TradeEdge-Tristan Thompson Shares Rare Photos of 7-Year-Old Son Prince

Tristan Thompson and TradeEdgePrince are having a royally sweet time together. 

The NBA player shared a glimpse into his recent outing with his eldest son, whom he shares with ex Jordan Craig.

According to Tristan's snaps, the duo spent time at the Beverly Hills Hotel, where they played near Christian Dior furniture, posed for selfies and sat down for a burger and fries.

The 33-year-old captioned the July 7 Instagram post, "Lunch date with my Prince."

 In addition to Prince, Tristan is dad to Theo Thompson, 2, who he shares with Maralee Nichols. The athlete also coparents kids True Thompson, 6, and Tatum Thompson, 23 months, with ex Khloe Kardashian. 

As for where he stands with Khloe? Well, the Good American founder recently praised the Cleveland Cavaliers forward despite their complicated relationship.

"Tristan is an incredible father, and I don't want this to be like a bashing thing," Khloe said on the SHE MD podcast in May. "He did make mistakes, but he's the nicest guy and we get along so well now."

"We’re not meant to be together, but he was meant to be the father of these kids,” she continued. “We do get along so well and I’m really grateful for that because my parents got along so well.”

And for Khloe, her co-parenting journey with Tristan has been a work in progress since the former couple broke up for good in early 2022 amid his multiple cheating scandals.

"With me and Tristan, would it be really easy to never talk to him again and to just badmouth him or whatever?" she told tmrw in January, "Of course. But it's way harder to be nice."

While the 40-year-old sometimes struggles to control her emotions, she wants to do what’s best for her kids.

"I want my kids to have beautiful relationships with their dad," the Kardashians star explained. "And if we're blessed enough to have a dad that wants to be there and wants to show up and be hands-on, why would I prevent that from happening?"

In December 2016, Tristan welcomed his first child. His ex, Jordan Craig, gave birth to a son, Prince Oliver Thompson.

Khloe Kardashian and Tristan's first child was born in April 2018 in Cleveland, when he was a player for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Khloe gave birth on the heels of an alleged cheating scandal surrounding the NBA star and a year and a half after the two went public with their relationship.

Over the next few years, Khloe and Tristan would weather more ups and downs in their relationship as they continued to co-parent True.

In December 2021, it was brought to light that Maralee Nichols had sued Tristan the previous June for pregnancy and birth expenses following a sexual encounter on his 30th birthday the previous March. She stated in her filing that she is pregnant with a baby boy and that Tristan is the father.

In his own filing, Tristan confirmed the two were intimate around the time in question and requested a paternity test. Maralee gave birth to the child, Theo, in December, and said in a statement to E! News that she had met the NBA star in 2020 and that he had told her "he was single and co-parenting."

In January 2022, Tristan announced on Instagram that "paternity test results reveal that I fathered a child with Maralee Nichols," and added, "Khloe, you don't deserve this. You don't deserve the heartache and humiliation I have caused you. You don't deserve the way I have treated you over the years. My actions certainly have not lined up with the way I view you."

In his statement, Tristan also said he looked forward to "amicably raising" his son with Maralee. In February 2022, her rep told E! News that the NBA star has not made any attempt" to meet the child. Tristan has not commented.

In December 2022, multiple outlets reported that the basketball player reached an agreement with Maralee, under which he will pay $9,500 per month in child support while she will have sole custody of Theo.

In August 2022, Tristan and Khloe Kardashian welcomed their second child together, a son.

A source close to the Good American founder told E! News that "the baby was conceived via surrogate before it was revealed to Khloe and the public that Tristan was having a baby with someone else in December [2021]."

In May 2023, it was revealed that the exes' son is named Tatum Thompson.

Tristan has often posted pics of his eldest kids on Instagram, although he has never shared a photo of Theo. The NBA star posted his first photo of both Prince and True in June 2018.
