TRISTAN Thompson re-emerged looking stoic and serious in Philadelphia after welcoming his third child and “betraying” ex Khloe Kardashian.
The NBA player confirmed that he fathered a child with personal trainer Maralee Nichols earlier this month, leaving the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star “devastated.”
Tristan, 30, was spotted arriving in Philadelphia this week, looking grave as he carried an overnight bag and gray backpack.
The basketball player sported a black hoodie, camo jacket, black joggers, white socks, and Nike sneakers as he walked down the street.
The father of three topped off his look with a black beanie, and a little bit of gray could be seen in his full-face beard.
Tristan’s appearance followed his ex Khloe, 37, throwing shade after his major “betrayal.”
KHLOE’S COMMENT
On Thursday, the reality star opened up about how she’s feeling since her ex’s baby scandal in a sultry post on Instagram.
The Good American founder shared a series of snaps of her riding behind the wheel of a car wearing a sexy body-hugging ensemble.
Khloe donned a tight long-sleeve brown SKIMS top with matching leggings and a pair of thigh-high Gucci boots.
She wore her light blonde locks in waves and a full face of makeup as she gazed at the camera.
The E! star struck several poses arching her back, and in one photo held a pair of sunglasses while in the others she gripped the steering wheel.
The KUWTK alum also posed for a couple of shots standing outside the vehicle to capture the stunning image in the sunlight.
Khloe captioned the post: “Betrayal rarely comes from your enemies.”
SHOCKING CONFESSION
The TV star didn’t elaborate on the meaning behind the message, but she has had quite an emotional few weeks after her ex’s recent confession.
Following a month of speculation, Tristan revealed the paternity results of his third child and issued a public apology to Khloe.
The athlete wrote on social media: “Today, paternity test results revealed that I fathered a child with Maralee Nichols.
“I take full responsibility for my actions. Now that paternity has been established, I looked forward to amicably raising our son.
“I sincerely apologize to everyone I’ve hurt or disappointed throughout this ordeal both publicly and privately.”
He then turned his attention directly to his ex and said: “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 have certainly not lined up with the way I view you.
“I have the utmost respect and love for you, regardless of what you may think.”
He concluded: “Again I am so incredibly sorry.”
DIFFICULT TIME
Khloe is said to have been hit hard following Tristan’s admission, as the two share their three-year-old daughter True.
A source told PEOPLE: “Khloe is really struggling. This time that he was unfaithful has been much harder than the previous times. She really wants the relationship to work and she has been devastated.”
The insider added Khloe is “leaning heavily” on her mom, Kris Jenner.
They said: “Kris wants Khloe and Tristan to be in a good place so she’s encouraging Khloe to keep the lines of communication open.
“[Khloe] wanted the fairytale life with him and she’s so upset. People around her have never seen her so down and are so thankful she has her mother there who has barely left her side.”
