Tristan Thompson Responded to Khloé Kardashian’s Pregnancy Announcement in the Sweetest Way

On Wednesday Khloé Kardashian *finally* announced her pregnancy in the most amazing way on Instagram, with a picture of boyfriend (and soon-to-be dad) Tristan Thompson holding her stomach. (Is that an engagement ring we spot on Khloé's hand?!) And to top things off, the 26-year-old NBA player had the absolutely sweetest response to the announcement—reminiscing on their relationship and how they met.

Thank you for making me feel beautiful at all stages! Tristan, most of all, Thank you for making me a MOMMY!!! You have made this experience even more magical than I could have envisioned!
