Tristan Thompson has started taking up full responsibility for the child he fathered with Maralee Nichols as he has been paying child support for their son Theo. Cheating comes with responsibilities and Tristan is obviously prepared for those tasks.
According to Page Six;
Tristan Thompson has been paying Maralee Nichols child support despite their ongoing family court lawsuit, Page Six can exclusively reveal.
An attorney for Thompson informed Page Six in a legal letter sent late Wednesday that the NBA free agent “is paying, and has paid, child support to Ms. Nichols retroactive to the date she delivered the child.”
Nichols gave birth to their son, Theo, on Dec. 1, 2021.
Earlier this year, a rep for Nichols claimed in a statement that Thompson had “done nothing” and provided zero “financial assistance,” but he since has repaid the money owed.
While the basketball player may be ponying up the funds, a source tells us that he has yet to bond with his baby boy.
“Tristan has still made no attempt to meet his 8-month-old son, Theo,” our insider shares. “It was not until recently that Tristan started paying child support.”
Nichols filed a paternity lawsuit against Thompson, 31, in June 2021 for child support, claiming he had impregnated her over his 30th birthday weekend that March — when he was still romantically involved with Khloé Kardashian. The athlete vehemently denied being the father until a DNA test proved otherwise.
“Today, paternity test results reveal that I fathered a child with Maralee Nichols,” he wrote in a statement posted to social media in January. “I take full responsibility for my actions. Now that paternity has been established I look forward to amicably raising our son.”
This is why it is wild to me when Khloe Kardashian calls Tristan Thompson a great dad when he has a whole son that he knows is his that he refuses to see.
The math is not adding up.
