Khloé Kardashian “likes” Tristan Thompson being traded to the Los Angeles Lakers.
The “Kardashians” star subtly supported her on-again, off-again beau by dropping a “like” on the NBA’s Instagram post that announced Thompson’s and Shaquille Harrison’s move.
News of Thompson’s trade comes just weeks after he purchased a mansion three doors down from Khloé’s Hidden Hills estate.
The athlete, who shares 4-year-old daughter True and an 8-month old baby boy with Khloé, signed the deed for the $12.5 million, 10,584-square-foot property in December 2022.
Neither Khloé nor Thompson publicly commented on his eyebrow-raising real estate move.

However, the Good American co-founder repeatedly has had to shut down reconciliation rumors in recent weeks and maintain that she’s “single.”
Despite telling fans and followers that she and Thompson, 32, aren’t romantically involved, the pair continue to spark rumors otherwise.
Just last week, the duo were spotted at a McDonald’s together grabbing a ton of food, but a source close to the former couple doubled down to Page Six that it wasn’t a romantic outing.

The NBA player was also invited to True’s birthday party last weekend and was seen mingling with the Kardashians and their friends.
In addition to the two children he shares with the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” alum, Thompson is also a father to 6-year-old son Prince, whom he co-parents with ex-girlfriend Jordan Craig, and 1-year-old son Theo, whose mother is Maralee Nichols.
While the former Chicago Bulls player was showering his daughter at her birthday party, Nichols took the opportunity to shade Thompson and the lavish display.
Despite the eyebrow-raising moves, Kardashian maintains she’s “single.”khloekardashian/Instagram
“Happiness,” she wrote alongside the social media upload of Theo at the beach. “it’s the simple things in life that are the most extraordinary.”
Instagram users commented on the pointed caption, with one writing, “This one will grow up mentally healthy and happy in the natural world.”
The fitness model posted a sweet selfie of herself holding her 1-year-old in her arms on her Instagram Stories Monday, approximately six hours after Kardashian’s tribute in honor of Thompson’s 32nd birthday.
In the Good American founder’s snap, the former Chicago Bulls star sat with his newborn son and daughter True, 4, whom he shares with Kardashian, and his oldest son Prince, 6, whom he shares with ex Jordan Craig.

Along with the picture, Kardashian, 38, penned a sweet message to her “baby daddy” to commemorate his special day.
“Happy birthday @realtristan13,” she captioned the post. “You are truly the best father, brother & uncle. Your love, attention, silly dances, hugs, carpool rides, bed time rituals, the way u show up for them. All of the above means more than you’ll ever know to your family of littles.”
The “Kardashians” star then subtly shaded her on-again, off-again ex by saying that she wishes that he will “continue to crave change, healing, and transformation.”
Nichols’ post came hours after the Good American founder shared hers.Instagram/@maraleenicholsNichols gave birth to her baby boy in December 2021, one month after Kardashian conceived her and Thompson’s second baby via surrogate.Instagram/@maraleenichols
The mom of two concluded, “Be strong, be kind, be patient, be free. Continue to Make your soul and your mommy proud. Happy birthday baby daddy.”
Though Kardashian turned off the comments section of her post, that didn’t stop fans from taking to Twitter to discuss how the reality star left one of his children out of the photo.
“Khloe Kardashian had to turn her comments off after she was dragged for this birthday post for Tristan ‘Third Trimester’ Thompson. How the hell he a great father when Maralee baby not there,” tweeted one fan.
“You really can’t say that someone’s the best father if they’re not taking care of all their kids?!?! @khloekardashian One of Tristan’s kids is missing from the photo no?!?!” added another.

“Khloe will never be able to convince me Tristan is a ‘great father’ so long as he continues to not claim poor baby Theo,” wrote a third user.

