Tristan Thompson’s baby mama whom he cheated on Khloe Kardashian with shares rare pics of their son Theo

by

Maralee Nichols, the mother of Tristan Thompson’s son Theo, recently shared the first public photo of her four-year-old child in almost two years.

When news broke that the NBA player had a child with fitness trainer Maralee Nichols, 34, he was still in a relationship with Khloe Kardashian.

Khloé Kardashian and Tristan Thompson were already using a surrogate to have their son, Tatum, who is now three years old, when she discovered he had fathered a child with another woman, Maralee Nichols.

I’ve followed Khloé and Tristan’s relationship for years, and it’s been such a rollercoaster. They have a beautiful daughter, True, but their romance was constantly plagued by Tristan’s cheating. It was heartbreaking to watch them go back and forth, with his infidelity always seeming to derail things.

The birth of Theo finalized the split between Thompson and Kardashian, though they’ve successfully established a friendly relationship for co-parenting their children together.

Since then, Nichols has mostly stayed out of the spotlight, but she recently shared a rare photo of her son with her Instagram followers.

She shared a sweet photo album of recent outings with Theo, but she had carefully hidden his face in every picture.

The group was spotted visiting flamingos at a pond, admiring a lake, and browsing a bookstore in San Diego.

I remember the last photo she shared of Theo so clearly – it was back in February 2024. It was a really sweet picture of him at a fruit market, gazing at all the fresh produce. It just felt so… him!

As a lifestyle observer, I’ve noticed that Sophia Nichols isn’t a frequent poster on Instagram. In fact, her latest album release featured the first photos she’d shared on the platform since September of last year – it’s been quite a while!

Khloé Kardashian began dating Tristan Thompson in 2016 while his then-ex-girlfriend, Jordan Craig, was still expecting their son, Prince, who is now nine years old.

Craig said he started dating Kardashian while believing his ex, Thompson, was still his girlfriend. However, Kardashian maintains she believed Thompson and Craig had already broken up.

Thompson and Kardashian had an on-again, off-again relationship from 2016 to 2021, which was troubled by his frequent infidelities.

Let me tell you, things were pretty intense for Khloé Kardashian right before True was born. Just under 48 hours before she welcomed her daughter, the Daily Mail actually broke the story about rumors of a possible affair with a bartender named Lani Blair. It was a really difficult time for her, to say the least, and the news definitely added a lot of stress right when she needed to be focusing on becoming a mom.

They continued their relationship until 2019, when Thompson was caught kissing Jordyn Woods, who was Kylie Jenner’s close friend at the time, at a party.

When the pandemic caused lockdowns, Kardashian and Thompson started living together to be near their daughter, True. During that time, they fell in love again.

I started hearing whispers back in June 2021 that things were rocky again, and unfortunately, it quickly became clear there were accusations about Thompson being unfaithful. He was immediately trying to shut down the rumors, but it was hard to ignore everything that was coming out.

In late 2021, the Daily Mail published court records showing that Tristan Thompson was expecting a child with Maralee Nichols.

Oh my gosh, December 1st was the BEST day ever! That’s when she had her little boy! And then, like, a couple of weeks later, she finally shared a statement and the first pictures! I seriously couldn’t breathe when I saw them – he’s absolutely perfect. I’ve been following her for years, and this just feels so special!

In January 2022, Thompson publicly acknowledged on Instagram that he fathered Maralee’s child, confirming the news with a paternity test.

In the season finale of The Kardashians, Kardashian angrily confronted her ex after discovering Tristan had fathered a child with Maralee.

She found out about Thompson’s secret child when her sister, Kim Kardashian, saw a story in the Daily Mail. The story revealed that Thompson had admitted to fathering a child in legal documents.

Khloe was visibly upset and cried as she angrily confronted Tristan, accusing him of publicly embarrassing her yet again.

Khloe explained that she confronted him, demanding an explanation. She admitted she did most of the yelling, while he attempted to justify his actions, but she felt there wasn’t much point in discussing it further, as she’d already made up her mind.

She described the situation as a ridiculous and unpleasant spectacle, saying everyone was fixated on it. She felt like she hadn’t asked for this drama, but found herself forced to watch it unfold.

Honestly, I’m done. I need a refund and just want out. It feels like the same old problems keep resurfacing – it’s a never-ending cycle, and no matter how much this person explains things, I’m not getting the answers or peace of mind I desperately need. I just want to be done with all of this.
