‘The Kardashians’ Recap: Tristan Thompson Talks Jordyn Woods Hookup
Tristan Thompson is finally ready to take responsibility for the role he played in his relationship with Jordyn Bos.
During a new episode of The Kardashianswhich started streaming on Thursday, November 16, Tristan, 32, said Khloe Kardashian he deeply regretted his past infidelity. More specifically, the athlete had time to reflect on how his affair with Jordyn, 26, affected not only Khloé, 39, but her family as well.
‘What if someone told me, what do you think? Kylie [Jenner] Missed Jordyn? I’d probably say yes. And that makes me feel bad. Especially since I’m the oldest,” he said. “I should have handled it differently. As an older person, I should have dealt with it more. As the pointer [person].”
Tristan admitted it took time for him to realize his mistakes, adding: ‘Sometimes men don’t realize it until they’re forty or fiftieth when the train has already gone. Hopefully my train hasn’t left yet.”
Tristan Thompson’s dating history: from Khloe Kardashian to Jordyn Woods
Tristan Thompson’s dating life has made headlines over the years, and not just because of his high-profile relationship with Khloé Kardashian. The athlete was in a relationship with Jordan Craig from 2014 to 2016. After their divorce, Craig discovered that she was expecting a child. The exes welcomed son Prince in December 2016. Us Weekly confirmed that they are pro basketball […]
The NBA player started dating Khloé in 2016, and a year later they announced they were expanding their family. Days before their daughter True arrived in 2018, Tristan cheated on his then-pregnant girlfriend with multiple women.
After initially staying together, Khloé and Tristan called it quits in February 2019 when he kissed Kylie’s former best friend Jordyn. (Jordyn was 21 at the time and Tristan 28.)
We weekly confirmed in August 2020 that Khloé and Tristan were giving their romance another shot. Less than a year later they broke up again. The couple briefly reconciled in late 2021 before calling it quits for good.
In December 2021, news broke that the athlete was being charged Maralee Nichols for child benefit. A month later, Tristan acknowledged that he is the father of the fitness model’s son, Theo, after requesting genetic testing. It was later revealed that Khloé and Tristan’s surrogate mother was pregnant at the same time and gave birth to their son Tatum in the summer of 2022.
In the wake of Tristan’s relationship with Jordyn, Kylie, 26, split from her then-best friend.
The former friends reunited several times earlier this summer. Before Jordyn and Kylie publicly crossed paths, Tristan spoke with Khloé’s youngest sister to finally discuss the drama.

“It really bothers me because we had such a dope relationship. But everyone was affected differently. You were the most affected by the situation,” he told Kylie in Thursday’s episode. “You lost Jordyn, who was a huge part of your life. I know how much she meant to your life and your connection. You were two peas in a pod, so the fact that I put myself in the situation was not right and not smart.”
Tristan continued: “I just want to say I’m sorry. I feel bad about it. … The fact that I came up with my bad decisions and that I was a royal idiot who was young and stupid, I just wanted to say again that I’m sorry.”
Kylie, who accepted the apology, said the situation has changed her for the better.
“I think I was so dependent on Jordyn that I could never imagine my life without her. We probably still lived together. She had to grow without me and I had to grow without her,” she added. “Jordyn and I are cool. We still talk and catch up. We are good.”
Tristan then asked Kylie to pass on his apology to Jordyn as well before heading to the next stop on his apology tour. His journey to Kourtney KardashianTristan’s house got off to a bit of an awkward start when Tristan came across 11-year-old daughter Penelope. (Kourtney, 44, revealed in an episode earlier this month that her dislike for Tristan rubbed off on her daughter.)
After talking to Kourtney, Tristan tried to explain what led to him being unfaithful
“I cheated because of an action or because of a feeling. But it also came down to not really knowing how to love. That’s how I grew up,” he noted. “The therapy made me realize that during my childhood I saw how my father would treat my mother. When you see that as a child, the trauma of not being able to protect your mother because you are so young, you numb your emotions. It’s my defense mechanism.”
Tristan went on to talk about how therapy has allowed him to address his mistakes. “I never understood how to feel pain or emotions because the most important person in my life – even when she was treated terribly – was always happy,” he continued. “I have never seen a man treat a woman well. I’ve never seen a man cheat on a woman. I have never seen a good husband.”
In response, Kourtney made it clear that she was still angry at Tristan for hurting Khloé.
“I don’t think you deserve Khloé. The actions you took are not something she deserves,” the Poosh founder said before a “To Be Continued” message appeared at the end of the episode.
