Khloé Kardashian brought her kids, daughter True and son Tatum, to watch their father, Tristan Thompson, play in the NBA semifinals.
Kardashian, who is 39 years old, looked stylish in a black coat and black leather pants as she arrived at Cleveland’s Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse on Monday, May 13. It was the kids' first time watching their dad play professional basketball. True, who is 6 years old, wore a pink T-shirt and boots, while Tatum, who will be turning 2 in July, was seen walking into the stadium.
Saint West, the 8-year-old son of Kim Kardashian, joined the group for the Cleveland Cavaliers' game against the Boston Celtics. Tristan Thompson, a former L.A. Laker, signed a one-season contract with the Cavs last fall.
Although Khloé and Thompson are no longer romantically involved, they are dedicated coparents. The reality star, 39, ended her relationship with the 33-year-old athlete in April 2018 following his infidelity with multiple women. Despite attempting to work through the scandal, they ultimately split for good after Maralee Nichols sued Thompson for child support upon the birth of their son, Theo, in December 2021. Thompson confirmed his paternity a month later. (He also has a 7-year-old son, Prince, with his ex, Jordan Craig.)
Shortly after the news of Thompson's affair with Nichols came out, Khloé and Thompson shared that they were expecting their second child through a surrogate.
According to a source, the baby was conceived via surrogate before it was known to Khloé and the public that Tristan was having a child with someone else in December. Tatum was born in July 2022.
Khloé appeared on the “SHE MD” podcast on Tuesday, May 7. She mentioned that Thompson made mistakes during their relationship, but she doesn't want to criticize him.
She described Thompson as a kind person and shared that they have a good relationship now. Although they are not meant to be together, she feels he was meant to be the father of her kids. Khloé expressed gratitude for their positive relationship, as it reminds her of how well her parents got along.
True, their oldest child, marked her sixth birthday in April.
Khloé expressed her feelings on Instagram, saying, "I can't believe True is turning 6 tomorrow. Why am I feeling so emotional? Why are tears streaming down my face?"
Khloé's mom, Kris, shared a heartfelt message on social media, expressing her love for her "beautiful granddaughter." She described True as an amazing daughter, sister, granddaughter, cousin, and friend with the best dance moves. Kris highlighted True's kind, sweet, thoughtful, and funny nature, noting her infectious energy and love for life. She wished True a birthday filled with love, laughter, and lots of dancing, expressing her love by saying, "I love you to the moon and back!"
