Jordan Craig And Tristan Thompson
Jordan Craig began dating Tristan Thompson in 2014, with a romantic trip to Paris hinting at their relationship. The pair stayed together for almost two years, resulting in the birth of Prince Oliver Thompson. The pro-athlete’s infidelities were allegedly revealed in court documents, particularly in the case of her filing for a $40k per month child support claim. “Tristan insisted he would change for our family, and tried to get back together on numerous occasions," she detailed in the court papers.
Furthermore, she added that his repetitive cheating led her to break things off for the last time. The documents also purportedly reveal that she uncovered his affairs a month after finding out about her pregnancy with his child. There has been no direct confirmation from Jordy on this story, but the timelines do not refute her claim. Thompson was first spotted publicly with Khloé two months before Craig gave birth. Khloé and Tristan were seen cozying up on Labor Day of the same year on a Mexican getaway trip. Before that, they were spotted in a club in L.A.
