Kim Kardashian made a rare move on Monday evening.
The 42-year-old reality TV star posted to her Insta Stories a photo of a beaming Tristan Thompson as he was on court for his team the Los Angeles Lakers in downtown Los Angeles.
The SKIMS founder, who attended the game with mom Kris Jenner, wrote an encouraging note over the image which read, ‘YESSSSS GOOOOO LAKERS.’ In the past, she has been critical of Tristan.
Soon after, however, the ex-wife of Kanye West removed the post for an unknown reason.
Still, this post is another sign that Thompson has been welcomed back into the Kardashian/Jenner family after he cheated on Khloe Kardashian, 38, multiples times, even fathering another child while their surrogate was carrying their second baby.
And this could signal that the 32-year-old athlete – who lives two houses away from Khloe in Hidden Hills, California – is back together with the Good American designer once again.

Mama bear: Also at the game was Kim’s mom Kris Jenner, right. It was Game 4 of an NBA basketball Western Conference semifinal between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors
Together Khloe and Tristan share two children: daughter True, aged five, as well as a son who is reportedly named Tatum.
Khloe has also shown support for Tristan as he joined the Lakers, adding a ‘like’ to a photo of him in the Lakers jersey on Instagram. Khloe’s brother Rob Kardashian hit the like button too.
And Tristan has liked some of Khloe’s sexier bikini Instagram pinup shots this year.
On Monday Kim wore a I Love Nerds crop top with ripped, acid-washed light blue denim jeans and strappy high heels as well as bold jewelry and her hair slicked back as she took in the game. She was courtside with her pink Hermes purse tucked under her chair.
The Keeping Up with The Kardashians veteran was with pal Sarah Staudinger who had on a brown strapless top with matching slacks and brown boots.
Also there was Kim’s mother Kris Jenner who wore a black leather jacket.
It was a playoff basketball game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors at Crypto.com Arena on May 8, 2023 in Los Angeles.
Tristan was in his purple uniform and looked every inch a true Laker, even though he did not get any time on court.
They have a tangled past: Khloe and Tristan have been on and off for over six years; seen in 2018 when she was pregnant with True
She likes him! Khloe has also shown support for Tristan as he joined the Lakers, adding a ‘like’ to a photo of him in the Lakers jersey on Instagram. Khloe’s broth
Khloe did not attend the game.
Khloe and Tristan have gotten closer this year.
Thompson now lives in Los Angeles as he is playing with the Los Angeles Lakers, so they are spending more time together.
‘Khloe is supportive of Tristan joining the L.A. Lakers. She wants him to have a career,’ a source told People.
‘Having Tristan on the road again concerns Khloe. This is when all the cheating happened in the past.’
And he has also pulled closer to Khloe because his family is getting smaller. His mother Andrea Thompson died in January 2023 in Toronto, Canada. Khloe attended her funeral and wrote a sweet tribute on social media for Andrea.
She loves that he is a good daddy: Khloe has said that he is there for their daughter True
And he is there for their son too: Khloe seen holding their son, who is reportedly named Tatum
‘Khloe and Tristan became very close again after his mom [Andrea] passed away,’ the insider said.
‘They celebrated Easter together with their kids and her family.’
And because he is such a great father to their two children it ‘makes it harder to completely shut the door on anything romantic,’ added the source.
On his birthday, Khloe shared a sweet post for him saying he was the ‘best father.’
According to the second source, Thompson is ‘doing everything he can again to try and prove himself — not just to Khloe, but to the whole family. He’s also grown closer to Kris [Jenner] after losing his own mom.’
He first was busted for cheating just before Khloe welcomed True but she took him back. While pregnant with their second child via surrogate, Thompson confirmed he had fathered a son named Theo with Maralee Nichols. He then publicly apologized by saying, ‘Khloe, you don’t deserve this.’
In addition to Theo, Thompson also shares a six-year-old son, Prince, with ex-girlfriend Jordan Craig.
