HOUSTON, TX. (THECOUNT) — NBA star, Tristan Thompson, of the Sacramento Kings is officially a father of three, the baller announced on Monday.
Thompson, 30, revealed he’s the father of a baby boy recently born to a woman from Houston. The boy was confirmed to be his as a result of a paternity test, Thompson said.

He went on to apologize to his former girlfriend and mother of his child, Khloe Kardashian.
The NBA star posted Monday, saying:
“I take full responsibility for my actions. Now that paternity has been established, I look forward to amicably raising our son. I sincerely apologize to everyone I’ve hurt or disappointed throughout this ordeal both publicly and privately,” reports TMZ.
He then turns his attention to Khloe, with who he has daughter True, saying:
“You don’t deserve the heartache and humiliation I have caused you. You don’t deserve the way I have treated you over the years. My actions have certainly not lined up with the way I view you.”
He continues, “I have the utmost respect and love for you. Regardless of what you may think. Again, I am so incredibly sorry.” Khloe and Tristan split in the summer.
It’s Tristan’s third known child. He was still publicly with Khloe when they hooked up back in March, wrote TMZ.
It’s an about-face for Tristan … as we reported, he and Maralee have been duking it out in court over the paternity of the baby boy. As we told you … Maralee sued Tristan for child support and claims he tried to pay her $75,000 to keep quiet about the baby.
Tristan’s alleged messages claimed he’s retiring after this NBA season, making him unemployed — and, at least according to him — requiring him to pay a smaller amount in child support.
TT asked a judge just last month for an emergency gag order to silence Maralee talking about the paternity case.
