Tristan Thompson Allegedly Expecting 3rd Child with Woman Suing for Child Support

Tristan Thompson is allegedly expecting his third child with a woman who is suing him for child support.

According to legal documents obtained by The Daily Mail on Friday, the NBA player is supposedly expecting a baby boy with Maralee Nichols, a 31-year-old personal trainer who has since moved from Houston to Los Angeles. The outlet describes Nichols as Thompson’s former friend.

The papers also allege that the baby was conceived in Houston during Thompson’s 30th birthday celebrations in March. At this time, The Daily Mail noted that Thompson was still in a relationship with on-again, off-again girlfriend Khloé Kardashian, with whom he shares daughter True, 3.

In a declaration dated August 5, Thompson says Nichols drove him to a birthday event in her Maserati sportscar. When they returned to the hotel, he says Nichols said she had “a special birthday surprise” for him — which he admitted he knew would be sex.

Though Nichols’ lawyers say their affair began five months before his 30th birthday celebration, Thompson claims he and Nichols only became intimate that night and the next morning.

“When we got to my hotel room, we immediately had sexual intercourse. [Nichols] initiated our sexual contact and never objected to our having sexual intercourse. She was very awake and conscious and did not exhibit any signs that she was other than a willing participant in our sexual activities,” he wrote.

“We did not drink at my hotel room and Petitioner was not drunk. After we had sexual intercourse, Petitioner specifically asked me if she could spend the night because it was my ‘special birthday’ as she called it. I told her I had to get up early in the morning but she said it would not be an issue for her. After we had sexual intercourse, we went to bed. We were both naked sleeping with one another.”

The next day, Thompson says “before I left the hotel, we had sexual intercourse again in the morning.”

On the day of his birthday, March 13, Kardashian — who had celebrated Thompson’s 30th days earlier — posted a message on social media singing his praises.

“The ones that are meant to be are the ones who go through everything that is designed to tear them apart and they come out even stronger than they were before,” Khloé wrote, adding, “Thank you for showing me everything you said you would. For the father you are. For the best friend I have in you. I’m thankful that I can do absolutely nothing with you and it feels like everything.”

Per Daily Mail, Nichols was reportedly already pregnant with Thompson’s alleged baby when Kardashian posted her note.

On June 30, Nichols filed her lawsuit against Thompson, asking for child support as well as reimbursement of medical expenses and pregnancy-related costs such as Lamaze classes, a doula, and prenatal vitamins.

Nichols is also asking Thompson to pay for the baby boy’s costs including newborn clothing, formula, and diapers.

Per The Daily Mail, Thompson wants the case moved to Texas to allegedly limit the amount of child support Nichols can be awarded. The outlet also says he is insisting on taking a paternity test once the child is born.

Additionally, Thompson insists Nichols was a resident of Texas at the time of conception and accuses her of “venue shopping,” a possible reference to her move to Los Angeles.

In May, TMZ reported that Thompson and Kardashian broke up — shortly after a woman named Sydney Chase made allegations that she and Tristan had hooked up.

Thompson has also been accused of cheating on Khloé with former Kardashian family friend Jordyn Woods, who has denied the allegations, instead claiming it was a goodbye kiss that he initiated.
