Tristan Thompson celebrated a new school year for his oldest son, Prince, with a sweet first-day post.
The former NBA star shared several photos on Wednesday, Aug. 12 of the 9-year-old heading off to fourth grade. In the pictures, the father-son duo posed together outside as Prince showed off his back-to-school look and backpack.
“My best friend’s first day of 4th grade. Man I’m getting old,” Thompson captioned the post.
Prince, whom Thompson shares with ex Jordan Craig, wore a white T-shirt with tan sweatpants and white sneakers for his first day. Thompson kept his look all black as he smiled alongside his son.
In another photo, Thompson rested his arm across Prince’s shoulders, while third picture showed the two throwing up peace signs for the camera.
Prince is the oldest of Thompson’s four children. The 35-year-old also shares daughter True, 8, and son Tatum, 4, with Khloé Kardashian. He is also dad to 4-year-old son Theo, whom he shares with Maralee Nichols.
Earlier this year, Thompson spoke about the relationships between the mothers of his children during an appearance on The Katie Miller Podcast. He said maintaining a family connection remains important because his children will always be siblings.
“We’re all friends. We’re all family,” Thompson said. “At the end of the day, we’re all family. We all have each other’s contact info. We’re all in a great place because I think that’s the number one thing.”
He continued, “No matter how you chop it up and no matter how you want to put it together, we’re all tied together. We’re all family, and our kids are all siblings, and they’re going to be in each other’s lives for a long time.”
