“The Kardashians” star Khloé Kardashian recently informed the public in no uncertain terms that she was single. The mother of two was famously linked to Tristan Thompson, the father of her children before they stopped seeing each other in 2021.
Thompson cheated on Khloé a number of times when they were together, each incident more embarrassing and publicized than the last. In 2021, he was involved in a paternity suit with a fitness instructor named Maralee Nichols, who he slept with on his 30th birthday weekend.
Khloé has reportedly refrained from communicating with Thompson except when exchanging co-parenting information; however, they seem to be on much friendlier terms now. The reality star flew to Canada with him in January to be by his side after his mother, Andrea, passed.

Tristan Thompson Cheated On Khloé Kardashian
Thompson and Khloé’s relationship has been riddled with cheating rumors over the years. The NBA star reportedly cheated on the mother of two first in 2018, two years after they started dating. Thompson had cheated mere days before she gave birth to their first daughter, True.
He followed it up a year later, in 2019, when he kissed Jordyn Woods at a party, causing a major falling out between Woods and the family. By 2021, Thompson cheated once again; however, this was on a much grander scale. The NBA player slept with Nichols on his 30th birthday weekend and got her pregnant.
Khloé, who was getting ready to welcome her second child with Thompson via surrogate, was not informed about the development until Nichols’ paternity suit was made public in December 2021. Thompson has reportedly not met his one-year-old son with Nichols; however, he sends in $10,000 monthly child support.

In January, Thompson’s mother, Andrea, suddenly passed after suffering a heart attack. As soon as they heard the news, the NBA star and Khloé boarded a private jet and flew to Canada to be with his family. Besides the reality star, her family, including Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian, flew to Toronto to attend Andrea’s funeral.
Weeks after her death, Thompson finally broke his silence and released a statement online. There the athlete apologized to his mother for causing her “pain” and “embarrassment” when she was alive and acknowledged that his choices were not a reflection of how he was raised.
Thompson also shared several pictures of them over the years along with Khloé on Instagram. In the post, he revealed that he was in “disbelief” and “the deepest part of sorrow & grief” over her passing. He also promised to make Andrea proud and pledged to take care of Amari, his younger brother, who was diagnosed with epilepsy.
“I know they say time heals all, but I don’t think this pain will ever go away,” Thompson wrote. “We had so many memories & more I wanted to share with you. We will still share them, but now from heaven.”
