On April 9, 2023, Thompson signed with the Los Angeles Lakers.
Thompson has three children with three different women.
In December 2021, it was reported that a woman had filed a paternity lawsuit against Thompson in Los Angeles in June 2021, as a result of an affair he had while dating Khloé Kardashian. Thompson confirmed the following month that he was the father of the woman’s son and issued an apology to Kardashian.
In July 2022, it was confirmed that Thompson and Kardashian were expecting their second child together, via surrogacy. Their son was born on July 28, 2022. Tristan Thompson and Khloé Kardashian have confirmed that they are expecting another child together.
The couple are currently separated, having split in December 2021 when it was revealed that Thompson had fathered a child during his relationship with the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star. Before the split, Kardashian and Thompson had implemented plans to welcome another child together via surrogate.
The new arrival will not only have plenty of famous cousins like North West to welcome it to the world but also some siblings that it will share with dad Thompson.
Prince Thompson
Thompson’s eldest child is his son Prince, who he shares with his ex, Jordan Craig. The couple started dating in 2014 but split in 2016 shortly after Craig discovered she was pregnant.
True Thompson
Thompson and Kardashian welcomed True, now 5, on April 12, 2018, just days after it was reported that he had been unfaithful to her. Reports with photos and videos emerged of Tristan supposedly cheating were made public, and Kim Kardashian was later seen responding to the drama on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, saying: “There’s video of Tristan making out with a girl last night.”
Khloé Kardashian has spoken about the incident on both Keeping Up With the Kardashians and new Hulu show The Kardashians. More recently, in an interview with Good Morning America, she revealed how she manages to stay friendly and co-parent with her ex.
“With Tristan, I did feel incredibly safe in the beginning, and I felt really good for a time. I remember when he cheated on me right before I gave birth and I was able to still have him in the delivery room,” she explained. “So yes, it might have looked strange to the outside world, but when my daughter watches my home videos, those videos are going to be as pure and perfect as I was able to make them.”
In the same interview, the reality TV star admitted they’re over for good saying: “I still think he’s a great guy, and he’s a great dad. He’s just not the guy for me.”
Theo
Model Maralee Nichols gave birth to a son, reportedly named Theo, on December 1, 2021.
Thompson and Nichols are thought to have conceived the baby over Thompson’s 30th birthday celebrations in March 2021, around the same time Kardashian threw him a birthday party. Kardashian and Thompson were in a relationship at the time but split after news of the baby broke.
The exact moment the Kardashian family found out about Thompson’s infidelity played out on The Kardashians when Kim Kardashian read about the baby online. After phoning her sister, it transpired that Khloé had not been told about the child despite Thompson being confirmed as the father via a paternity test. The NBA star had, unbeknownst to Khloé, initially denied being the father before a paternity lawsuit was filed against him by Nichols in June 2021.
Thompson then shared the news himself on Instagram Stories, publicly apologizing for “humiliating” Khloé.
“I take full responsibility for my actions,” Thompson said in the statement. “Now that paternity has been established I look forward to amicably raising our son. I sincerely apologize to everyone I’ve hurt or disappointed throughout this ordeal both publicly and privately.”
Thompson then went on to directly apologize to Kardashian, saying: “Khloé, you don’t deserve this. You don’t deserve the heartache and humiliation I 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.”
