‘Khloe is incredibly grateful to the extraordinary surrogate for such a beautiful blessing. We’d like to ask for kindness and privacy so that Khloe can focus on her family.’

Just seven months ago, Tristan was in the midst of a paternity scandal after DailyMai.com exclusively revealed that he’d fathered a child with fitness model Maralee Nichols.
He’d conceived the child in March 2021 while still in a relationship with baby mama Khloe.
Nichols gave birth to their son, named Theo, on December 1, though Tristan publicly denied the child was his.
It was not until January 2022 that the Chicago Bulls star admitted that Theo was his, while publicly apologizing to Khloe for his repeated philandering.

Despite acknowledging Theo is in fact his son, Tristan has yet to meet the newborn.
He also shares a now five-year-old son with model ex Jordan Craig, who was pregnant at the time he began dating Khloe in 2016.
Tristan and Khloe have had a tumultuous relationship since they first started dating in 2016, with the athlete having cheated on the reality star multiple times.
In 2018, Dailymail.com revealed Tristan had cheated on the then-pregnant Khloe with a strip club worker from New York City named Lani Blair. They welcomed daughter True on April 14, 2018.
At the time, other outlets reported additional women; however despite the cheating scandal, Khloe remained with Tristan until she when she split with the athlete in February 2019.
In February 2019, Tristan kissed Jordyn Woods after a house party, which was his second cheating scandal.
It is interesting to note that Jordyn was primarily blamed by the Kardashian family publicly on social media and on KUWTK, with Tristan and his behavior seemingly overlooked. She was 21 at the time while Tristan was 27 and Khloe was 34.
Despite the turmoil, Tristan and Khloe rekindled their romance during the COVID-19 pandemic as they went into lockdown together in March 2020 with their daughter.
It was reported in June 2021 that Khloe and Tristan broken up for the second time.
That same month, DailyMail.com exclusively revealed how Tristan disappeared into a bedroom with three women at a house party in Bel Air over the weekend. Lawyers for Thompson denied the claims.
It was revealed this past January that Tristan had declared his love for Khloe on Instagram in March 2021 just hours before meeting up with Nichols.
Nichols previously claimed their secret child had been conceived while celebrating the NBA pro’s birthday in Houston that month.
