For starters, the NBA veteran has 4 children from 3 different ladies. 

• In 2023, his ex-Jordan Craig, mother to his baby Prince (born in 2016), filed a lawsuit regarding child support. Thompson pays her a monthly child allowance of $40,000 (a lump sum of $200,000). Since he was suspended from the NBA, which led to a financial loss, Craig wanted to ensure that the child support continued. Though the details have not been made public, assuredly, Thompson will lose some money in this process. 
• After breaking up with Jordan, Thompson started seeing Khloe Kardashian. The couple welcomed a daughter in 2018, True. In 2019, they split and Thompson accorded child support to Khloe. After that in 2022, the couple confirmed, after a brief reunion and split, that they were expecting a child via surrogacy. The son, Tatum was born in 2022. 
• During Khloe’s pregnancy, Tristan cheated on her with his trainer Maralee Nichols. Though he initially denied it, but later accepted the paternity of his love child.
