"Lunch date with my Prince," he captioned some selfies at the time.

Though the extent of Thompson’s relationship with Theo is unclear, the basketball player infamously cheated on Kardashian leading to Nichols’ pregnancy. During this same time, Kardashian and Thompson were gearing up to welcome Tatum via surrogacy.

At first, Thompson tried to deny that the child was his, however, it was later confirmed via a paternity test. Following the news, Thompson penned an apology to Kardashian.

"Khloé, you don’t deserve this. 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 certainly have not lined up with the way I view you," he wrote at the time. "I have the utmost respect and love for you. Regardless of what you may think. Again, I am so incredibly sorry."
