How Many Kids Does Tristan Thompson Have?

Between playing in the NBA, signing on to new basketball clubs, and participating in fatherhood, the number of children Tristan Thompson has continued to grow. The Chicago Bulls center now has three kids from three different women.

On June 9, 2022, in a new episode of Hulu’s “The Kardashians,” the Kardashians learned about Tristan Thompson’s paternity suit. However, Kim Kardashian was the first to get the news which she now broke to her mother and sisters, except for Khloé Kardashian.

Kim Kardashian told her mother, Kris Jenner, and sisters Kylie Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian that Tristan Thompson had been hit with a paternity lawsuit. The lawsuit from a fitness model and personal trainer, Maralee Nichols, came just after Khloé Kardashian rekindled her romance with him.

Nichols claimed that Thompson fathered her child right after Khloé threw him a party for his 30th birthday. After Nichols filed her lawsuit, Thompson asked for a paternity test, which revealed he fathered the child.

An insider revealed that the lawsuit by Nichols had caused a setback in the relationship between Thompson and Khloé. The source said Khloé still loves him and thought Thompson would have changed his ways despite having cheated on her just before giving birth to their daughter.

WHO ARE TRISTAN THOMPSON’S KIDS?

Thompson became a dad for the first time on December 12, 2016, when his then-ex lifestyle blogger, Jordan Craig, gave birth to their son, Prince. However, their relationship ended before the birth of their son.

Thompson started dating Khloé about the same time, and a year later, she revealed that she was pregnant. Khloé and Thompson welcomed their daughter True on April 12, 2018. A year later, they split after multiple reports of cheating by Thompson.

Their relationship became on and off over the years. However, they were back together when the news of Nichols’s pregnancy broke. On December 1, 2021, Nichols welcomed a son, Theo, with the professional basketball player.

However, Nichols has accused Thompson of not being involved in their baby’s life. She said that besides not meeting their son, Thompson had not provided her with financial assistance.

The father of three once revealed that being a dad changed him. Thompson said that raising a son was different from raising a daughter because, with a girl, he became more emotional.

The basketballer said he expects more kids because “the biggest blessing in the world is to be a father.” Despite his mistakes, Thompson lets his past guide him without letting the guilt over his past decisions rule his life.

WHERE DOES KHLOÉ KARDASHIAN STAND WITH TRISTAN THOMPSON AFTER HIS PATERNITY SUIT?

With the new development in Thompson’s life, Khloé, initially excited that they were back together and had moved into her dream home, said she was now anxious. Khloé said:

“I wanted to believe that Tristan could change. I wanted to trust him. I am so anxious. I fainted the other day.”

However, Khloé, who said she loves being a good mom, is now taking a breather, enjoying family time, and believes that if something is meant to be, it will be, and she does not plan on rushing things.
