Khloé Kardashian’s relationship with her ex, Tristan Thompson, has evolved with time. The pair have faced rocky patches, especially when he cheated on the reality TV star multiple times, which led to the end of their romance.
Does Khloé Kardashian Have Bad Blood With Her Ex’s Other Baby Mamas?
Thompson has addressed the situation between all the members of his family, which consists of his four kids and their three mothers. He shares that everyone, including Kardashian, has a smooth relationship, noting that they have moved past the drama. The NBA star, in describing the status of the existing relationship between the mothers of his children, said that they are all friends.
To highlight the level of smooth sailing in the family, Thompson said, “We all have each other’s contact info. We’re all in a great place, because I think that’s the No. 1 thing.” He continued, explaining that no matter what happens, they are all tied together, all the kids are siblings, hence, they have to be in each other’s lives for years to come.
The pro-basketballer praised all his baby mamas for displaying high levels of maturity and understanding. Because they understand that the goal is to be great parents to the kids and communicate effectively, Thompson shared that coparenting has been great while speaking on a recent podcast. “Shout-out to my kids’ mothers, they’re phenomenal. They make my life easy,” he said after stating that having the same beliefs makes it easier for the parents to build a strong support system for the whole family.
Inside Tristan Thompson’s Relationship With The Mothers Of His Kids
The NBA champ’s oldest child, Prince, came from his relationship with Jordan Craig, whom he broke up with in 2016 amid her pregnancy. Shortly after, he began a relationship with Kardashian that same year and welcomed their daughter, True, in 2018. US Weekly reported that while the reality TV star was pregnant with their daughter, Thompson cheated on her with multiple women.
Initially, the business mogul decided to continue the relationship and work through the odds, but ultimately called it quits when he kissed her sister’s BFF Jordyn Woods in 2019. The former lovebirds decided to give love a second fighting chance the following year, but the romance was short-lived. In 2021, Kardashian and the athlete reconciled briefly before the last straw when it was made public that Thompson was having a baby with another woman, Maralee Nichols.
At the time of his affair with Nichols, which resulted in the conception and birth of their son, Theo, Kardashian’s surrogate was already pregnant with their son, Tatum. Due to the short timeline of his relationship with the three women, the Thompson kids are very close in age, and their father described it as a beautiful occurrence, as they love spending time with each other.
The Athlete Allegedly Called His Third Child ‘A Mistake’
At the time when Thompson stepped out on Kardashian with Nichols, there were speculations that he and the TV star may have been engaged. Speculations arose from “The Kardashians” star’s social media as her photos featured a huge diamond ring on her left ring finger. The mom of two never confirmed or denied the rumors.
The Blast, however, reports that Nichols submitted Snapchat messages between her and Thompson in court documents showing that he told her that he was engaged and had plans to get married shortly. According to the message exchange, Nichols alleged that she was completely unaware of his relationship status as she called him out to take responsibility for Theo.
The basketballer allegedly told his baby mama that he had no plans of either being in the child’s life or building a family with Nichols. “Why not wait till you find the right person to have a family with. Why would you want a baby with a man that’s engaged? You wanna keep a mistake,” part of the message reportedly read.
Tristan Thompson Cleared His Name In A Previous Paternity Case
In 2021, another woman, identified as Kimberly Alexander, rose with claims that Thompson was the father of her child. She involved Kardashian in the drama after she came out with fake DMs showing concocted conversations between her and the TV star.
Alexander reportedly admitted to the DMs being faked, and the paternity test results showed that the athlete was not the father of her son. According to TMZ, the NBA star took the test twice, and the results clearly showed that he was not the dad. However, Alexander did not let go; she spread claims that the lab that did the test was a “Kardashian-affiliated facility.”
The media personality’s legal representative, Lynda Goldman, shut down the claims, explaining that the lab was one of the most reputable labs in the country, adding that Alexander’s lawyers approved and accepted the test results. Kardashian put out a cease-and-desist letter demanding that Thompson’s paternity accuser stop harassing or defaming her online, or else she would initiate a lawsuit.
Khloé Kardashian’s Ex Legal Drama Over Child Support
About three years ago, Thompson made headlines after a legal battle ensued with his first baby mama over child support dues. At the time, it was revealed that he was paying Craig $40,000 monthly for their son Prince despite the dip in his income.
There were no reports that the Canadian athlete had missed any payments, but Craig still filed for an “abstract of judgment” in L.A. The purpose of the document is to serve as a public record if a debt, which, in Craig’s case, is the child support payment, becomes unfulfilled by her son’s father.
The Blast also notes that at the time, Thompson was reportedly paying about $120.000 monthly to his three baby mamas as child support dues. Of this lump sum, $9,500 was the monthly due awarded to Theo’s mom after they dragged out the paternity case.
