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.

Keep reading to learn more about Tristan’s three brothers below.

Amari Thompson

Tristan was born on March 13, 1991, to his mother Andrea and his father Trevor Thompson. Along with the pro basketball player, the parents went on to welcome three other children, including his brother, Amari, 16. Tristan has been very public about his love for his youngest sibling, as the teen suffers from epilepsy, according to The US Sun. In 2014, the athlete founded The Amari Thompson Foundation to honor his sibling and show his support for others battling the health condition.

After starting the organization, Tristan and Andrea released a video, via YouTube, to express their reasoning for starting the foundation. Along with the late mom-of-four and Tristan, Amari also appeared in the 2014 clip. “I began the Amari Thompson Foundation for epilepsy awareness on behalf of my brother. Watch the video for more info,” Tristan captioned the tweet of the clip in Aug. 2014.

Later, in March 2022, Tristan revealed how Amari inspires him during an interview with NBC Sports. “My younger brother fights each and every day,” he said at the time. “Most 16-year-olds can enjoy life and have the freedom and be able to experience things with their peers. It’s harder for him.” He went on to explain how Amari is a major motivator in his life. “He motives me. Why not keep working each day? There’s no reason for me not to get up and push to be not only a better basketball player but a better human being,” he concluded.

Dishawn Thompson

Along with Amari, Tristan is a big brother to Dishawn Thompson, 28. Tristan is not the only basketball player in the family either, as Dishawn once was an aspiring ball player too, according to In Touch Weekly. Khloe’s ex even took to Instagram in Sept. 2012 to share a throwback snapshot (see above) of him and Dishawn along with the caption, “#Tbt Me and my little bro @realdishawn10. Y’all see my neck game was on point. #pause.”

The former Pacers player opened up about being a father-figure to his siblings during a 2016 interview with his former team, The Cavaliers. “I’m like the big daddy with all of them!”, he said at the time. “I have to make sure I hold them accountable. If my mom texts me and lets me know if they’re acting up, I’m going to shoot them a text, because I know what they’re weaknesses are. So they either get in line or there’s gonna be repercussions.”

Daniel Thompson

Finally, Tristan’s other sibling is his brother, Daniel, who is around 18 years old. Although there is not much publicly known about Daniel, according to the Cavaliers website, he also was a basketball star on the rise. The outlet reported that in 2015, the teen won won the U-11 Championship back in Canada and made his family proud. Tristan shared a family snapshot that included his mom and all three of his brothers in May 2014 to celebrate Dishawn’s birthday. “Happy 19th birthday to my little brother @realdishawn10 .. Feels like just yesterday you were running around the house in your diapers watching cartoons. Time flies fast and you’re growing up quick. Keep working hard bro, love you. #iammybrotherskeeper,” he captioned the post, which is one of the rare posts that includes Daniel (see above).
