KHLOE Kardashian’s ex Tristan Thompson has shared a rare photo of his son Prince after ‘still not meeting’ his eight-month-old son with Maralee Nichols.
Tristan, 31, recently welcomed a baby boy with his ex Khloe, 38, via a surrogate birth.

The NBA power forward shared the photo of Prince, five, in an Instagram Story post on Saturday.
The photo shows the five-year-old standing on a hardwood court while holding a basketball.
Prince wears his father’s number three Chicago Bulls jersey as he smiles proudly for the picture.
Tristan captioned the snap, “Training day #Prince”, punctuated with a crown emoji.
The Instastory then shifts to a video of Prince attempting to handle the ball.
Tristan can be heard asking, “Let’s see your dribbling skills” as the five-year-old bounces the ball.
The father-of-four captions the video, “Starting them early”, and can be heard voicing encouragement as he yells, “Yes sir!” as he continues to record.
Tristan shares Prince with his ex Jordan Craig, 31, True, four, and a newborn son with Khloe, and Theo with Maralee Nichols, 31.
While it seems the NBA star is making strides to support his son Prince, it would appear he has not taken the same steps in regard to his son Theo.
Maralee has claimed Tristan has still not met the eight-month-old.
ABSENTEE FATHER
According to Us Weekly, he has “no immediate plans” to meet his son.
The source shared: “Tristan is very absent from Theo’s life. He hasn’t met Theo nor has he initiated any meetings.
“He doesn’t have any immediate plans to meet his son face to face.”
The insider also revealed the 31-year-old “hasn’t been in communication with Maralee and hasn’t sent her any money for child support to date.”
They added: “This aspect hasn’t legally been resolved yet.”
Previously, Maralee demanded that Tristan pay “$47K” a month and $1 million in legal fees after he allegedly refused to give child support to their baby.
She filed the paperwork at a Los Angeles court in early March- in the legal documents, she claimed that the Chicago Bulls player has an “income of $9.7million alone.”
The model has requested a “guideline monthly child support of $47,424.”
However, amid the dispute, Tristan has slammed his third baby mama as a “gold digger.”
NEW BABY BOY
Tristan and the Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum welcomed a baby boy via surrogate last week.
It is currently not yet known what the little one’s name is.
The baby was conceived before Khloe learned that Tristan had cheated on her with his mistress Maralee with whom he fathered Theo in December.
In July, a statement from Khloe’s representative confirmed that she is having a second child via a surrogate mother.
It was later revealed that Tristan is the father of the baby, and he already shares a four-year-old daughter named True with his reality star ex.
The statement said that the baby was conceived in November last year – days before Khloe and Tristan split over his love child scandal.
“Khloe is incredibly grateful to the extraordinary surrogate for such a beautiful blessing,” said the rep.
Khloe and Tristan were on-again, off-again from 2016 to 2021 when the NBA confessed to cheating on Khloe yet again with fitness model Maralee.
Paternity tests later confirmed that he had fathered a child as result of the one-night affair.
It wasn’t the first time Tristan was unfaithful to Khloe – model Sydney Chase claimed that she hooked up with him in 2020, and he kissed Kylie Jenner‘s bestie Jordyn Woods at a house party in 2019.