“Today, paternity test results reveal that I fathered a child with Maralee Nichols,” he wrote at the time. “I take full responsibility for my actions. Now that paternity has been established I look forward to amicably raising our son.”
Thompson also issued an apology to Kardashian, who was dating the athlete when Theo was conceived.
“Khloé, you don’t deserve this. You don’t deserve the heartache and humiliation I have caused you,” he continued. “You don’t deserve the way I have treated you over the years.”
Mom of two Abby Ordenana wanted the picture perfect shot for her family Christmas card this year.
But she didn’t want to shuffle off to the mall to have a halfway decent frame snapped by a seasonal department store shutterbug, nor did she feel like setting the timer on her camera phone, sprinting into place and hoping not to look a disheveled, sweaty fright after the flash.
So, Ordenana, 32, Photoshopped herself, her 11-year-old daughter and their dog Zeus into a holiday snap set against a $2,000 all-fabric backdrop, which she purchased earlier in the year for work, alongside her husband Elias and son Ezra, 8, in their living room.
“Photoshopping my Christmas picture was great because [the software] literally allows you to create anything. Sky’s the limit,” Ordenana, a newborn and maternity photographer from Orlando, Fla., explained to The Post.

To stitch together the yuletide visual, she first set each member of her family into position and took their photo on her Canon EOS 6D camera, leaving a space between her kids empty. Then, she had Aria step out of the shot to take a photo of her seated in the vacant spot she created in the initial shot.
And after 30 minutes of picture taking, Ordenana spent another 45 minutes meticulously merging the two shots together, and adding in a previously snapped picture of Zeus, to actualize “the perfect image.” And her nearly seamless edit scored over 227,000 likes on TikTok.
“It’s a complicated process,” she admitted with a laugh. “But I want my kids to one day look back at the photo and say, ‘Wow, mom really outdid herself when it came to getting those Christmas pictures — so much so that she photoshopped herself in there.’”
And Ordenana isn’t the only one to use the image-editing software to create holiday magic this season. In fact, the hashtag #ChristmasPhotoshop has earned over 10,000 TikTok views. However, not everyone is getting a cheery thumbs up for their retouching efforts.

Social media scrooges recently gave “American Idol” veteran judge Paula Abdul, 60, a virtual lump of coal after she shared a series of presumed photoshopped images of herself at Kathy Hilton’s Christmas party online.
Billionaire trendsetter Kim Kardashian, 42, too, caught jingle bell hell for allegedly photoshopping in her sisters and mother Kris Jenner into a festive family image that she shared on Instagram.

Digital whistleblowers called out the reality stars for their awkward body positioning, strange facials expressions and uneven lighting in the shot. And for posting the peculiar picture, photoshop accusers called the Skims mogul “shallow” and “garbage.”
But Kardashian, who’s previously fallen victim to a number of viral photoshop fails, set the record straight about her controversial Christmas snap Wednesday. On her Instagram Story, the A-lister shared behind-the-scenes footage of her clan posing together for the group shot.

And while Kardashian successfully dodged her most recent string of photoshop charges, professional photographer Caitie Corkal tells The Post that piecing together separate photos to create one cohesive portrait can add a dash of whimsy to an otherwise humdrum holiday novelty.
“Photoshopping our annual Christmas photo allows me to make something fun and lighthearted that makes people laugh,” said Corkal, 31, from Toronto. Each year she transforms individual pictures of herself, her husband Liam and their two dogs and two cats into a wacky season’s greeting card.
“It hard to get us all in one room and posed for a family picture,” Corkal confessed. “So, photoshopping us together gives us something that everyone loves rather than a boring, cookie-cutter shot.”
Khloé Kardashian and Tristan Thompson’s second child together, a baby boy, made his Instagram debut on Sunday.
“Owlette and Tigger aka True and Baby Brother,” the reality star captioned sweet Halloween snaps of her daughter, 4, holding the 3-month-old.
“Shhhhh,” Kardashian went on to write. “But I can’t wait for Halloween to be over.”
Her and Thompson’s little one arrived via surrogate in July, and the on-again, off-again couple have yet to reveal his name.
When “The Kardashians” premiered two months later, fans got a first look at the infant as his birth was documented.
News broke over the summer that the 38-year-old “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” alum and the athlete, 31, conceived baby No. 2 in November 2021.
Notably, the NBA player’s cheating scandal with Maralee Nichols — which resulted in son Theo’s birth — made headlines in December 2021.
“Khloé and Tristan already had the baby in the works when the scandal hit. By then, Khloé was just like, ‘I’m going to be doing it by myself,’” a source told us in July, noting that the duo did not speak outside of co-parenting issues.
The Chicago Bulls player previously admitted to being unfaithful to the Good American co-creator two times, most recently in February 2019 with Kylie Jenner’s then-friend Jordyn Woods.
When she found out about the power forward’s latest scandal last year, she called his actions “despicable” on her family’s new Hulu show.
“Was Tristan going to tell me if there wasn’t a baby involved? Absolutely not, and that shows a lot about his character,” Kardashian said in a June episode.

