Tristan Thompson ran into Corey Gamble, Kris Jenner’s longtime boyfriend, at the Los Angeles Lakers home game against the Minnesota Timberwolves on April 11 at the Crypto.com Arena.
During warm-ups, Khloe Kardashian’s ex Tristan gave the talent manager a big bear hug in an Instagram Story video posted to the account of LeBron James’ Uninterrupted brand. Corey, dressed in a satin yellow leisure suit to show off his Lakers pride, was seen reciprocating the affection by patting Tristan on the back.
Tristan’s first game with the Lakers came after he signed with the team over the weekend (a move Khloe supported by liking an Instagram post announcing the news). Though he was not called upon to play, the night was memorable as the 32-year-old’s team secured a playoff spot with a 108-102 victory over the Timberwolves.
Tristan and Corey were spotted together again after their big win, this time at Bird Streets Club in West Hollywood, Calif., for a late-night celebration.
Corey was not the first person to cheer for Tristan on the basketball court. When Tristan was playing for the Sacramento Kings in January 2022, the 42-year-old was in the stands to watch him take on the Los Angeles Lakers during a visiting game.
Corey proudly held up Tristan’s No. 13 jersey to the paparazzi as he exited the arena, despite the fact that the match came just days after Tristan—who shares daughter True, 5, and an 8-month-old son with Khloe—confirmed he had fathered a baby boy with Maralee Nichols.
But how does Tristan feel about Khloe? According to a source close to the former couple, they are still focused on co-parenting and “coordinating for the kids.”
That appeared to be the case last month when Khloe referred to Tristan as the “best father, brother, and uncle” in a birthday tribute to the NBA player.
“Your love, attention, silly dances, hugs, carpool rides, bedtime rituals, the way you show up for them,” the 38-year-old captioned a photo on Instagram. “All of the above means more than you’ll ever know to your family of littles.”
