Maralee Nichols gave birth to her and Tristan Thompson’s son in December 2021, and the model has been giving glimpses of their baby boy ever since.
News broke that same month that the personal trainer filed a paternity lawsuit earlier in 2021. The documents alleged that the little one was conceived in March when the professional basketball player was in a relationship with Khloé Kardashian.
“I met Tristan in 2020 at a party at his home in Encino, California. He told me he was single and coparenting,” the Texas native told Us in a statement. “I would never have gotten involved with Tristan if I thought he was in a relationship. … Tristan has not helped me financially with my pregnancy or with our baby. I have paid 100 percent for my son’s expenses. I did not ask Tristan for any money, nor did I accept any money that was offered to me.”
Thompson confirmed the following month that he is the father of Nichols’ child, writing via Instagram Stories: “I take full responsibility for my actions. Now that paternity has been established, I look forward to amicably raising our son. I sincerely apologize to everyone I’ve hurt or disappointed throughout this ordeal both publicly and privately.”
Thompson shares daughter True with Kardashian, as well as son Prince with his ex Jordan Craig.
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum “will never take him back romantically after learning about his cheating,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly in January 2022, adding that his paternity scandal “was the final straw.”
As for the Sacramento Kings player, the source said, “Tristan wants to make everything right with Khloé. He wants to win her back.”
