Tristan Thompson’s latest baby momma Maralee Nichols has named their son but has a reason why she left Tristan’s name off the child’s birth certificate. In a statement to Page Six, Nichols says that Tristan Thompson wasn’t present during the birth of their son, hence leaving his name on his birth certificate.
Maralee Nichols named her and Tristan Thompson’s son Theo — which means ‘Gift from God.’
Maralee Nichols revealed the name of her son with the NBA baller — Theo — in a statement to Page Six Wednesday, adding that she left Thompson’s name off the baby’s birth certificate after he was not present for the birth.
“Theo, my little angel baby,” Nichols’ statement, via her rep Harvey Englander, began. “I named you Theo because it means, ‘Gift from God.’
“I had never been pregnant and had been told I might not be able to have children. I couldn’t believe I was pregnant, when I saw you on the ultrasound and heard your little heartbeat I knew I would always protect you and keep you safe. I love you more than you’ll ever know. You bring such joy and happiness into my life. My greatest blessing.
“Tristan’s name was not on the birth certificate because he was not present at Theo’s birth.”
Nichols, 31, gave birth to Theo in December. Thompson contested Nichols’ paternity claims throughout her pregnancy, but a test eventually proved he fathered the child over his 30th birthday weekend — while he was still dating Khloé Kardashian, with whom he shares a daughter, True, 3.
Wonder if it is short for Theodore? Whatever the case, the DNA tests came back, and we all know that Tristan Thompson is the father, so he will have to come off them checks soon. It is important that Thompson get over whatever beef he has with Nichols and be the best father he can be to his son.
Kids don’t decide who their parents are. They are innocent in all of this.
