PREMIUM EXCLUSIVE: Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson take daughter True to sister Kim's Paw Patrol premiere as rumors continue about them rekindling their romance. The on-off couple looked happy and relaxed as they joined members of the Kardashian clan for the private screening. Khloe and pro basketball player Tristan were first linked in 2016 when they were spotted spending time together at a nightclub, and they later took a vacation in Mexico. The two confirmed that they were dating that same year and remained very close through much of 2017. The reality television personality eventually confirmed that she was pregnant with the athlete's child that December through a post made to her Instagram account. Kardashian revealed that she was expecting a girl during an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians that aired the following year. In 2018, it was reported that Thompson was spotted kissing multiple women in several locations, which surprised the clothing designer. That year, she gave birth to True, and the parents later reconciled following the child's birth. Although the two appeared to be going strong in their new roles as parents, the basketball player, just traded to the Sacramento Kings in California, was later caught cheating with several other women, and the two split up in February of 2019. The pair appeared to mend their relationship over the course of that year and were reportedly on good terms by the beginning of 2020. The parents quarantined together during the early stages of the pandemic, and their romance was eventually resumed last August. Earlier this year, it was reported that the couple was planning on expanding their family in the future, although no solid plans have been revealed as of yet. This past June, it was revealed that Kardashian and Thompson had separated, although they were said to still be on good terms at the time of their split. 12 Aug 2021 Pictured: Tristan Thompson, Khloe Kardashian and daughter True.

Kris Jenner mourned Tristan Thompson’s mother Andrea after her fatal heart attack. “I am so heartbroken by the sudden passing of Tristan’s mom, Andrea,” the 66-year-old mother of Khloe Kardashian began in the tribute for the mother of her daughter’s ex-boyfriend, and father of her grandchildren True, 4, and a baby boy born in August.

“My thoughts, prayers and all of my love are with Tristan, Amari, Dishawn and Daniel,” she added, referencing Tristan’s siblings who live in Toronto, Canada. “You were the most amazing, dedicated, devoted, and selfless mom and such a loving, kind, and fabulous grandmother. What a blessing you were to your family!!! I will miss you Andrea. I will miss your bright spirit and amazing light,” she also said.

“Thank you for always praying for us and lifting us up and encouraging us along the way. Rest in peace beautiful angel @realtristan13,” she signed off on the tribute.

The post comes shortly after news broke that Tristan’s mother had passed away from a heart attack. Andrea was rushed to a Toronto hospital, however, medical staff were unable to revive her. At the time of publishing, Tristan has yet to issue a statement — however, his rep confirmed her passing via email to HollywoodLife.

The NBA star was also seen arriving in his hometown of Toronto, Ontario with ex Khloe on Jan. 6. The pair arrived via private plane and were photographed descending down the stairs to a border patrol vehicle to seemingly be processed through customs. Although the pair have not been romantically involved since Dec. 2021 when news emerged about Tristan’s affair and fathering another child with Maralee Nichols — all while expecting a second child via surrogate with Khloe — sources told TMZ that Khloe went with Tristan to “comfort him” in a “difficult time of need.”
