MORE ON TRISTAN
Currently, the reality star is reportedly having a tumultuous relationship with Thompson due to the alleged affair with Maralee Nichols while she was dating him.
As per TMZ, in July 2022, the pair reported they were soon going to welcome a second child via surrogate.
The baby, who was conceived in November of 2021, was born in August, a month after the news was announced.
During The Kardashians season 2 premiere, released on September 22, 2022, via Hulu, the Good American co-founder revealed new levels of Tristan’s betrayal as she sobbed over feeling ‘bamboozled’ by his love child:
“I found out about Tristan’s situation [with Nichols] the first week of December,” she said in a confessional.
“It’s just so close. I wouldn’t want anyone to think I did this after the fact. Why would I want to have a baby with someone who is having a baby with somebody else?
“I’m not that much of a sociopath. I’m a lunatic, but not that f**king deranged.”
She further explained that she was “encouraged to do it by a certain date,” she explained.
“In hindsight, he always knew when the other baby was being born, especially getting the paperwork that we saw.”
Maralee Nichols
Maralee Nichols is a fitness model born in Texas.
Controversy surrounding her child with Thompson began after she sued the NBA star for child support and claimed they had an affair during his relationship with Kardashian.
Thompson made a statement saying that he only slept with her once, claiming that he wanted a paternity test.
However, Nichols sat down with E! News to clarify her position on her relationship with Thompson and their baby.
During the interview, Nichols stated: “Over the past couple of weeks, many inaccurate and false stories have been circulated about me.
“I have not at any point released, nor have I directed anyone else to release, any information regarding Tristan Thompson or any litigation involving him.
“I have never spoken to any media outlet, nor have I leaked any information to anyone at any time. I am providing this statement because I feel I must defend my character.
She continued: “I have seen fake stories, unflattering photos of me, people using photos that are not even me, stating an incorrect occupation and age.
“There have been multiple fake Instagram posts claiming to be me, making false statements and attaching stock photos of a sonogram and a child.
She added: “These are the facts: I have lived in California since 2019. I am not a personal trainer. I have not worked as a personal trainer for four years; I do fitness modeling. I was never a personal trainer for Tristan.”
Following the birth of her baby boy in December 2021, Tristan made a statement regarding paternity test results on Monday, January 3, 2022, on his Instagram:
“Today, paternity test results reveal that I fathered a child with Maralee Nichols.
“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.”
The NBA player also addressed Khloé in his statement: “Khloé, you don’t deserve this. You don’t deserve the heartache and humiliation I have caused you.
“You don’t deserve the way I have you over the years. My actions certainly have not lined up with the way I view you.
“I have the utmost respect and love for you. Regardless of what you may think. Again, I am so incredibly sorry.”
In August 2022, Nichols shared a rare pic of their son, Theo, via Instagram story.
