Tristan Thompson is usually always in the limelight, but not always for good. The NBA player is mostly a magnet for the worst kind of drama usually consisting of thoughtless flings, cheating scandals, and of course paternity issues. The player was not very famous back in his Sacramento Kings days and later had joined the NBA in 2011. Of course, it was when he started dating the Kardashian sister, Khloe Kardashian that he received the immense fame that would then allow him to date celebs, supermodels and others. 

What once again brought Tristan Thompson into the limelight was his relationship with Jordan Craig. The topic instantly became an internet sensation as the rumor of their relationship took flight in September 2016, especially because just then he was thought to have paired up with Khloe Kardashian. Of course, Tristan tried to downplay things and said that he already called it quits to his relationship with Jordan before he started his new romance with Kardashian. 

Unfortunately, what did not back up his claims was the very inconvenient timing of Jordan getting pregnant. People started questioning his claims about ending things with his past fling. Eventually, his son Prince was born in December 2016. Things took an even darker turn when the NBS star's former girlfriend told that the breakup with Tristan and his romance with Khloe Kardashian during the pregnancy caused her pain.  

But that is not the end of it. Apparently, according to Jordan and the papers she presented in court in November 2018, the lady accused Thompson of paying her $112,000 to not get together with other men. However, he was already together with the Keeping Up with the Kardashians by that time. Again, this led people to think about when the couple actually started their very public relationship. 

In fact, a source had shared with Us weekly in June 2019 that initially, Jordan did not even know that Thomson had already started seeing someone else. The source said, “Jordan does question the timing of Khloé’s very public timeline of events during that time, in which she insisted that she was unaware that Tristan had dumped her for Khloé.”

The Kardashian also vehemently denied being with Thomspon during the time the player was seeing Jordan Crag. Of course, the other very famous cheating scandal involving the star had to be when he was involved with Jordyn Woods, especially when he was still very much together with Khloe Kardashian. The February 2019 scandal took the internet by storm, resulting in Khloe calling things off publicly. The couple, who became parents to their daughter, True, famously reconnected in August 2020. And then again, their final breakup as of now is to be in June 2021. 

But leaving these three ladies aside, Thomson is involved in many other parenting accusations where he is accused of fathering children with several women. Just recently, Us Weekly revealed that Maralee Nichols has given birth to a baby, and she states that Tristan Thompson is the father of the child. Thompson has admitted that he indeed did sleep with the trainer and the two were together many times during his 30th birthday celebration. Still, the player has demanded that there be a genetic test to affirm if he actually is the father of the child. 

Here is a complete timeline of his many infamous flings and scandals:

December 2016

Thompson shared that he had broken up with his girlfriend Craig just months before their son Prince was born. The athlete went to start a new fling with Khloe Kardashian, and three months later, Thompson's first child, Prince was born. 

April 2018

Probably the biggest scandal to encircle the star, several women accused Tristan Thompson of flirting and even sleeping with them while he was still together with the Kardashian, and she was pregnant with the couple's daughter, True. The internet was soon flooded with his cheating pictures, where the player was seen kissing an unknown woman at a New York City Club. Another shocking footage was then uploaded by TMZ where the basketball player was seen crazily making out with two women in a bar in Washington, D.C. in October 2017. The scandal had yet not cooled down when Khloe Kardashian gave birth to their daughter, True. She decided to stay together with the father of her child. 

June 2018

Many people criticized the reality TV star for staying together with the man who cheated on her while she was pregnant and the star did not take the intrusion very kindly. She directly replied to a Twitter follower, “You have no knowledge of what goes on in our household or the enormous rebuilding this takes to even coexist. I’m proud of my strength. I appreciate your opinion and I hope you hold that same opinion to everyone else who has stayed in situations.”

November 2018

Again, the couple was just trying to settle their issues and get on together when Craig went on to accuse the NBA player of causing her stress during her pregnancy two years ago, in 2016. Craig claimed that Tristan was well aware of her condition and still got together with Khloe Kardashian just four months later from April 2016. The court documents revealed, “Their relationship went viral and everything took a turn for the worst. Every day several articles were published worldwide mocking my new unfortunate reality and my pregnancy would now become one of the most popular gossip headlines due to the woman Tristan was now publicly dating during my pregnancy.” 

Craig had filed the case to demand more child support and said that the very public new relationship of the star caused people to intrude on her and received “negative, unwanted attention and stress into my life, and more critically, into my pregnancy.” Craig claimed: “My obstetrician ordered me to be on bed rest due to high levels of stress that eventually caused me to have serious pregnancy complications.”

February 2019

What now is known as the worst of his flings, the February 2019 kiss of Tristan Thomson with Kylie Jenner's former Best Friend is truly what tipped the scale for Khloe Kardashian and made her end things with the player. The news came just ten months after the star was shown to be disloyal by the Revenge Bod host. Of course, Khloe Kardashian shared that she "feels so betrayed" by what Tristan had done.

The insider said, “This time it hurts even more because the person who it was with is someone who knows very much what Khloé has gone through in the past year. Jordyn is like part of the family.” The couple finally broke up but they tried co-parenting their daughter True together.
