Cleveland Cavaliers forward, Tristan Thompson and Khloé Kardashian have been on and off, owing to Tristan’s long history of being involved in cheating scandals. They first met in 2016 and have been through a fair share of ups and downs in their relationship. During their time together, they share two children – a four-year-old daughter named True Thompson, and a boy named Tatum, born via surrogacy in the summer of 2022. The couple, once relationship goals for many, quickly found themselves navigating rocky terrain as Tristan’s unfaithful behavior repeatedly came to the surface. Despite numerous chances, Tristan’s inability to mend his ways proved to be their relationship’s undoing.

The rift left not only Khloé but also the entire Kardashian clan, with a bitter aftertaste. In a recent episode of the captivating American reality television series “The Kardashians,” Kourtney Kardashian voiced her deep-seated discontent with Tristan’s treatment of her sister, Khloe.
