Tristan Thompson Shares When He’ll Tell His, Khloe Kardashian’s Kids About His Infidelity

But the basketball player—who welcomed son Theo, 4, with Maralee Nichols following a paternity scandal documented on The Kardashians—was confident.

“I always tell people,” Tristan, also dad to Prince with ex Jordan Craig, continued, “I think it’s the right person, wrong time. And I mean, like maybe it’s a cliche to thing, but I think it’s true.”

The now-35-year-old added, “We’ve had that conversation, but if I was the age I am now, or even a couple years before, would our world look different? Probably so.”

And though he affirmed his belief that everything happens for a reason, Tristan also noted you “never know” how life may turn out—leaving the door open with a cheeky smile to Khloe.

To which she responded, “No, I think we know. I think we know.”
