Tristan Thompson lawsuit: Tristan Thompson third child rumours
As soon as these rumours began to emerge, Tristan Thompson immediately denied all these claims saying he is not the father of Kimberly's son. Tristan Thompson, who is living with Khloe Kardashian during the ongoing lockdown, even agreed to take a paternity test in order to prove that the child is not his. The Tristan Thompson paternity test concluded he was not the father of Kimberly Alexander's child, but Kimberly alleges that the lab in which Tristan took the test is heavily influenced by the Kardashian family who could have easily tampered with the results.

Kimberly Alexander and Tristan Thompson lock horns
Kimberly Alexander demanded that Tristan Thompson take a second paternity test and this time from a different lab which the Kardashians have no influence over. Marty Singer, Tristan Thompson's attorney, said in a cease-and-desist letter that Thompson would be willing to take a second paternity test provided it came from an accredited lab to remove any doubt as per E! News reports. The letter states, "After it was indisputably established by a paternity test performed by one of the most reputable labs that Mr Thompson is not your child's father, we thought that would be the end of this. Instead, you have continued to spread outrageous lies about my clients, including ridiculous fictional conspiracy theories that you conjured up claiming that my clients supposedly somehow falsified the paternity test results since members of the Kardashian family had previously used the same trustworthy lab."
