A photo of a masked Tristan, Khloe Kardashian‘s partner and father of their 2-year-old daughter True Thompson, raising his right hand while pledging his Oath of Allegiance next to a U.S. flag, was posted on the Twitter page of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services’ Western Region on Tuesday, Nov. 24.
The organization quoted Tristan as saying, “I came to the US on a student visa and have always had big dreams. I’m now truly living the American dream.”
“Congrats on reaching your goals @RealTristan13!” the group tweeted. “Best of luck with the @NBA #Celtics as a #NewUSCitizen!”
Tristan and a USCIS officer are the only ones seen in the photo. It is unclear if Khloe or True attended the NBA star’s naturalization ceremony.
Tristan was born in Brampton, near Toronto, and attended high school in New Jersey and Nevada to start his basketball career. He then attended and played for the University of Texas for one season before being drafted in 2011 by the Cleveland Cavaliers. Led by LeBron James, he helped the team win its first championship in 2016. Tristan then signed a five-year, $82 million contract with the Cavaliers. It ended this summer.
