Tristan Thompson demonstrates his dedication as a caring father to his and Khloe Kardashian’s four-year-old daughter, True, as he accompanies her to dance class. This gesture comes after he was unable to attend his son’s first birthday, who he shares with his former fling, Maralee Nichols.

Tristan Thompson was spotted being a supportive father as he accompanied his four-year-old daughter, True, whom 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 on-and-off relationship over the years, welcomed their daughter in 2018, and also a son earlier in July via surrogacy.

The sports star was notably absent from his son, Theo’s, first birthday celebration, whom he shares with ex-fling, Maralee Nichols. The model shared snaps from the winter-themed party on Instagram earlier Friday, with no trace of Thompson.

The basketball player opted for comfort by donning a pair of tan-colored sweatpants and a matching, hooded sweatshirt.

He added a brown-colored beanie on top of his hand to prevent becoming chilly in the cooler temperatures.

The star slipped into a pair of white socks along with white sneakers to complete his overall ensemble for the night.

Tristan was spotted exiting his daughter’s dance class in the evening as he led True to their awaiting vehicle in the crowded parking lot.

Dad duty: While Khloe spent time in Miami for Art Basel 2022, the basketball player took on dad duty in her absence

The sports player took on dad duty while Khloe traveled to Miami with her sister, Kim Kardashian, to attend numerous events during Art Basel 2022.

His daughter was pictured stepping up into the sleek car as the two made a quick exit 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 that the Canadian-born sports star had cheated on the reality star began to circulate.

The two appeared to have worked out the issues at the time, however, the stars officially split in 2019 when Tristan reportedly kissed Kylie Jenner’s now ex-friend, Jordyn Woods.

Past scandals: The sports player has been involved in past cheating scandals, including reportedly kissing Kylie Jenner’s now ex-friend, Jordyn Woods, when still together with Khloe

Beginning in 2020, the exes were involved in an on-and-off again relationship and were together when Tristan began seeing fitness model, Maralee, in 2021. The cheating scandal became public when Nichols sued Tristan for child support, causing him to admit to having an affair.

However, earlier this year in July, the TV personality and basketball player welcomed their second child, a son, via a surrogate.

Khloe opened up about welcoming her son during the season two premiere of The Kardashians.

She had referenced to Tristan’s past cheating scandals, stating on the series, ‘Every single day, I’ve been feeling depressed and sad, and now that my son is here, I get to move on, and I get to enjoy,’ reported People.

‘It’s almost like I get to close that chapter and be done with this trauma and put it behind me,’ the businesswoman emotionally expressed, adding, ‘I am so grateful. It’s such a beautiful gift that we’re able to have.’

TMZ reported earlier last month in November that both Khloe and Tristan have developed a non-romantic, co-parenting relationship for their two children.

Sources informed the entertainment tabloid that both are in a ‘good place’ while they are positively present in their daughter and son’s lives.

In December 2021, Tristan welcomed his son, Theo, whom he shares with Maralee. According to The Sun, the Canadian sports star assists in child support, but is not active in Theo’s life.

Maralee uploaded various photos of Theo’s first birthday bash onto her Instagram story on Friday, but Tristan was no where 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 fitness guru, 31, who has been thoroughly documenting her journey through motherhood ever since DailyMail.com broke the scandal of her bombshell pregnancy in November 2021.

Based on the sweet batch of birthday photos posted to her story, it appeared that Maralee made sure that each and every detail of her son’s milestone was flawless and memorable.
