Well, Tristan Thompson has apparently done it again...

Reports have surfaced that the professional basketball player allegedly cheated on his on-again-off-again girlfriend, Khloé Kardashian, with whom he shares three-year-old daughter, True.

They have since called it quits, per US Weekly — though neither party has yet commented on the split nor the allegations against the athlete. The breakup, apparently, has nothing to do with the rumours of infidelity.

Kardashian-Jenner drama, it seems, never ends — but if you want a more thorough recap on Khloé and Tristan's relationship breakdown, we've got you covered...

April 2018 — Accusations of infidelity break

In April of 2018, TMZ reported cheating allegations against Tristan.

The NBA player appeared to kiss another woman at a New York City club in photos and a video obtained by the publication. Khloé was nine months pregnant with True at the time.

Later the same day, TMZ released footage of him kissing and touching two other women at a bar in Washington, D.C, in October of 2017.

The reality television star did not issue any comment immediately, but she welcomed the couple's child just three days later, on April 12th, 2018, at a hospital in Cleveland, Ohio.

Per a US Weekly source, the new mother was "shell-shocked and beside herself."

May 2018 — Khloé claps back on Twitter

Khloé appeared to dismiss the accusations, with a source telling US Weekly in May of 2018 that the pair were "fully back on".

She later broke her social media silence on the matter. "You have no knowledge of what goes on in our household or the enormous rebuilding this takes to even coexist," she replied to an enquiring fan on Twitter. "I’m proud of my strength. I appreciate your opinion and I hope you hold that same opinion to everyone else who has stayed in that situation."

November 2018 — The couple relive the cheating scandal on air

In the November 2018 episodes of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, the family was forced to address the cheating scandal.

Khloé called Tristan a "piece of sh*t" during one episode, and took to Twitter to double down when the episode aired.

"I was definitely and completely in shock … I can’t believe I had to deal with this disgusting crap still in the hospital room!" she wrote.

However, she defended her decision to allow him in her hospital room for True's birth: "Regardless of what Tristan did to me, I was never going to take that moment away from True or Tristan.

"She should not be punished for his actions. He is her father and they both deserve to love one another as deeply as They possibly can #KUWTK. [sic]"

TMZ reported in February of 2019 that the couple had split after he and Kylie's then-BFF Jordyn Woods were "all over each other" at a house party.

The mother-of-one allegedly found out several days later and called it quits.

Khloé's own BFF, Malika, seemingly confirmed the speculation several days later by commenting on an Instagram post from Hollywood Unlocked which said that the basketball player was "all over" and "touchy-feely" with Jordyn. "STRONG FACTS," she wrote.

The Kardashians all started unfollowing Tristan on social media, and Khloé broke her silence by taking to Twitter to write: "Hi loves, wanted you to know that I appreciate you! I’ve been reading your kind words and they really are a blessing to me. I love you! Thank you Thank you! I’ll be back when I’m in the mood to chat with you all. Until then remember to be kind to one another [sic]."

March 2019 — Khloé claps back at Jordyn and Tristan

Jordyn appeared on Jada Pinkett Smith's Red Table Talk to discuss what really went down at the party.

"On the way out, he did kiss me. It’s just no passion, no nothing, on the way out, he just kissed me. It was like a kiss on the lips. No tongue kiss, no making out, nothing," she claimed.

Khloé was evidently unhappy. "Why are you lying @jordynwoods?? If you’re going to try and save yourself by going public, INSTEAD OF CALLING ME PRIVATELY TO APOLOGISE FIRST, at least be HONEST about your story. BTW, You ARE the reason my family broke up!" she later wrote on Twitter.

"Tristan is equally to blame but Tristan is the father of my child. Regardless of what he does to me, I won’t do that to my daughter. He has been addressing this situation PRIVATELY. If Tristan were to lie publicly about what conspired, then yes I would address him publicly as well."

The next day, she clarified: "This has been an awful week & I know everyone is sick of hearing about it all (as am I). I’m a roller coaster of emotions & have said things I shouldn’t have. Honestly, Tristan cheating on me & humiliating me wasn’t such a shock as the first time.... What’s been harder & more painful is being hurt by someone so close to me.

"Someone whom I love & treat like a little sister. But Jordyn is not to be blamed for the breakup of my family. This was Tristan’s fault....I have to move on with my life & count my blessings, my family, my health, & my beautiful baby True."

