The last few weeks have seen speculation that Khloe Kardashian is getting romantically involved with NBA star Tristan Thompson. Now, those rumours have been confirmed, with a source close to the 32 year old saying the two were now officially “full on dating”.
An insider close to Khloe told Entertainment Tonight on Thursday (September 22nd): “They’re taking it slow, day by day, but are having so much fun together… It’s still the honeymoon stages and they both have a huge crush on each other.”
The source then revealed that she and Thompson, who plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers and hails from Canada, met at a party last month and hit it off pretty quickly. The couple were spotted sneaking off to Mexico over the Labor Day weekend.
A few days ago, it was reported that Khloe’s mom, Kris Jenner, has given Thompson the seal of approval.

“He’s the nicest, sweetest guy,” the source continues. “He comes from a very strong family and has a tight circle of close friends. He really isn’t into the ‘celeb scene’ and does his own thing. He’s close friends with [his teammate] LeBron [James] and a couple of his teammates.”
Nevertheless, Khloe is still proceeding cautiously in her new relationship. She’s dated NBA stars James Harden and Lamar Odom (still officially her husband!) in the past, and won’t be making any “rushed judgments”.
As for her complicated relationship with Lamar Odom – from whom Khloe filed for divorce for the second time back in May this year – it’s apparently all over except for the paperwork.
“Lamar is out of her life completely,” the same source updated. “No animosity there – she still cares about him, she still wants him to be safe, but it’s over.”
