Maralee Nichols and Tristan Thompson’s son is growing up so fast.
The fitness influencer recently shared video of her baby boy’s major milestone.
Sadly, his father, TT, is a non-existent father to his one-year-old with Nichols. She gave birth to Theo on December 1, 2021.
Maralee Nichols Gives Update On Baby Theo
The NBA star’s paternity scandal with Nichols broke in November 2021 while he was exclusively dating Khloe.
At the time, no one but Khloe and Tristan knew, but they had just done an embryo transfer with their surrogate to have another baby together.
Little did Khloe know that around this same time, Nichols was pregnant with TT’s baby and about to pop.
Major drama ensued, lawsuits were filed and Thompson tried to deny it was his.
A paternity test proved the NBA player’s denial to be an absolute LIE!
Tristan's Paternity Denial Was A Lie!
Anyways, Thompson has decided NOT to "amicably" raise their son. He's not involved in Theo and Nichols’ life.
She seemingly shaded TT’s decision via her Instagram Story. Nichols shared a video of Theo walking in a kid’s play area.The caption read, “My baby is walking everywhere now ?.”
Baby Theo Is Walking Now
The Blast previously reported on Thompson having to pay retroactive child support to Nichols for his months of avoiding paying it.
Following a brief court appearance last year, he is required to pay $9,500 in child support a month. TT also reportedly paid his baby mama’s legal fees and of course, he let her have full custody of the baby.
This culmination comes after the two have been in a legal battle for just over a year pertaining to paternity and support.
Thompson’s lawyer released a statement to Us Weekly insisting that the basketball player is cooperating and “is paying, and has paid, child support to Ms. Nichols retroactive to the date she delivered the child.”
The lawyer’s statement came after Nichols’s attorney claimed that “despite news reports stating otherwise, Tristan Thompson has done nothing to support their son. He has not made any attempt to meet their son nor has he provided any financial assistance.”
An insider also backed up this claim from the fitness influencer saying, “Tristan is very absent from Theo’s life. He hasn’t met Theo nor has he initiated any meetings.”
Another father who has remained absent since their child’s birth is Paris Hilton’s husband, Carter Reum.
Reum has a 10-year-old girl named Evie whom he hasn’t seen since she was born.
He had the little girl with reality TV star Laura Bellizzi.
They dated in 2011, but split before she found out she was pregnant. Sadly, he hasn’t been a part of her life at all, and he’s had no contact with her since she was born.
Carter Reum Also Has An Estranged Love Child
According to Daily Mail, Reum abandoned Evie and her mother in the delivery room.
“Within minutes of her arrival, he held her, kissed her on the forehead, handed her back to her mother and left. Evie has not seen nor heard from Carter since.”
He does pay child support, but her lifestyle is nowhere near comparable to Reum’s lifestyle.
A source close to Belizzi toldDaily Mail, “It's not even close. He buys fancy trips and diamonds for his wife and a million-dollar nursery for his newborn.”
Well now, the 10-year-old is worrying that her half-brother will get the same treatment that she did… abandonment.
“Carter has never once acknowledged Evie or given her so much as a birthday card or a Christmas present,” the source explained. “He has never given her even one gift.”
His daughter reportedly “just wants a relationship with him.”
In an open letter obtained by DM, Evie wrote to her father following his multi-million-dollar wedding to Hilton. She expressed her desire to reconcile with Reum.
The letter read, “Dear dad, how are you? I would just like to say a few things and I would really like if we could actually have a relationship and I would like to give you a second chance even though you have hurt me so much. I would also like to meet the rest of my family. I still have hurt and anger to work through, but I'm trying to set it aside. Because if you choose to respond to me I will be so happy. If you don't, my heart will still be broken, but I know you will really be missing out because I'm awesome. I love you, Evie.”
Sadly, Reum never responded.
