TRISTAN Thompson turns 31 on Sunday, March 13. But the NBA player has already had a lifetime of scandals.
Khloe Kardashian’s ex has three children with three different women, often dating more than one at a time.
And the basketballer has an even longer history of relationships with reality stars and Instagram models.
His relationships have often ended with allegations of cheating, and he currently finds himself distanced from all three of his kids.
Take a look below at Tristan’s scandalous past, and what’s next for the disgraced baby daddy.
TRISTAN AND JORDAN
Before dating Khloe, Tristan was in a long-term relationship with model Jordan Craig.
They welcomed a son, Prince Oliver, in December 2016.
Tristan reportedly left his pregnant girlfriend to date Khloe, though no details of him and Jordan ending their relationship seem to exist.
TRISTAN AND KHLOE
Tristan and Khloe were first rumored to be seeing each other in September 2016, when they were both spotted leaving Bootsy Bellows nightclub in Los Angeles within minutes of each other.
One month later, the pair were more open with their budding relationship and put on a racy display on social media when they partied together on Halloween.
They officially confirmed their relationship shortly after Khloe’s divorce from husband Lamar Odom had finally been settled at the end of 2016.
In 2017, Khloe officially announced she was pregnant with Tristan’s baby, but the athlete apparently didn’t take to domesticated life.
During her pregnancy, news broke that Tristan had cheated with multiple women, after photos surfaced of him kissing a random woman at a New York City club.
As the rumors and stories continued, Khloe gave birth to their daughter, True on April 12.
The new mom decided to remain in a relationship with her baby daddy.
TRISTAN AND LANI
In 2018, Tristan was accused of cheating on Khloe with model Lani Blair while Khloe was pregnant with his child.
Days before Khloe went into labor, Tristan was photographed kissing Blair at a rooftop bar in New York.
Video footage also emerged of the pair going into a hotel together.
At the time, a witness said: “They were holding each other and it was so obvious. Everybody knew who he was. We talked about it and everybody watched them make out several times.”
TRISTAN AND TANIA
The NBA star was pictured with one other mystery woman during Khloe’s pregnancy.
He was snapped staying with her in the same New York hotel, dined out together and went clubbing.
Named by sources as Tania, she even travelled to Boston to watch him play for the Cavaliers, it is reported.
In the pictures, Tania was seen exiting a club in a pair of tight, white trousers, a cropped top and short denim jacket.
With a black choker and metallic ankle boots completing her look, she stepped out of the venue with a big smile on her face and into an SUV just moments before the Cleveland Cavaliers star.
Tristan then emerged with his head covered by a white hooded top, looking much more stony faced than his female companion.
TRISTAN AND THE MYSTERY WOMEN
In September 2018, Tristan was spotted leaving a club in the early hours of the morning alongside two women and his entourage.
The basketball player, who was accused of cheating on Khloe throughout his pregnancy, was filmed leaving a club, and someone could be heard telling the beautiful brunettes to “wait right there” while Tristan made his way to the car.
The women were seen getting into a car with other members of his group as they headed off into the night.
Khloe, meanwhile, was at home with the baby and posted a message which appeared to be pointed at Tristan.
It read: “When someone changes for the better, let them. Give them room to be a new version of themselves without holding their past against them.
TRISTAN AND JORDYN
Khloe and Tristan’s first major break-up came in 2019, when news broke that he kissed model Jordyn Woods at a party.
The 22-year-old used to be the longtime friend and roommate of Kylie Jenner, but she was kicked out of their shared home after she admitted to kissing Tristan.
That February, Khloe split with Tristan after he was caught cheating with Jordyn, just three days after spending Valentine’s Day with her in LA.
Since the fallout with her former bff and the rest of the Kardashian-Jenner family, Jordyn has moved on to a new Los Angeles home.
In February 2020, Jordyn opened up about the feud and appeared to throw shade at Kylie in an interview with Forbes Women.
“When everything happened to me, I had a reality check of what really matters in my life,” she admitted of the 2019 scandal.
“I learned that if you can find peace within yourself, you don’t need validation from anything or anyone.
“It’s really about being content with who you are when you go to sleep at night. That is true success to me.”
TRISTAN AND COVID
Leave it to a global pandemic to heal all wounds.
In October 2020, Khloe revealed on Keeping Up With the Kardashians that she had coronavirus and Tristan was caring for True meanwhile she was recovering.
The couple slowly started to reconcile, and the following March, Khloe wished her baby daddy a very happy birthday on social media.
The mom insisted in a post the couple, who reunited over the summer, “came out even stronger” than they were before their cheating scandal.
TRISTAN AND MARILEE
By October, 2021, an insider told The Celeb Report Tristan was “BEGGING Khloe to take him back,” and the basketballer was now on his “best behavior.”
But the last straw came just two months later, with the bombshell announcement that Tristan was expecting his third child with personal trainer Maralee Nichols.
The basketball player initially claimed that his relationship with Maralee was a one-night hookup initially, before admitting they met up several times for sex.
He said in legal documents that they had a four-month affair, from December 2020 to March 2021.
TRISTAN AND THE ADMISSION
In January 2022, Tristan admitted he is the father of Maralee’s baby son and apologized to Khloe for “humiliating” her.
“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,” he wrote on Instagram.
“I sincerely apologize to everyone I’ve hurt or disappointed throughout this ordeal both publicly and privately.
In the following Story, he apologized to Khloe and said: “You don’t deserve this. You don’t deserve the heartache and humiliation I have caused you.
