life. Despite this, she is pleased to demonstrate kindness and maturity. She wants her children to see that even after such incidents, their parents can peacefully coexist as coparents.

Back in December 2016, Tristan became a father for the first time. His former partner, Jordan Craig, delivered their son, Prince Oliver Thompson.

In April 2018, Khloe Kardashian welcomed her first child in Cleveland while Tristan was a player for the Cleveland Cavaliers. This birth came just after an alleged infidelity scandal involving Tristan, an NBA star, and approximately one and a half years following their public debut as a couple.

For the coming years, I’ll be navigating through a rollercoaster of emotions alongside Khloe and Tristan, as we journey together as parents to our precious daughter, True. The highs and lows of our relationship are bound to unfold, but my unwavering love for them both will remain constant.

In December 2021, it was revealed that Maralee Nichols had filed a lawsuit against Tristan in June over pregnancy and delivery costs stemming from a sexual encounter on his 30th birthday in March of the previous year. According to her court filing, she is carrying a baby boy and claims that Tristan is the child’s father.

Tristan acknowledged in his records that they were involved romantically during the relevant period and asked for a paternity test. Maralee welcomed their son Theo in December, and she declared to TopMob News that she encountered the NBA player in 2020, stating he mentioned being single and sharing parental responsibilities.

In January 2022, Tristan shared on Instagram that “the results of a paternity test confirm that I am the father of a child with Maralee Nichols,” and he also stated, “Khloe, you don’t deserve the pain and embarrassment I have inflicted upon you. You don’t deserve the way I have acted towards you throughout our relationship. My actions do not align with how I see you.

According to Tristan’s statement, he expressed enthusiasm about co-parenting amicably with Maralee. However, in February 2022, it was reported that Tristan has yet to make an effort to meet their son, as confirmed by Maralee’s representative to TopMob News. So far, Tristan has not responded to these claims.

In December 2022, various sources announced a child support agreement between the basketball player and Maralee. According to this arrangement, the player is to pay $9,500 monthly in child support, with Maralee being granted full custody of their son, Theo.

In August 2022, Tristan and Khloe Kardashian welcomed their second child together, a son.

According to a reliable insider, Good American’s founder had a baby through a surrogate prior to the news breaking out to Khloe and the general public that Tristan was expecting a child with another woman in December 2021.

In May 2023, it was revealed that the exes’ son is named Tatum Thompson.

As a connoisseur of modern living, I’ve noticed that Tristan, the celebrated basketball player, frequently shares snaps of his older children on Instagram. Interestingly, he hasn’t posted a picture of Theo yet. However, in a heartwarming turn of events, he did share photos of Prince and True for the first time back in June 2018.

You deserve all the world has to offer, Koko! True and I adore you, mama. Happy Birthday @khloekardashian.

In April 2020, Tristan penned a heartfelt message: “Happy Birthday to my precious baby True! Daddy adores you more than words can express. It’s hard to believe how quickly time has passed. Forever and always, you will be daddy’s little girl. I love you immensely, Tutu. Enjoy your special day. #DaddysTwin

In December 2019, Tristan penned a heartfelt message on his baby boy Prince’s birthday: “Happy Birthday, my dear little prince! It’s hard to believe you’re already 3. I can still recall the day I held you for the first time and marveled at what an incredible baby you were. Every day, your growth, love, and compassion continue to astound me.
