Tristan Thompson faced backlash for his birthday tribute to his son Tatum on Instagram, as fans expressed concern over the perceived unequal treatment of his children.
The NBA player, 33, shared heartfelt photos of him with Tatum, 2, and his daughter True, 6, to celebrate the occasion. "Happy birthday Tatum!! Man, time goes by so fast! I can’t believe you’re already two years old!" Tristan wrote on Sunday.
"I am so blessed and honored to be your dad. Your energy and charisma light up the room. Thank you for being such an amazing son and brother to your mommy and sister. Watching you grow every day makes my heart happy. Continue being the angel you are, son. Daddy loves you so much." The post featured various photos of Tristan with Tatum and True at different events, as well as solo shots of Tatum.
Tristan shares both Tatum and True with Khloe Kardashian, 40. Despite the touching message, some fans took issue with the post. "All your children should get the same love and respect," one follower commented, a sentiment echoed by others. Tristan has two other children: Prince, 7, with ex-girlfriend Jordan Craig, and Theo, 2, with model Maralee Nichols. Notably, Tristan fathered Theo while Khloe was still pregnant with Tatum. "You have another little boy out there that would probably love to have his dad, not deny him," another fan wrote.
"Don't forget about your other kid, man! Remember the other little boy that is the same age as Tatum?" added another commenter. In addition to his post for Tatum, Tristan reshared Kris Jenner's birthday message for his son and other well-wishes. He also posted photos and videos from Tatum's birthday party to his Instagram Story. The dinosaur-themed celebration, dubbed "Tatum Two-a-Saurus," featured a balloon arch with dinosaur decorations, a sign reading "T-Rex Zone (T for Tatum)," and a pool area adorned with balloons and leaves in blue, tan, and green.

The party included an array of themed treats such as cookies, Rice Krispie treats decorated with the number two and dinosaur heads, mini dinosaur replicas, and a snack table filled with cookies, donuts, and cupcakes. The event was attended by Khloe, Kim Kardashian, and other family members. The controversy surrounding Tristan's birthday post highlights ongoing concerns among fans about his involvement with his other children, particularly Theo. Critics argue that all his children deserve equal recognition and love, pointing out that Prince and Theo do not seem to receive the same level of public acknowledgment.

While Tristan’s intentions were likely to celebrate Tatum’s milestone, the reaction underscores the complexity of co-parenting and public perceptions of familial responsibilities. The discussion also brings to light the broader issue of ensuring that all children feel valued and supported, regardless of their parents' relationships. As Tristan continues to navigate his role as a father, fans hope to see more inclusive gestures that demonstrate his commitment to all his children, fostering a sense of unity and love across his blended family.
