The Kardashians fans will have seen Khloé Kardashian explain her complicated relationship with the father of her two children, True and Tatum Thompson. Tristan Thompson, Khloé’s former partner, wished his son, Tatum, a Happy First Birthday in July 2023. However, fans are confused over his recent post and accused Tristan Thompson of “not acknowledging” his son, Theo.
Tristan Thompson is a father of four. He welcomed his first son with his ex-girlfriend, Jordan Craig, in 2016. He and Khloé Kardashian then welcomed their daughter True, in 2018. In 2021, fitness model Maralee Nichols welcomed a son named Theo. A paternity test confirmed that Tristan is his father. Six months after Theo was born, Khloé and Tristan welcomed their son, Tatum, to the world via surrogate in July 2022.

Tristan reportedly “tried to silence Maralee with $75,000 and requested a paternity test” after his son’s birth in December 2021, writes Grazia.
He wrote in his Instagram Stories post that he “looked forward to amicably raising his son” with Maralee.
The Kardashians star also publicly apologized to Khloé for “heartache” and “humiliation.”
