Tristan Thompson affectionately kisses daughter True on the cheek as she proudly wears his jersey

Tristan Thompson shared a trio of snaps featuring his daughter True to his Instagram account on Sunday as she proudly wore his Chicago Bulls jersey.

In the shots, the 31-year-old free agent basketball player, who shares his child, aged four, with Khloe Kardashian, affectionately held her and kissed her on the cheek.

The athlete, who may have been the subject of a recent cryptic post shared by his former partner, added a short message in his post's caption that read: 'Jersey day is my favorite day of the school year.'

Thompson opted for a nearly all-black outfit that consisted of a half-zip jacket and a pair of leggings.

The media personality finished off his look for the day with a pair of Nike sneakers and stark white socks.

The professional basketball player's daughter wore a jersey bearing the colors of the Chicago Bulls, to whom he is currently signed.

Thompson and Kardashian, 38, were initially linked in 2016, and they maintained an on-again-off-again relationship over the next few years.

The athlete was previously in a relationship with Jordan Craig, with whom he shares a son named Prince, aged six. 

It was revealed that the pair were expecting to welcome a child into their lives two years later, and True was born that April.

The former couple resumed their rocky relationship that continued until 2021, when they went their separate ways for good.

That same year, the professional basketball player was named in a paternity lawsuit brought by trainer Maralee Nichols, who gave birth to his son Theo, aged one, last year. 

Last July, it was revealed that he and Kardashian had conceived another child via surrogacy.

The two welcomed their son, whose name has not been revealed publicly as of yet, in August.

Kardashian spoke about coparenting with Thompson during a conversation with Ellen DeGeneres, where she expressed via SheKnows that she found the process to be particularly difficult.

'I think it's one of the hardest things I think I've ever done, because you have your own personal feelings,' she said.

The reality television personality also remarked that she had to learn how to balance her own thoughts regarding Thompson's behavior and her concern for the wellbeing of her children. 

'When you can put those aside and just put your child first — I mean, it sounds great when you're all in love and everything — but when you go through something, it's such a challenge,' she said.

Kardashian did express, however, that all she wanted was to ensure that her son and daughter were raised well.

'You put your kids first, and it's hard sometimes, but it pays off. And they're happy, beautiful, flourishing children,' she said.
