Maralee Nichols has shared a rare photo of her five-month-old child, Theo.
It comes as the baby’s dad, Tristan Thompson, still hasn’t met his son.
Taking to Instagram, 31-year-old Maralee acknowledged Mother’s Day as she posed in a long pink dress holding baby Theo.
She looked stunning as she gazed directly at the camera while protectively cradling her son.
The infant wore grey dungarees, but his face was turned toward his mom’s chest.
The fitness model has been reluctant to show her son’s face on social media but has shared updates while holding him in a similar pose before.
In the caption, she proudly addressed her son: “Thank you for choosing me to be your mommy, being your mommy is my greatest blessing.
“Words cannot express how much I love you. You are my world”
She concluded: “Happy Mother’s Day to all of the amazing mothers out there!”
It seems that Maralee will be celebrating the occasion solo, as Tristan, 31, has still not met his son Theo.

She is locked in a feud with her baby daddy, who is Khloe Kardashian’s ex.
Maralee has claimed that Tristan refuses to pay child support and has made “no attempt” to meet their son, who was born in December.
Last month, she demanded that he should pay “$47K” a month and $1million in legal fees after he allegedly refused to give child support to their baby.
FINANCIAL FEUD
According to UsWeekly she has heated up her legal battle with Tristan.
Maralee filed the paperwork at a Los Angeles court at the beginning of March.
In the legal documents, she claimed that the Chicago Bulls player has an “income of $9.7million alone.”
The model has requested a “guideline monthly child support of $47,424.”
However, amid the dispute, Tristan has previously slammed his baby mama as a “gold digger”.
LOVE CHILD SCANDAL
Maralee shot into the public eye after it was revealed that she was the mother of Khloe’s ex-boyfriend’s love child.
Paternity tests confirmed that Tristan was the baby’s father after he cheated on the reality star with Maralee.
Following the shocking revelations, he apologized to Khloe in a public statement and promised that he “looked forward to amicably raising” the baby.
However, Tristan has since snubbed his new child, and according to Maralee’s representative “has not made any attempt to meet their son nor has he provided any financial assistance”.
