Mystery brunette spotted with Tristan Thompson after split from Khloe Kardashian identified as model Karizma Ramirez
There's a new woman in Tristan Thompson's life and, no, it's definitely not Jordyn Woods. The mystery brunette who was spotted having dinner with Tristan after his split from 'KUWTK' star Khloe Kardashian has been identified as model Karizma Ramirez.
According to TMZ, the Cleveland Cavaliers player and the model are not dating as of now, even though the pair have been spotted out and about the city for a couple of weeks now. The website also revealed that the basketball player had been introduced to the 28-year-old model by fellow NBA player Jordan Clarkson.
Clarkson, who was briefly linked to Khloe’s sister Kendall Jenner in the summer of 2016, set up the couple's first dinner on February 27 at the celeb-beloved Italian restaurant Carbone in New York City. The duo reunited about a week later on Tuesday, March 5, for a night out at Nobu in NYC, reports Us Weekly.
The NBA professional met up with the former waitress while the Cavaliers were in town for a game against the Brooklyn Nets. At the time of their first meeting, Tristan had shared a photo on his Instagram Stories of the pasta dish he ordered, and eagle-eyed fans were quick to point out a woman’s fingernails in the background.
His recent outings with Ramirez come in the wake of his break up with the 'Revenge Body' star with whom he shares a daughter True Thompson. Khloe and Tristan broke up in mid-February after news of the athlete cheating on her with Kylie Jenner’s BFF Jordyn Woods leaked online.
Khloe had initially accused Jordyn of "lying" on Jada Pinkett Smith's Facebook Watch show 'Red Table Talk' saying the 21-year-model was the reason her "family broke up". However, the Kardashian sister however faced immense criticizm for her statement. She soon changed her tune and blamed her ex Tristan instead.
"This has been an awful week & I know everyone is sick of hearing about it all (as am I). I’m a rollercoaster of emotions & have said things I shouldn’t have. Honestly, Tristan cheating on me & humiliating me, wasn’t such a shock as the first time," she wrote to her 27 million followers on Twitter.
She clarified her stance saying, "Jordyn is not to be blamed for the breakup of my family. It was Tristan's fault." Earlier, she had said that the reason she does not blame Tristan as much as she blames Jordyn was because he was the father of their daughter True, who turns one next month.
