In April 2018, according to US reports, Tristan Thompson was spotted “kissing” a woman in nightclub footage. Sources reportedly identified the mystery brunette as the New York strip bar worker and Instagram model Lani Blair.
That same month, the news was quickly followed by reports from TMZ that Tristan had returned to his hotel room in NYC on that same Saturday night with another woman.
Khloe and Tristan have reportedly called it quits again, according to PageSix.
A friend of the former couple dished to the outlet regarding their relationship, saying, “They’re getting along. There is no drama.
“Everything is amicable and they are on the same page with co-parenting.”
The rumors regarding their split have surfaced after Tristan was allegedly spotted entering a room with three women at a Bel Air birthday party on June 18, 2021.
He reportedly looked “disheveled” upon leaving, according to a source who told the Daily Mail.
The source said, “Tristan took off into one of the party rooms where everyone goes to hook up.
“He was with three women and another guy. One of the girls he was with is a regular partier — she’s always out and about at parties.
The source added, “The other girls have just started going out with this group. He did this in front of about 30 people so you could hear people talking.”
In the short clip, which was also posted by Tristan’s old teammate Jordan Clarkson, the Cleveland Cavaliers player appeared to have his arm around Khloe, who wore her hair in long braids.
Despite their appearance, sources told the publication that Khloe and Tristan are not back together.
The insider added that the pair are still living separately but Tristan sees the Good American founder and daughter True, four, every day as they continue to co-parent.
The source shared: “The pandemic has simply given them a chance to hang out more and work on their friendship.”
The duo appears to be on good terms as they were reportedly spotted together to pick up daughter True from her gymnastics class.
Tristan and Khloe also spoke about growing their family in a clip for the upcoming season of Keeping Up with The Kardashians.
Khloe said in the clip: “True is getting older and I feel like it’s now time to have another kid.”
Tristan, who is also father to son Prince with ex Jordan Craig, responded: “That’s what I like to hear!”
On October 6, 2021, it was reported that Tristan was allegedly “begging” for Khloe to take him back.
A source close to the couple told The Sun that Khloe gave him an ultimatum.
“He’s been begging Khloe to take him back, and to make it official,” they said.
“He’s told her he’s going to prove it to her that he can do it and so he’s sworn that he’ll not go near any other girls for six months before he asks her again.”
They continued, “She’s made it clear that if he can do that, then she’ll welcome him with open arms.
“But if he can’t, then he’s gone for good.”
The couple seemed to be warming back up until Thompson received a lawsuit from another woman, claiming he owes child support and pregnancy-related fees.
Maralee Nichols gave birth to a son last week and claims she and Tristan conceived the child in March 2021, according to documents obtained by People.
A source told the magazine that Khloe reportedly knows about the child and she and Tristan were together when the alleged infidelity occurred. The source said Khloe is “moving on” from Tristan, but they are successfully co-parenting their daughter, True.
“Tristan and Khloé have been broken up for a while, and things are okay between them.
However, a source exclusively told US Weekly that Tristan had opened up to Khloe about Maralee’s child before the news hit social media.
“Tristan told Khloé when media outlets began digging and officially calling his team for comment.
“He knew it was inevitable (and) that he would no longer be able to keep it from her.”

In an attempt to clarify the rumors surrounding her relationship with Tristan Thompson, Maralee Nichols broke her silence in an exclusive interview with E! News.
During the interview, Maralee stated: “Over the past couple of weeks, many inaccurate and false stories have been circulated about me. I have not at any point released, nor have I directed anyone else to release, any information regarding Tristan Thompson or any litigation involving him. I have never spoken to any media outlet, nor have I leaked any information to anyone at any time. I am providing this statement because I feel I must defend my character.”
She went on to say that: “I have seen fake stories, unflattering photos of me, people using photos that are not even me, stating an incorrect occupation and age. There have been multiple fake Instagram posts claiming to be me, making false statements and attaching stock photos of a sonogram and a child.”
She added: “These are the facts: I have lived in California since 2019. I am not a personal trainer. I have not worked as a personal trainer for four years; I do fitness modeling. I was never a personal trainer for Tristan.”

Maralee concluded: “I saw Tristan in March 2021 around his birthday. He told me he had wanted to see me. I agreed to meet him in Houston at a private party on March 12. I never drove a Maserati to meet Tristan, as he claimed. He has never even been in my vehicle. I used an Uber or was driven by friends that weekend. Houston was one of many nights we spent together. Soon after his birthday weekend in Houston, Tristan invited me to visit him in Boston.”
In discussing the circumstances surrounding her pregnancy, Maralee stated: “I was induced on November 29, 2021, because I had a placenta abnormality. There is no other medical reason why I needed to be induced. I gave birth on December 1, 2021. Instead of focusing on any negativity, I am choosing to embrace being a mother and doing the best I can for my son. I do not want any further media attention, nor do I want a romantic relationship with Tristan.
“My goal is to raise our son in a safe, healthy, loving, and private environment.”
Khloe revealed during an appearance on Sarah Hyland’s Lady Parts in March 2021 that she had plans to expand her family with Tristan and had previously undergone an embryo procedure.
She explained, “We realized that my eggs aren’t strong enough to be frozen. They should be mixed immediately with sperm to make embryos. So I actually have made embryos.
“And then, with Covid, finding this whole fertility process, if you do need assistance in fertility, it’s much more challenging during Covid.”
