TRISTAN Thompson’s son Prince celebrated his eighth birthday in Dubai with his mom Jordan Craig over the weekend.
Basketball player Tristan, 33, who has allegedly failed to pay $224,000 in child support, was nowhere to be seen in snaps shared to his baby mama’s Instagram grid.

Prince marked his big day in grand style, with a variety of opulent activities prepared for him by his doting mpther.
His endeavors included a camel ride across the desert and a yacht trip out to sea, where Prince was seen decked out in a Louis Vuitton bag and chain necklaces.
Their trip was made even more special when they dined at an aquarium restaurant, where a snuba diver appeared holding a sign that read, “Daddy & Mommy love you Prince!”
But the birthday boy also experienced a touch of everyday life during the getaway, with Jordan sharing a moment of him completing homework.

However, the excitement of the day took its toll, as Prince adorably fell asleep at the dinner table after all the celebrations.
Their luxurious stay included flying first class and a warm hotel welcome, with balloons spelling out “Welcome to Dubai Big P” adorning their room.
Jordan, who has been vocal about her devotion to her son, shared a heartfelt tribute to Prince on Instagram.
In the caption accompanying the photos, she wrote: “Welcome to Chapter 8, Prince! While I’m in awe of the brilliant, creative & loving person you’re becoming, part of me wishes I could pause time just a littttttttttle longer.
“You’ve filled my heart in ways I never thought possible, so much so that I can’t even remember my life before you.
“The world is yours, Princey…can’t wait to continue to watch you grow and thrive in your 8th Chapter! Forever and always Mommy’s likkle baby.”
After his relationship with Jordan, Tristan began dating Khloe Kardashian in 2016.
The NBA player and the Hulu star went on to share two children: True, six, and Tatum, born in summer 2022.
Tristan has yet to meet his other three-year-old son Theo, who was conceived with Maralee Nichols when he was still in a relationship with Khloe.
PAY UP
In court documents filed in September, Jordan claimed her ex hadn’t followed through with child support payments.
They had initially agreed that the NBA star would pay $40,000 a month in child support; however, that allegedly hasn’t been the case.
Jordan claimed that Tristan owes her $224,000 after only making either partial payments or missing child support payments altogether since November 2022.
The model went on to ask the court to withhold Tristan’s earnings with the Cleveland Cavaliers of $80,000 a month, as per the filings.
It also stated that the athlete’s contract with the Cavaliers pays him $2.7 million per year and that Jordan’s request is “certainly less than half of his monthly salary”.
WHERE’S DAD?
Amid Jordan’s court claims, her sister Kia called out Tristan on her Instagram Stories last month to slam his parenting.
She wrote: “It has been so hard to refrain from speaking up, and out of respect for my sister’s privacy I haven’t for over 7 years, but this is just too much.
“It’s so painful to see how Tristan can find the time to do these nice things for others but can’t seem to show up and be a real parent for my nephew Prince.”
Kai continued: “The fact that he can take other children to school and activities in the same city, yet never sees or speaks to his own son, unless it’s for a party or planned photo opportunity, is appalling and inexcusable.”
Khloe’s sister Kim Kardashian was then called out by Kai specifically, as she wrote: “Kim, I don’t want to believe that you are this insensitive to the fact that he literally ignores his children.
“That’s nice if he’s been a good friend to you, but let’s consider our sisters before taking to global platforms to defend this man’s character.”
