Renowned for his exceptional skills on the basketball court, NBA star Tristan Thompson has also frequently found himself in the headlines for reasons beyond his athletic prowess. His connection with the Kardashian family, particularly with Khloe Kardashian, has significantly boosted his visibility in the public eye. However, this exposure hasn’t always been positive, as evidenced by his involvement in a high-profile cheating scandal with Jordyn Woods, leaving Khloe Kardashian devastated.
A Love Story Turned Sour
Thompson and Khloe’s relationship, which began in 2016, seemed like something out of a romantic film. The couple, introduced by a mutual friend, quickly became a favorite among fans who eagerly followed their blossoming romance. However, the fairy tale took a dark turn as Thompson’s multiple infidelity incidents began to overshadow their love story. The most shocking of these was his involvement with Jordyn Woods, a revelation that rocked the fanbase in February 2019.
Larsa Pippen, feeling betrayed by the Kardashians, was the first to disclose this news to the family. Kim Kardashian, upon learning of the affair, discovered that Thompson was unreachable at the time, as he was in transit. The truth came crashing down when Thompson admitted to cheating on Khloe with Woods, leading to their eventual split.
