Tristan Thompson was seen as a supportive dad as he accompanied his four-year-old daughter True, who he shares with Khloe Kardashian, to dance class in LA on Friday.
The professional basketball player, 31, and the reality star, 38, who have had an ongoing relationship over the years, welcomed their daughter in 2018 and also a son via surrogacy in early July.
The sports star was notably absent from his son Theo’s first birthday party, whom he shares with ex-girlfriend Maralee Nichols. The model shared snaps from the winter party on Instagram on Friday, with no sign of Thompson.

The basketball player opted for comfort by donning tan sweatpants and a matching hooded sweatshirt.
He added a brown cap to his hand to keep from freezing in the cooler temperatures.
The star slipped into a pair of white socks along with white trainers to complete her overall ensemble for the night.
Tristan was spotted leaving his daughter’s dance class that evening as he led True to their waiting vehicle in the crowded parking lot.

Father duty: While Khloe was in Miami for Art Basel 2022, the basketball player took on father duty in her absence
The athlete took over her father’s duties while Khloe traveled to Miami with her sister Kim Kardashian to attend numerous events during Art Basel 2022.
His daughter got into the sleek car as the two quickly exited after the dance class ended.
Khloe and Tristan began dating in 2016 and welcomed their first child, True, two years later. During her pregnancy, allegations began circulating that the Canadian-born sports star was cheating on the reality star.
The two seemed to have worked out things at the time, but the stars officially split in 2019 when Tristan reportedly kissed Kylie Jenner’s now-ex-girlfriend, Jordyn Woods.

As of 2020, the ex-boyfriends were involved in an on-again, off-again relationship and were together when Tristan began dating fitness model Maralee in 2021. The cheating scandal became public when Nichols sued Tristan for child support, leading him to admit to having an affair.
However, in early July this year, the TV personality and basketball player welcomed their second child, a son, via a surrogate mother.
Khloe opened up about welcoming her son during The Kardashians season 2 premiere.
Referring to Tristan’s previous cheating scandals, she said on the show, “Every single day I feel depressed and sad and now that my son is here I can go ahead and enjoy it,” she told People.

“It’s almost like I can close this chapter and be done with this trauma and put it behind me,” the businesswoman emotionally expressed, adding, “I’m so grateful. It’s such a beautiful gift to have.’
TMZ reported early last month in November that both Khloe and Tristan formed a non-romantic, co-parenting relationship for their two children.
Sources told Entertainment Magazine that both are in a “good place” while being positively present in the lives of their daughter and son.
In December 2021, Tristan welcomed his son Theo, whom he shares with Maralee. According to The Sun, the Canadian sports star helps with child support but is not active in Theo’s life.

Maralee uploaded various photos from Theo’s first birthday party to her Instagram story on Friday, but Tristan was nowhere to be seen.
Tristan did not acknowledge his son’s first birthday on his Instagram account and Maralee did not tag or mention the former Cleveland Cavalier in any of her posts.
“Theo’s Winter ONEderland,” captioned the 31-year-old fitness guru, who has been thoroughly documenting her journey through motherhood since reported her bomb pregnancy scandal in November 2021.
Based on the sweet birthday photos posted in her story, Maralee seemed to make sure every detail of her son’s milestone was flawless and unforgettable.
