Tristan Thompson is worrying about the consequences of his past actions, and how they may affect his relationship with his daughter True. In this week's episode of The Kardashians, the NBA player opened up to Kylie Jenner about fears of what True may think of him after learning about his infidelities.

"That's my motivation before anything," he told Jenner. "I never want my daughter to go to school and talk so great about me and a little kid come and be like, 'Oh, your dad is like this,' and she'll be embarrassed," he confessed.
Thompson's brutal honesty with himself about how True feels about him was on full display as he continued to open up to Jenner.
"That'll break my heart because she views me in such a high regard," he shares. "You want to just be a good influence and role model for them so they can be proud of you and say, 'That's my daddy.' That's the stuff that motivates me."
"Aw, Tristan! You're going to make me cry," Jenner said, tearing up a little.
"I'm sorry, I'm not trying to. The three most important things in life taken away from me — basketball, my mom, my family — was all taken away from me in a year span. It's the biggest wake-up call you can get in your life. So I try to right my wrongs as best I can while I'm here," he said.
In an episode that aired last month, Thompson expressed fear that his kids, including his oldest son Prince, would be embarrassed by him as they got older.
"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 said.
