Since 2016, he and Kardashian have been in an on-again, off-again romance. True was born in 2018. Prince, Thompson’s 5-year-old son with ex Jordan Craig, is also his child.
At the time, the Chicago Bulls player wrote to the Kardashian family star to express his regret “You don’t deserve this, Khloé. You don’t deserve the suffering and embarrassment I’ve put you through. The way I’ve treated you throughout the years is not something you deserve. Clearly, my behavior hasn’t matched how I feel about you. I love and respect you more than anything. Despite what you might believe. Again, I apologize profusely.”
