According to Business Insider, Thompson was named in a paternity lawsuit in June 2021, and the NBA star later admitted that he had cheated on Kardashian with Nichols. He initially denied paternity of the child, who was born in December 2021, until a genetic test proved he was indeed the father. He was dating Kardashian at the time.

It’s not the first time the NBA star has been caught cheating, as he has a long history of being unfaithful to his partners, according to various reports.

E! News reported that Kardashian and Thompson broke up for good in 2022. “With me and Tristan, would it be really easy to never talk to him again and to just bad-mouth him or whatever?” Kardashian told Tmrw. “Of course. But it’s way harder to be nice.”
