Officially, Tristan Thompson is a father to four children.
On August 5, 2022, PEOPLE verified that the NBA player and Khloé Kardashian had welcomed their second child. Thompson has three different women as co-parents of his four children.
The athlete and his ex-girlfriend Jordan Craig welcomed their first kid, a son named Prince Oliver, in December 2016. August 2014 saw the beginning of his romantic relationship with Craig, and by October 2016, when she revealed her pregnancy, they were supposedly no longer together. That October, he was photographed with Kardashian during a Labour Day weekend trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
The creator of Good American was quick to deny rumours that Thompson had cheated on his fiancée in favour of her. “PS he never left ANYONE for me,” she replied to a remark on Instagram. “I have said this before but as I have learned the truth isn’t as exciting as a lie.”
The reality star and Thompson’s romance heated very fast. They revealed their pregnancy a year later, and their daughter True was born in April 2018.
Photos and videos of Thompson with another woman appeared a few days before True was born, sparking accusations of adultery. Although the two remained together at first, they broke up in February 2019 due to rumours that Thompson had cheated on Kardashian’s younger sister Kylie Jenner’s best friend, Jordyn Woods.
After spending the next summer in quarantine with their daughter during the pandemic, Thompson and Kardashian got back together. They reconciled, and in June 2021, Kardashian openedly talked about looking into surrogacy options so they may have a second child together. In June of 2021, she disclosed that she “did have [a surrogate] and then it fell through.” That same month, the couple broke up again, a source told PEOPLE.
Fitness model Maralee Nichols claimed to be expecting Thompson’s child in December 2021, and on December 1st, she welcomed her baby Theo into the world. The next month, Thompson found out the baby was indeed his after asking for a paternity test.
A representative for Kardashian announced on July 13, 2022, that she and Thompson were expecting their second child together through surrogacy. However, the duo hasn’t spoken to each other since December 2022 and are not getting back together. The ex-couples welcomed Tatum, their son, a month later.
Despite their turbulent history, Kardashian wished Thompson a happy 32nd birthday on Instagram in March 2023.
“You are the greatest uncle, brother, and father there is. Your affection, care, hugs, funny dances, bedtime routines, carpool rides, and the way you show up for them all mean a lot. She posted multiple photos of the basketball player with his family and children, saying, “All of the above means more than you’ll ever know to your family of littles.” “Happy birthday baby daddy.”
Here’s all you need to know about Tristan Thompson’s children with Craig, Kardashian, and Nichols, from the birth of his first child to the arrival of his most recent little one.
On December 12, 2016, the NBA player’s first kid was born in Los Angeles to model Jordan Craig, who was Thompson’s previous girlfriend.
When Craig found out she was pregnant in April 2016, she said she was living a “extravagant” life with Thompson, according to court documents that RadarOnline was able to get in 2019. The model claimed that although Thompson was excited to begin a family at the time, she discovered his infidelity only a month later.
As part of her demand for child support from Thompson, she allegedly filed the documents in November 2018. “Tristan insisted he would change for our family, and tried to get back together on numerous occasions,” she stated in the documents. Craig was pregnant when the couple separated, and soon after, Thompson and Kardashian became connected.
Thompson allegedly received a child support order in 2019 ordering her to give Craig $40,000 per month.
Thompson has posted numerous pictures and videos of his son on Instagram throughout the years, especially on Father’s Day and his birthday.
On Father’s Day of 2018, the athlete shared a picture of his then-18-month-old kid holding hands with baby True, who was just 10 weeks old. This was the first time fans saw Prince.
The athlete shared a picture of himself and his son on his Instagram Story in August 2021, expressing the happiness that comes with being a father: “The biggest blessing in the world is to be a father 🙏🏾.”
The happy father shared pictures of his two young children hanging out at an arcade that October. “Permit me to adore you even more before you stop being so
bit less #MyEverything❤️❤️,” he wrote as the photo’s description.
Thompson and Prince Oliver hit the court in August 2022, and Thompson shared pictures of his oldest child sporting a Chicago Bulls shirt. Thompson wrote, “Training Day,” over pictures of his son with a basketball. He said, “Starting them early,” as the description for a second video of the young player dribbling.
