Tristan Thompson has shared a cryptic post on social media after welcoming his second child with Khloe Kardashian in the midst of his latest infidelity scandal.
Khloe, 38, and Tristan, 31, who were already parents to four-year-old True Thompson, welcomed their second child via surrogate this week - though their parenting journey has been something of bumpy ride.
Just days after welcoming their son, Tristan sent a message to his followers underneath a photo of himself on Instagram.

Accompanying the snap of him posing against a stone wall, wearing a black floral shirt and a gold chain, Tristan's caption reads: "I never switched sides, I switched lanes. I got wiser and realise we aren't all built the same."
He concluded the post with the hashtag "#DontTryMe".
When news of Khloe and Tristan's second baby first broke - not too long after reports that they had broken up - fans were in disbelief.
The NBA star had found himself embroiled in yet another cheating scandal, which saw him father a child with fitness model Maralee Nichols.
Maralee announced she had given birth to Tristan's third child, in December 2021 after it emerged he'd had a sexual encounter with Maralee during his 30th birthday celebrations in March.
In January 2022, Tristan publicly apologised to Khloé after a paternity test proved he had fathered the child.
The Chicago Bulls basketball player is also the father of Prince, five, with his ex Jordan Craig.
Tristan's latest cryptic Instagram post comes following reports that Khloe may be seeking full legal custody of their new baby.
Speaking to Hollywood Life this week, a source close to the ex-couple claimed Khloe and Tristan "have agreed that Khloe will have sole legal and physical custody of their baby full time."
The source added: "Tristan is so excited to have welcomed a son because he really wanted another boy.
"Even though Khloe will have full custody of the baby, she’s more than happy for Tristan to be present in their child’s life as much as he wants."
Tristan and Khloe have had an on-off relationship since they first started dating in 2016, with their relationship rocked by a number of cheating scandals.
In fact, just days prior to Khloe giving birth to True in 2018, a number of videos were released which appeared to show Tristan kissing a woman at a rooftop bar.
Although the pair reconciled, they split again in February 2019 after it was alleged that Tristan was kissing Kylie Jenner’s former best friend Jordyn Woods at a party.
In the first season of the Kardashian's new Hulu reality series, Khloe appeared willing to give Tristan one more chance. But what's next for this couple is anyone's guess.
