Zuma restaurant in Boston must have really delicious food, because Tristan Thompson has dined there two out of the last three nights. He set tongues wagging by having dinner there on Dec. 13 with a mystery blonde, who later turned out to be his estate manager named Julia. The 29-year-old newest Boston Celtic returned to the Japanese eatery on Dec. 15 with reunited girlfriend Khloe Kardashian as his date. They also happened to be joined by a production crew, and could have been shooting material for the final season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
Tristan, Khloe and a third person “came in single-file through the main entrance and headed to the glass-enclosed private dining room in the back of the restaurant, behind the chef’s kitchen. There was also a production crew of three people,” a source tells PEOPLE magazine, noting that everyone was wearing face masks to protect against the spread of COVID-19. Tristan was reportedly dressed in grey sweats, while Khloe was also casual, wearing a knit cap with a little pom-pom on top.
As HollywoodLife.com told you EXCLUSIVELY about Tristan’s dinner date with Julia at Zuma, “Many celebs and sports stars from the Celtics, Patriots and Bruins and Red Sox are in here all the time. Tristan was there, he was very nice, very polite and was with a woman, but it didn’t appear to be a date at all. They seemed very comfortable with each other and it was major friend vibes. They left separately. He was a very nice person and wasn’t hiding himself or doing anything unusual,” an employee of the restaurant told us EXCLUSIVELY.
With Khloe’s arrival in Boston, it appears Tristan’s search for a new home is getting narrowed down. His estate manager Julia was reportedly in town to help the 29-year-old find a place to set down roots, as he signed a two-year, $19 million deal to play for the Celtics. While Khloe and their two-year-old daughter True Thompson won’t be relocating to Boston, she does plan to make extended visits to the East Coast from her home in L.A., and will likely want a say in where he’ll be living.
The Celtics have already rolled out their welcome for Khloe and True to be party of the team’s family. The organization sent her a goodie basket with all sorts of team swag, including a a Celtics teddybear holding a basketball, logo thermos cups, black and green beanie hats, Celtics t-shirts and other green, white and black apparel. With as much as Khloe is photographed and how much she shares pictures of True on social media, it will be great publicity for Tristan’s new team to see Koko and her kiddo in Celtics gear.
Khloe loved the present, gushing, “Thank you so much @celtics!!” on top of a Dec. 11 Instagram photo that showed the package sitting alongside her Christmas tree. She added, “So sweet of you to include True and I!!! Go green,” with a trio of clover emojis. Tristan’s move to Boston after spending his career with the Cleveland Cavaliers has Khloe’s family excited as well. “Congrats @realtristan13,” Kim Kardashian, 40, posted to her Instagram story on Nov. 21, sharing an edited image of Tristan rocking the green Celtics jersey and clover leaf. Kim then promised, “Boston here we come!!!”
