Maralee Nichols has revealed the name of her and Tristan Thompson’s son.
The personal trainer gave birth to a baby boy on December 1st 2021, and a paternity test later confirmed that Tristan is the father.
Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, Maralee shared a photo of her cradling her son, and revealed she named him Theo.

She wrote: “Theo, my little angel baby. 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.”
In a statement to Page Six, Maralee added: “Tristan’s name was not on the birth certificate because he was not present at Theo’s birth.”
The personal trainer launched her paternity suit against Tristan on June 30, after insisting he’s the father of her son.
In court documents, Tristan acknowledged that he had sex with Maralee at a hotel in Houston, Texas in March 2021, but questioned whether he was really the father of her baby and requested a paternity test.
It is believed Tristan was still dating Khloé Kardashian at the time he had sex with Maralee, as she threw him a 30th birthday party that month and posted a sweet tribute to him on Instagram.
After the results of the paternity test confirmed Tristan was the baby’s father, he said he was “looking forward to amicably raising” his and Maralee’s son.
Earlier this month, Maralee’s rep revealed claimed that “despite news reports stating otherwise, Tristan Thompson has done nothing to support his son”.
The rep added: “He has not made any attempt to meet their son nor has he provided any financial assistance.”
Tristan is also father to a 5-year-old son called Prince, who he shares with ex Jordan, a 3-year-old daughter named True, who he shares with Khloe.
