Tristan Thompson has been hitting the headlines again – and this time, it isn’t because of cheating allegations, it’s actually because of his children!
The 33-year-old basketball player recently came under fire for sharing some posts on Instagram for his daughter True Thompson‘s first day of school, as well as for his son Tatum’s second birthday. He shares True, 6, and Tatum, 2, with ex Khloé Kardashian, who social media previously accused him of favoring due to their famous mom.
Perhaps after learning of the criticism, the Cleveland Cavaliers player then posted some pictures of his son Prince, 7, who he shares with ex Jordan Craig, which seemed to get a lot of positive reactions. However, some fans did still accuse him of not treating all of his children equally, as he seldom mentions his son Theo, 2, who he shares with personal trainer Maralee Nichols. (If you’ll recall, Tristan cheated on Khloé with Maralee while celebrating his 30th birthday.)

Tristan Thompson Shares Pictures Of Son Prince On Instagram
On September 7th, the NBA star shared a post containing two pictures of himself posing with his son Prince, which got a lot of positive feedback from fans.
“Proud of you Tris,” praised one fan, followed by three red heart emojis. “Proud of you. It’s never too late to be present,” gushed a second, as a third exclaimed: “Glad you are sticking by your duties!” “He is such a handsome little boy. Boy dads rock,” complimented another.
However, some other fans didn’t think that Tristan was actually doing enough for his children, with someone asking: “So posing for an occasional picture makes him a good father?” Replying to that comment, one fan said, “He is fully involved with him and the younger two by Khloé. That boy is always at Khloé’s house,” which does of course suggest that he doesn’t see his and Maralee Nichols’ son Theo, which some fans referenced in the comments section.
“Ok but what your last baby?” asked one fan, in reference to Theo. “He told that woman he wasn’t going to be involved, that was HER choice to be a single mom. Go away,” replied one fan, as another added: “No he didn’t he wanted to pay her to get an abortion. Her body her choice and kept him she can explain her logic to him when the time comes. Y’all are weird.”

Tristan Thompson Slammed After He Posts Pictures Of The Children He Shares With Khloé Kardashian: ‘No Child Deserves To Be Ignored’
On August 27th, Tristan shared some pictures of True’s first day of first grade, which also had mixed reactions from fans.
“Your other kid had to change schools because you stopped paying the fees,” slammed one fan, to which one replied: “Then the mom should pay his fees TF? He’s not meant to be the only one paying for things. And if I was a single mom to a guy who told me he didn’t want that child, why would I sulk around waiting for him? Get a bag and move on!”
“You’ll reap what you sow Tristan… no child deserves to be ignored because he wasn’t planned or he wasn’t born into a Kardashian,” criticized another fan. “Imagine if he showed up for his other boys? That’s what being a good dad is all about not just showing up for these two,” wrote another, adding: “My bonus daughter is included in everything! Why can’t the other boys? Just in general be included.”
