Tristan Thompson Seen in LA with Kim Kardashian Look-Alike; Fans React: ‘He Has a Type’

Tristan Thompson captured significant online attention this week as he was observed having a candlelit dinner in Los Angeles with a woman bearing a striking resemblance to Kim Kardashian.

The Cleveland Cavaliers player, father to daughter True, 6, and son Tatum, 2, with his ex-girlfriend Khloé Kardashian, sister of Kim, ended his relationship with the Good American founder in 2021 following a turbulent period marred by his unfaithfulness.

His recent dinner took place at the well-known restaurant Giorgio Baldi, with paparazzi photos published by The Daily Mail documenting the event. Observers noted the uncanny resemblance between Tristan’s date and Kim, particularly given her attire—a form-fitting black dress reminiscent of the SKIMS founder’s style.

Additionally, the woman carried a sparkling, diamond-adorned Chanel bag and wore her long, raven hair in a sleek, straight manner, further fueling comparisons to the SKKN mogul among fans discussing the sighting on Reddit, as highlighted in a recent thread. Tristan and Khloé’s on-again, off-again romance spanned from 2016 to 2021, marred by his recurrent infidelities.

In the previously mentioned thread, fans started circulating paparazzi photos of Tristan and the unidentified woman during their date, along with their thoughts and reactions. “Trashcan definitely has a type…yikes,” one wrote as another added: “At this point I don’t care who he spends time with, who he hooks up with or who he takes out on dates. Long as he sets Khloé free and lets her move on!!!”

In 2018, mere days after the birth of Tristan and Khloé’s daughter True, The Daily Mail reported that Tristan was having an affair with strip club bartender Lani Blair. Although he and Khloé stayed together for a while longer after that, their relationship ultimately unraveled in 2019 following a scandalous kiss between Tristan and Jordyn Woods, Kylie Jenner‘s best friend at the time.

When the coronavirus lockdowns took effect in 2020, the athlete and his reality star ex decided to cohabitate to stay close to their daughter. This decision led to an unexpected revival of their romantic relationship. Whispers of their most recent breakup began to spread in June 2021, with Tristan vehemently denying a flurry of allegations questioning his loyalty.

In early 2022, it was formally verified that Tristan had fathered a child with fitness model Maralee Nichols. The NBA star confirmed the paternity test results, which he had requested, through an Instagram Story. He also extended a deeply sincere apology to Khloé, his partner when the child was conceived.

On The Kardashians, Khloé memorably slammed Tristan for “humiliating” her and subjecting her to yet another public scandal. Nevertheless, in the current day, their relationship appears to be cordial as they collaboratively raise their children, a dynamic frequently showcased on social media.
