Tristan Thompsonis worried about how his kids will feel about the decisions he’s made in his past.
In the latest episode ofThe Kardashians, the NBA player, 32, shares an update on his home construction withKhloé Kardashianas he continues staying at her house.
“I can’t wait for you to see the finished product,” he says, to which the Good American co-founder, 39, jokes, “Trust me, I can’t wait to see the finished product either.”
“Nah, I get it. I know, there’s nothing like your own space to a degree,” he says.
“Not to a degree, just period. I still need my space. I love being alone,” she corrects, leading Thompson to point out he “was a great house guest.”
“You are. You’re super helpful and you’re great with the kids. Trust me, I appreciate it.”
“Seriously though, thank you for letting me crash here while my roof crashed to the floor,” he says.

Thompson goes on to talk about unlearning some behaviors that have been enforced on him as a professional athlete and citeshis kidsfor wanting to make the change.
“It wasn’t until I really had to look at myself. I never had to hold myself accountable. We’re taught, ‘Be the man, do what you please, bros before hoes …’ " he says. “You gotta just be your own man and don’t care what people think and don’t feel like you have to get validation from others.”
Turning his attention to his older two kids —True, 5, andPrince Oliver, 6½ — Thompson shares concerns about what they’ll learn about his shortcomings.
“True is understanding stuff and Prince understands things where they go to school and they have classmates. The last thing I ever want them to do is feel embarrassed that I’m their father,” he says.

“I think going down this journey that I’ve been on, especially withlosing my mom, I always ask myself, ‘Why do certain things to hurt certain people?'”
In her confessional, Kardashian noted that “what happened between Tristan and I was not some small little incident. It was some massive situation that really was avery traumatic experiencefor me in my life, so I’m not going to forget it.”
“But I’m so proud that I’m able to be kind and mature and show my children that mommy and daddy can coexist and be co-parents,” she continues. “I’m able to be here for him when he’s in his time of need.”