While Page Six confirmed that same month that the “Khloé & Lamar” alum had moved on with a private equity investor, the duo have since called it quits.
“They split a few weeks ago,” a source explained to Us Weekly after Kardashian’s son arrived. “Things just fizzled out between them.”
Thompson, who is also the father of son Prince, 5, with ex Jordan Craig, was spotted with a mystery woman in Greece ahead of his son’s birth.
Kardashian appeared to approve of the romance, “liking” a photo of the pair holding hands.
They were once joined at the hip, but it seems as though Kourtney Kardashian Barker and sister Khloé Kardashian aren’t as close as they once were.
Sister relationships are often complicated, but even Kourtney acknowledged that the pair aren’t inseparable these days during an Oct. 4 appearance on the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast.
“I think just life isn’t the same,” the 43-year-old said. “I think I’m in a different place.”
Elaborating more on what could have caused the pair to drift ever so slightly, the mom-of-three admitted that after Khloé and Kim Kardashian welcomed kids around the same time, the pair effectively became two peas in a pod.
“I just felt like they really bonded. They were going through the same things,” she told host Amanda Hirsch.
“That’s when I was unhappy with the show, partially ’cause of [Khloé and Kim] kind of ganging up [on me]. I felt like it was almost everything that Khloé and I had done to Kim, and then they were like kind of flipping it on me,” she said.
Kourtney said she started going to therapy around that time to become “more self-aware.”
“I love it now, but it’s hard and I felt just really sensitive. I was used to being such a b–h for so many years without any care. No one could shake me. No one could rattle me, nobody could say something mean to me ’cause I would say something 20 times meaner back,” she added.
Despite the fact she’s not as close to Khloé, 38, anymore, Kourtney says the pair will always share a special bond of some form.
Tristan Thompson secretly proposed to Khloé Kardashian in December 2020 — but she rejected him.
The stunning revelation was made on Thursday’s episode of “The Kardashians” when Kim Kardashian spilled that the Good American co-founder never even told her family.
“The fact that he proposed and you never told us, and I asked him months later,” Kim said to Khloé in a conversation.
The Skims founder then recalled Tristan saying, “‘Oh, I did it months ago. She didn’t tell you guys?’”
It turned out the NBA free agent, 31, popped the question in December 2020, but Khloé turned him down because she didn’t feel “proud” of his offer.
“I need to make sure this is a totally different relationship because I want to be proud to say I’m engaged to anyone,” Khloé said in a confessional, “and that’s why I said I’m not comfortable accepting this right now because I’m not excited to tell my family.”

Just yesterday, the actress was seen with her husband, Matthew…
The “Revenge Body” alum continued, “As hurtful as that probably was for him to hear it was the truth. I’m not ever gonna accept something and give someone false hope.”
While Khloé, 38, was strong enough to turn down her on-again, off-again beau, Kim joked she’d “have to say yes” to a proposal because she’d “just feel so bad.”
Throughout the episode, the family tries to figure out how to help Khloé, who is still reeling from finding out that Thompson not only cheated on her again but also impregnated Maralee Nichols while pushing Khloé to have a baby via surrogate.

“I don’t know if I’m strong,” Khloé said. “I’m literally just numb to all this s–t, like how much can people take?”
The heartbreak came as the former “Kocktails With Khloé” star found out that she and Thompson would have a baby boy. Although they were no longer a couple, Khloé allowed the athlete to visit their newborn in the hospital.
“Now that my son is here, I get to move on and I get to enjoy,” she said during the premiere. “It’s almost like I get to close that chapter and be done with this trauma and put it behind me.”