September 2019 — Tristan angers Khloe's fans

After the NBA player left a rather flirty comment on one of Khloe's Instagram posts, the reality TV star's fans didn't hold back.

When he commented, "The sun is shinning [sic] bright on a beautiful [diamond emoji]" on an admittedly fire picture of Khloé, one fan wrote, "Just not perfect enough to be loyal to?" and another added, "U gotta be kidding me, boy you something else!"

Around the same time, an insider told US Weekly: "Khloé is co-parenting and not getting back with him."

While another source said: "Khloé and Tristan have been spending time together primarily involving True. Tristan has made it known to Khloé he wants to reconcile.

"Her friends are concerned Tristan misses the lifestyle and perks that are included when dating a Kardashian."

December 2019 — Khloé takes Tristan back

During a December 2019 episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, fans saw that Tristan had gifted his former flame a diamond necklace, and again, they weren't best pleased.

Khloé appeared to respond to the negative comments when she took to Instagram to defend her actions. "Life is short! We are all humans trying to figure out this thing called life … Yes, I’m allowed to feel hurt and pain. It would be unnatural for me to pretend as if I don’t," she wrote.

"Personally, I don’t want to be carrying around a hateful heart,” Kardashian wrote. Me holding onto hate is only going to hurt me in the end. I have chosen to NOT pollute my heart and my energy by holding onto anything negative … I am allowed to forgive but still not accept their behaviours… I was nothing but beautiful blessings for EVERYBODY that has ever been in my life."

She later confirmed that she was addressing both Tristan and Jordyn.

"The reason why I decided to post my previous post is that I’m seeing a lot of back-and-forth with people asking ‘why don’t I keep that same energy with Jordyn?’ That message is for Jordyn," she added. "It’s for anyone else who has ever hurt me. For some reason people want to assume that I’m talking only about Tristan. This message applies to ALL parties involved in situations that have ever hurt me. I have moved on, found forgiveness and wish you only happiness and joy!"

March 2020 — Cohabiting during a pandemic

In March 2020, US Weekly broke the news that the couple were living together amid the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown to co-parent their daughter, True.

A source said at the time: "Khloé doesn’t have bad or negative feelings toward Tristan at this point. Being quarantined has made her have a soft spot for him, and she knows he will always be part of her life in some way because he is True’s dad. Khloé has been open and receptive toward Tristan."

August 2020 — Scott Disick confirms they're back together

Scott Disick was the first of the Kardashian-Jenners to confirm online that Tristan and Khloé were back together. He took to Instagram to comment: "@RealTristan13 is a lucky man!" on an Instagram photo of the Revenge Body host.

Around the same time, an insider told US Weekly: "Khloe is hopeful that Tristan has changed for good and will continue to grow and be the great and loyal partner that he has been throughout their time together during the quarantine."

March 2021 — Khloé celebrates Tristan's 30th birthday

The Good American co-creator took to Instagram to celebrate her beau's 30th birthday in March of 2021.

"The ones that are meant to be are the ones who go through everything that is designed to tear them apart and they come out even stronger than before," she captioned a picture of the couple alongside their young daughter.

"Thank you for showing me everything you said you would. For the father you are. For the best friend I have in you. I’m thankful that I can do absolutely nothing with you and it feels like everything."

May 2021 — More cheating allegations

Model Sydney Chase alleged that she had slept with the NBA player shortly after he had reconciled with Khloé. Tristan responded by calling her a "liar" and threatening legal action.

His lawyer, Marty Singer, proceeded to issue a cease and desist letter to Sydney — who also claimed that she had received saucy texts from the 30-year-old, while he was with the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star.

June 2021 — Reported splitsville

Per US Weekly, the pair "broke up a few weeks ago" and "remain amicable toward each other and will continue to co-parent".

"There was no drama that broke them up, things just didn’t work out between the two of them," the insider continued.

News of the split comes after reports claim that the athlete was spotted entering a private room with three women at Nessel "Chubbs" Beezer's party in Los Angeles' Bel-Air area on Thursday, June 17.

A source told E! News: "Tristan was hanging out with Drake, Diddy and Chris Brown the majority of the night. He was seen hanging out with several girls on the upstairs deck and then went into a private room with three girls. He seemed like he was in a great mood and wanted to party. He was drinking and was partying into the early hours of the morning."

As of yet, neither Khloé nor Tristan have commented on the allegations.
