TRISTAN Thompson has given up on trying to win Khloe Kardashian back after his numerous cheating scandals and is now putting himself out there, The U.S. Sun can report.
The father of four, who turns 34 on March 13, is “dating” again, a source claimed.
Until Tristan returned to Cleveland to play for the Cavaliers again in 2023, he was still “all about” Khloe, 40, and being a family with their kids True, 6, and Tatum, 2, the source said.
“He even proposed to her a few times,” the insider claimed.
But in the past year, the relationship shifted.
“Tristan started saying to Khloe, ‘Well, I asked you to marry me, you turned me down, and you made it very clear publicly that you’re single. So it’s time I start putting myself first.'”
Tristan’s recent dates have remained out of the public eye, and that’s by design.
“Kris made it very clear that his dating life should not make any headlines,” the source said, referring to Khloe’s momager, Kris Jenner.
FINAL STRAW
After years of cheating rumors, Khloe officially ended her longtime romance with Tristan in late 2021- when news broke that fitness model Maralee Nichols was expecting his baby.
At the time, a surrogate was pregnant with Khloe and Tristan’s baby boy.
“Everything is a lie. Everything is manipulation. It’s deceit. Did Tristan have every opportunity to tell me? Yes. Was Tristan going to tell me if there wasn’t a baby involved? Absolutely not, and that shows a lot about his character,” Khloe said on The Kardashians at the time.
Tristan confessed to fathering Maralee’s son Theo, and publicly apologized to Khloe.
“Khloe, you don’t deserve this. You don’t deserve the heartache and humiliation I have caused you. You don’t deserve the way I have treated you over the years,” Tristan groveled.
Maralee gave birth to Theo in December 2021, and Khloe and Tristan welcomed Tatum via surrogate in July 2022.
It was too little, too late, though Khloe became close to Tristan after the scandal blew over, and he even temporarily lived with her at one point as his home underwent renovations.
Tristan has reportedly never met Theo, but pays Maralee child support.
He also has son Prince, 8, with ex Jordan Craig, and paid off his $224k back child support to her this past December.
