Corey Gamble has publicly shown his support for Tristan Thompson amid his paternity scandal.
The 41-year-old, who is dating Khloe Kardashian’s mom Kris Jenner, attended the Sacramento Kings’ game against the Los Angeles Lakers at the Crypto.com Arena in LA on Tuesday.
In video footage obtained by E! News, Corey was seen holding up Tristan’s No. 13 Sacramento Kings jersey to the paparazzi as he made his way to his car after the game.
The sighting came just hours after Tristan publicly apologised to his on-off girlfriend Khloe for causing her “heartache and humiliation”, after confirming he fathered a child with another woman.
The NBA star wrote on his Instagram Stories: “Today, paternity test results revealed that I fathered a child with Maralee Nichols. I take full responsibility for my actions. Now that paternity has been established I look forward to amicably raising our son.”
“I sincerely apologise to everyone I’ve hurt or disappointed throughout this ordeal both publicly and privately.”
Addressing his ex-girlfriend directly, Tristan wrote: “Khloe, you don’t deserve the heartache and humiliation my actions 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.”
“I have the utmost respect and love for you. Regardless of what you may think. Again, I am so incredibly sorry,” he added.
Khloe and Tristan first started dating back in 2016, but their relationship hit the rocks when the NBA star was accused of cheating – just days before Khloe gave birth to their daughter True in April 2018.
The reality star controversially decided to stand by Tristan, but less than one year later, he was caught kissing family friend Jordyn Woods at a house party in February 2019.
Khloe dumped the basketball player for good, but she decided to give their relationship another chance in 2020 – after they grew close during lockdown.
The couple split once again last summer, around the time personal trainer Maralee Nichols launched a paternity suit against Tristan.
The fitness model sued the NBA player for child support, after insisting he was the father of her baby boy, who was born on December 1st, 2021.
While he admitted to having sex with Maralee, the sports star questioned whether he was really the father of her baby and requested a paternity test – which proved he is in fact the father.
