Tristan Thompson was seen in an Instagram post posed with his six-year-old son Prince on Wednesday, a day after his ex-girlfriend Khloe Kardashian took to the site with a cryptic post for Valentine’s Day.
‘A Young King in the making, My Prince,’ the 31-year-old Canada native captioned the post, which featured a trio of pictures.
Thompson, who last played in the NBA for the Chicago Bulls, posed outside with his son in front of a wooden frame inscribed with the message ‘Be Kind Be Safe Be responsible’ with a large bell hanging from it.
Thompson, who has past played for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Celtics and Sacramento Kings, donned an all-black ensemble of a knit cap with a button-up shirt and pants, paired with white sneakers.
Prince, whose mother is Thompson’s ex Jordan Craig, beamed as he held a bouquet of roses on what appeared to be Valentine’s Day. He was clad in a maroon T-shirt with black pants and white sneakers.

Thompson’s post came a day after Kardashian – who shares two children with the professional athlete – posted a quote that read: ‘Not to spoil the ending for you, but the pure hearted win in the end, remember that.’
Thompson and trainer Maralee Nichols in December came to a legal agreement on child support arrangements for their son Theo, one.
The professional athlete agreed to pay Nichols $9,500 monthly for the child, who she will have sole custody of, ET reported.
Thompson has not been pictured with his younger son in public or on social media, though a part of the child support settlement mandated a visitation schedule, to be set at a later date.
Thompson has often featured shots of his older children on the social media site, where he has 3.8 million followers.
The NBA professional 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 free agent basketball player, who shares his child, aged four, with Khloe, affectionately held her and kissed her on the cheek.
He added a short message in his post’s caption that read: ‘Jersey day is my favorite day of the school year.’

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