Khloé Kardashian Shares Update on Her Dating Life 3 Years After Tristan Thompson Breakup

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

The Cleveland Cavaliers center posted photos of himself with three out of his four children—Prince Thompson, 8, who the athlete shares with Jordan Craig, and his and his other ex Khloe Kardashian's kids True Thompson, 6, and Tatum Thompson, 2—captioning the Dec. 18 Instagram post with a simple red heart emoji.

Tristan is also the father of Theo, 3, who he shares with ex Maralee Nichols, but has never included him in his social media posts, despite occasionally posting images of his kids with Jordan and Khloe over the years.

Maralee, a fitness model, filed a paternity suit against the NBA player in 2021 while she was pregnant with Theo. At the time, Tristan and Khloe were expecting baby Tatum via surrogate, but the cheating scandal ultimately led to the end of their romantic relationship.

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

"Dating has not been a focus for me, and I’ve been single for about three years and love it. I really, really do," Khloe said in an interview with Bustle published Dec. 3. "But I’m not single and dating. I'm just single. I have such power and strength in that."

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

"I’ve always been such a confident person, and then I went through some personal things with my relationships and a lot of them took a hit at my self-esteem," shared Khloe, who also finalized a divorce from Lamar Odom in 2016. "I started being so mean to myself and I don’t know where it came from."

Tristan had apologized to Khloe publicly over the cheating scandal, which was not the first he was involved in during his time dating her.

"I think the thing that always sticks to my mind, it's like, I know how much I care about you, I know how much I love you," he told Khloe on an October 2023 episode of The Kardashians. "You're my best friend. I meet my person—how come I've done so much wrong things to them? Why put you through that?"

Khloe has said she forgives Tristan over his infidelity.

"What happened between Tristan and I was not some small little incident, it was some massive situation that really was a very traumatic experience for me and my life, so I'm not going to forget it," she said on the show, "but I'm so proud that I'm able to be kind and mature. And show my children that Mommy and Daddy can coexist and be coparents."

Child No. 2: Daughter True Thompson

Khloe Kardashian and Tristan's first child was born in April 2018 in Cleveland, when he was a player for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Khloe gave birth on the heels of an alleged cheating scandal surrounding the NBA star and a year and a half after the two went public with their relationship.

Over the next few years, Khloe and Tristan would weather more ups and downs in their relationship as they continued to co-parent True.

Child No. 3: Son Theo

In December 2021, it was brought to light that Maralee Nichols had sued Tristan the previous June for pregnancy and birth expenses following a sexual encounter on his 30th birthday the previous March. She stated in her filing that she is pregnant with a baby boy and that Tristan is the father.

In his own filing, Tristan confirmed the two were intimate around the time in question and requested a paternity test. Maralee gave birth to the child, Theo, in December, and said in a statement to E! News that she had met the NBA star in 2020 and that he had told her "he was single and co-parenting."

In January 2022, Tristan announced on Instagram that "paternity test results reveal that I fathered a child with Maralee Nichols," and added, "Khloe, you don't deserve this. You don't deserve the heartache and humiliation I have 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."

In his statement, Tristan also said he looked forward to "amicably raising" his son with Maralee. In February 2022, her rep told E! News that the NBA star has not made any attempt" to meet the child. Tristan has not commented.

In December 2022, multiple outlets reported that the basketball player reached an agreement with Maralee, under which he will pay $9,500 per month in child support while she will have sole custody of Theo.
