Tristan Thompson Denies Cheating On Jordan Craig With Khloe Kardashian
NBA Cleveland Cavaliers baller Tristan Thompson has dominated the headlines over the past year, but unfortunately not for basketball and instead for infidelity scandals.
Now, the Canada native is speaking his truth.
Earlier this week, rumors suggested the 28-year-old not only reconciled with his first child’s mother, Jordan Craig, but they were vacationing together with their 2-year-old son, Prince.
The pair’s Instagram posts share a location that appeared similar, and was posted around the same time.
But Thompson is slamming the rumors of a reunion, tweeting that his focus is on his health and basketball.

He even defended his ex, Khloe Kardashian, after critics believed Kardashian knowingly began a relationship with Thompson while Craig was pregnant.
The tweets came two months after he posted a lengthy Instagram birthday shout-out to Khloe, calling her "the most beautiful human [he has] ever met inside and out.”

Thompson was involved in two high-profile cheating scandals, when he was initially accused of cheating on Khloe Kardashian days before she gave birth to their first child together, True Thompson, in April 2018.

Only 10 months later, the second rumor involved Kylie Jenner’s then best friend, Jordyn Woods, where he allegedly kissed Woods during his house party. Woods went on to speak about the details of that evening on Red Table Talk.
That scandal prompted Khloe to end her relationship with Thompson for good, but how the pair began dating continued to be a hot topic.
Critics blasted the Kardashian family for their alleged history of stealing other women’s significant others. In this case, Khloe was slammed for dating someone with a pregnant ex-girlfriend.
In a request for child support, Craig claimed Thompson cheated on her with Khloé while she was pregnant with their son in 2016.
Radar Online reports Craig was four months pregnant and still with the 2016 NBA champion when paparazzi photos of him and Khloe on a date went viral.
Craig even cited that the stress and humiliation caused extreme pregnancy complications, resulting in bed rest.
In a series of Instagram stories, Khloé claimed she and Thompson were set up by a mutual friend on a blind date. According to Kardashian, Thompson told her his ex-girlfriend was pregnant after meeting up a few times.
Earlier this summer, Thompson and Kardashian's split played out on Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
Despite raw emotions being rehashed on the reality show, Kardashian told ET she doesn't want fans to bash her ex or Woods.
"I personally don't watch it back because... I already know what happens and it's just a little too toxic for me to keep reliving stuff like that, so I stay off social [media]," she said. "I didn't watch it. And it's just a part of our job that we kind of have to do, so we can't just pick and choose what we want to show. That's not fair. And so it's just what it is… Bashing either side is not cool for me.”
Us Weekly reports the basketball player recently purchased a $6.5 million dollar mansion in Encino, California, a 25-minute drive from Khloe’s home.
The 2019-2020 NBA season will tip off Oct. 22, 2019.
