Khloé Kardashian said she issued a “little ultimatum” that led Tristan Thompson to undergo a vasectomy to prevent additional children with other women, the former couple revealed Thursday on her podcast “Khloé in Wonder Land.”
During the episode, Thompson, 35, said he already has “enough baby moms” and does not want more children outside his prior relationship with Kardashian. He noted that any future children would come from embryos the pair created, which he signed over to her.
Kardashian joked that she helped steer the decision. Thompson described himself as having been “a little hard-headed” at times but ultimately accepting what he called the right choice.

The discussion occurred against the backdrop of a well-documented history of cheating allegations and confirmed incidents involving Thompson during and after his relationship with Kardashian.
Confirmed Cheating Incidents and Admissions
Thompson has publicly addressed and taken responsibility for several instances of infidelity:
- Jordyn Woods scandal (2018–2019): Photographic and video evidence emerged in February 2019 showing Thompson and Jordyn Woods, then the best friend of Kylie Jenner, in an intimate situation at a party. The incident occurred while Thompson was with Kardashian and shortly after the birth of their daughter True. The scandal led to a public breakup. Thompson has apologized multiple times, including in conversations with the Kardashian family.
- Maralee Nichols affair (2021): Thompson engaged in a sexual relationship with personal trainer Maralee Nichols while reconciling with Kardashian. Nichols gave birth to their son in December 2021. In January 2022, Thompson confirmed via paternity test that he fathered the child and posted a public apology on Instagram, stating he took “full responsibility” for his actions and the “heartache and humiliation” caused.
- Broad admissions (2023): On an episode of “The Kardashians,” Thompson told Kourtney Kardashian that he feels “disgusted the next day” when he cheats. He described his behavior as the result of being “young and stupid,” poor decisions, and patterns from his upbringing. He said he has been in therapy and expressed regret for the pain caused to Kardashian and others.
Other Allegations
Additional cheating allegations have been reported over the years, though not all were confirmed by Thompson:
- Sydney Chase (2020–2021): Instagram model Sydney Chase claimed on the No Jumper podcast in April 2021 that she had multiple hookups with Thompson, including in January 2021 while he was with Kardashian. Thompson’s legal team sent cease-and-desist letters denying the claims and calling Chase a “liar.” She refused to retract her statements. No child resulted from the alleged relationship.
- Other reported flings: Tabloid and media reports have linked Thompson to various women during his on-and-off relationship with Kardashian, particularly around 2017–2018 and during reconciliation periods. Many of these remained unverified or were not publicly addressed in detail by Thompson.
Thompson has acknowledged a pattern of infidelity in his relationship with Kardashian, describing it as repeated poor choices rather than isolated incidents.
Women Thompson Has Fathered Children With
Thompson is the father of four children with three women:
- Jordan Craig (ex-girlfriend): Son Prince Oliver Thompson (born December 2016).
- Khloé Kardashian: Daughter True Thompson (born April 2018) and son Tatum Thompson (born July 2022).
- Maralee Nichols: Son Theo Thompson (born December 2021).
During the podcast, Thompson said the mothers of his children are “all friends” and “make my life easy.” He indicated he plans to have honest conversations with his children about his past as they grow older.
Co-Parenting for the Greater Good
Kardashian has repeatedly stated that despite the repeated betrayals, she focuses on co-parenting maturely for the sake of True and Tatum. She has described putting personal hurt aside and showing her children that their parents can coexist respectfully — framing it as doing what is best “for the greater good” of the family.

Thompson has echoed a desire to move forward responsibly while acknowledging the lasting impact of his actions.
The Thursday podcast offered one of the most direct public conversations between the exes about the vasectomy decision, the history of infidelity, and their current dynamic as parents.
Thompson, a veteran NBA player, and Kardashian have not been romantically involved for several years but continue to co-parent their two children.
