Khloe Kardashian has shared new photos of her eight-month-old son in a rare reveal.
Kardashian, 38, posted pictures of her baby boy with ex Tristan Thompson, who turned 32 on Monday, as she wrote a lengthy birthday message to the NBA player on Instagram.
The exes welcomed their son, whose name has not been revealed, via surrogate last July, several months on from splitting after it was revealed that Thompson had fathered a child with another woman.
It seems that the pair are back on good terms now, though, as Kardashian praised Thompson for being the “best father” in her birthday message to him, while showing the sports star bonding with their son and four-year-old daughter True in several photos.
“Happy birthday Tristan,” Khloe wrote.
“You are truly the best father, brother and uncle. Your love, attention, silly dances, hugs, carpool rides, bed time rituals, the way you show up for them. All of the above means more than you’ll ever know to your family of littles.”
The Hulu star referenced Thompson’s cheating behaviour as she continued: “My birthday wish for you is that you continue to crave change, healing, and transformation. Be strong, be kind, be patient, be free. Continue to make your soul and your mommy proud.”
Kardashian signed off the birthday message with: “Happy birthday baby daddy.”
Fans gave their reactions to Kardashian’s latest post as they questioned her positive comments on ex Thompson on Twitter.
One person wrote: “How can Tristan be the best father if he has abandoned one of his children?!”
“Not Khloe Kardashian calling Tristan best dad, the world really coming to an end,” a second said, adding a laughing face emoji.
A third added: “Tristan isn’t a good father. He has another kid that he hasn’t even met yet. Please be [real]. You’re out of touch.”
Kardashian’s birthday message to Thompson comes as she has continued to support Thompson, following the death of his mother earlier this year.
Thompson’s mother Andrea Brooks died from a heart attack in January.
Kardashian has been spotted by the side of the basketball star regularly since news of his mother’s passing broke, and she was also seen attending Ms Brooks’ funeral in Toronto, Canada, with her mother Kris Jenner and sister Kim Kardashian.
