Tristan Thompson is proudly on dad duty in a slate of new family portraits.
Thompson, 33, shared several pics with kids Prince, 8, True, 6, and Tatum, 2, onto his Instagram on Wednesday, December 18. The upload featured a red heart emoji in the caption.
In one pic, Thompson was all smiles as he stood behind Prince and True, who were making a yellow-colored slime. In another image, the three siblings twinned in white while holding hands.
Other uploads featured Prince cuddling his brother while out to lunch, the trio smiling in a parking garage and a professional portrait of the NBA star and his firstborn.
Tristan Thompson couldn’t be prouder of his and ex Khloé Kardashian’s daughter, True, as she starts elementary school. “Twinny first day of 1st grade 🥹🥹,” Thompson, 33, captioned a series of Instagram photos on Tuesday, August 27. The Cleveland Cavaliers player, who calls True, 6, his “twin” because of their striking resemblance, had a photo […]
Thompson shares Prince with ex Jordan Craig, and True and Tatum with Khloé Kardashian. Thompson is also the father of Maralee Nichols’ 3-year-old son, Theo, who was not included in the social media tribute.
Khloé, 40, and her sister Kim Kardashian both “liked” Thompson’s Wednesday post.
Thompson and Khloé dated on and off from 2016 to 2021, splitting for good after news broke that he fathered Theo around the same time that he and the Good American founder were expecting Tatum via surrogate. Now, Thompson and Khloé are focused on amicably coparenting their children.
“He’s the nicest guy and we get along so well now. We’re not meant to be together, but he was meant to be the father of these kids,” Khloé said on a May episode of the “SHE MD” podcast. “We do get along so well, and I’m really grateful for that because my parents [Kris Jenner and Robert Kardashian] got along so well.”
Kris Jenner proved she is Tristan Thompson‘s biggest fan — which comes at an awkward time for the athlete. During a new episode of The Kardashians, which started streaming on Thursday, October 12, Kris, 67, praised her daughter Khloé Kardashian for how she continues to coparent with Tristan, 32. “Khloe and Tristan have definitely worked […]
Thompson has also been invited to the blowout birthday bashes that Khloé has thrown for True and Tatum through the years. In 2022, he even offered to cover the expenses when True celebrated her 4th.
“No, he is not taking care of the whole party. That is nice but I won’t let that happen,” Khloé told her mother on an episode of The Kardashians. “And I am so excited that I get to do it all by myself. That is very nice, but I won’t let him do that.”
She added, “I work really hard to do elaborate things for True and I don’t need anyone’s help.”
Thompson also lives in the same Los Angeles neighborhood as Khloé and her kids. He was briefly invited to move into her house in early 2023 after the death of his mother, Andrea. (In the wake of his mom’s death, Thompson received custody of brother Amari, who is epileptic.)
“God does have a plan and God doesn’t want him to be alone right now. And why should he be?” Khloé said on a July 2023 episode of The Kardashians. “I just think this is what family does. When s— hits the fan all you have is your family and Tristan and I are family. We are going to be family for the rest of our lives.”
