Now that’s Kardashian kloseness.

Kim Kardashian and daughter North West attended the Los Angeles Lakers game on Saturday (AEST) – where they visibly supported Khloé Kardashian‘s cheating ex-boyfriend, Tristan Thompson, with a homemade sign, The New York Post reports.

The SKIMS founder, 42, and her mini-me, nine, were photographed holding up a sign that read “Tristan Thompson” in purple and gold colouring as they sat courtside for the game against the Golden State Warriors.

Naturally, fans on social media had a lot to say about Kim’s public support for Thompson, 32.

“Let’s cheer on the repeat cheating on our sister offender. This family,” one critic wrote on Twitter, with another adding, “It’s so weird to me how Kim K can continue cheering for Tristan after the way this man has dogged tf out her sister. It could never be me boii.”

A third chimed in, writing, “The man doesn’t even play… what is Kim’s obsession with Tristan? When has she ever gone this hard for any of her sister’s exes?”

Another argued, “I like Kim but the way she champions Tristan is so f***ing weird.”

Thompson has had a complicated, cheating-filled relationship with Khloé, 38. The former couple share two kids – daughter True, 5, and 9-month-old son, Tatum.

Khloé was days away from giving birth to True when footage of Thompson seemingly canoodling with another woman at a nightclub surfaced.

Page Six exclusively reported at the time that the “Good American” co-founder “went ballistic” and “was devastated” after hearing that Thompson had cheated on her.

At the end of the month, Kim went on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” and bashed Thompson’s unscrupulous behaviour.

“I don’t even know how to describe it besides it’s just so f***ed up,” she said.

“We really were rooting for Khloé and we still are. She’s so strong and she’s doing the best that she can.”

However, the two reconciled during the coronavirus pandemic and even planned for baby No. 2.

“I might get some embryos and get a sibling [for True],” Khloé told Thompson during an April 2021 episode of her family’s E! show. “I might need to borrow some sperm or get some from you.”

The athlete replied that he was “on board.”

In November 2021, the duo conceived their son via surrogate, only for a pesky paternity suit to be filed against Thompson the following month by Maralee Nichols.

Thompson initially denied impregnating the fitness model but fessed up after a DNA test confirmed he was the father of their son, Theo.

Nichols claimed their baby was conceived on the NBA player’s 30th birthday in March 2021 — while he was allegedly engaged to Khloé.

It isn’t the first time Kim has shown her support for the love rat.

Kim was slammed on social media for spending a Thanksgiving celebration with Thompson last year when the two visited a Los Angeles juvenile detention facility to dine with young men.

Last month she brought her eldest son, Saint, 7, to a game and had the tyke wearing a yellow jersey emblazoned with the number nine.

Thompson was granted the digit when he was traded to the Los Angeles-based team in April.

It was Kim who broke the news to her sister that a paternity suit had been filed against Thompson.
