Tristan Thompson’s life off the court is a story in itself, as he’s had his share of scandals and ‘baby mama’ drama like many celebrities have. Despite it all, Thompson is still a proud father to his kids. Who are they? Well here are five questions and answers about Tristan Thompson’s children.
1. How many kids does Tristan Thompson have?
Tristan Thompson has two children, 3-year-old Prince Thompson with his ex Jordan Craig, and 2-year-old True Thompson with his girlfriend, reality mogul Khloe Kardashian.
2. How many kids does he have with Khloe Kardashian?
Tristan Thompson and Khloe Kardashian had True Thompson together, and although there were rumors that Khloe was pregnant with their second child, Khloe shot them down.
3. Are he and Khloe together?
Tristan and Khloe first began dating in 2016, and they welcomed True Thompson in 2018. They broke up after two separate cheating scandals in 2019, but they got back together in June 2020 and their relationship has apparently been great ever since. Khloe and Tristan hope to give True a sibling in the future.
4. Does Tristan see his son?
Tristan is rarely seen with Prince Thompson, but he does pay $40,000 a month in child support to Jordan on Prince’s behalf. In April 2020, Tristan Thompson stated that he wanted to have another baby with Khloe and was blasted by fans for it, who accused him of neglecting Prince.
5. Does he have a ‘baby mama’ named Kimberly Alexander?
No. In May 2020, Tristan filed a libel lawsuit against Kimberly Alexander, a woman who persistently claims that he is the father of her 5-year-old son. In the lawsuit, Tristan says that he took a paternity test in January that ādefinitively concluded that [he] is not the fatherā and says that Alexander is just ādesperate to achieve her 15 minutes of fame.ā
Tristanās attorney Marty Singer’s statement about the lawsuit reads: āAlexander has persisted in publicly proclaiming that Thompson is her childās father and she has maliciously accused Thompson of being a deadbeat dad, āneglectingā and failing to take financial responsibility for the child since birth. Such statements are absolutely false and are defamatory per se. To quote Michael Jackson, āthe kid is not [his] son.āā
