Khloe Kardashian was left in tears after her ex Tristan Thompson shared a touching birthday tribute to their daughter, True Thompson, who just turned seven, reported PEOPLE.
The former couple, who co-parent True and their younger son Tatum, recently came together to throw an extravagant neon-themed birthday bash for their little girl — complete with a DIY slime station, LED dance floor, and all the over-the-top fun you’d expect from a Kardashian celebration.
But it was Tristan’s emotional Instagram post that struck a chord. Sharing a sweet photo carousel of their children, the NBA star poured his heart out in the caption: “Happy birthday Twinny!! My TuTu is 7 today!! I can’t believe how time flies. Momma, you are the light that shines bright in my life. When I see you, I see mommy aka GiGi.”
He continued, praising his daughter’s character: “You have the best soul ever. I’m soo blessed to have you as my daughter. Keep being amazing each and every day. Daddy always got you.” He signed off with a Korean heart and red heart emoji, adding a sentimental touch to the already emotional message.
Khloe, clearly moved by the gesture, took to the comments to respond. “Awww this was sweet! I can’t believe she’s 7,” she wrote, adding a teary-eyed emoji.
The heartfelt moment was a rare public exchange between the exes, who’ve had a rocky past but seem committed to putting their children first. Khloe also gave fans a behind-the-scenes look at the birthday fun on her Instagram Stories, showing off the colourful party setup and all the joy it brought True.
While their romantic relationship may be behind them, moments like this suggest there’s still a lot of mutual love and respect when it comes to parenting. And for Khloe, seeing Tristan honour their daughter so openly was enough to bring on the tears, in the best way.
