The Canada native moved to the U.S. in 2009 to attend the University of Texas on a student visa. He played for the university for about a year before he declared for the NBA draft, foregoing his three years of college eligibility. Thompson began his professional basketball career in 2011 with the Cleveland Cavaliers, where he played for nine seasons.

The athlete’s U.S. citizenship comes after news broke on November 21 that he reached a two-year, $19 million deal with the Boston Celtics as its new center. The career move will also be a big change for Thompson’s girlfriend, Khloé Kardashian, and their 2-year-old daughter, True.

“Khloé and Tristan are going to be fine. They will be living together in Boston and L.A.,” the source said. “Tristan has really turned his behaviors around and is focusing on Khloé and True.”
