Tristan Thompson has reportedly welcomed his third child with personal trainer Maralee Nichols. The controversial NBA star’s baby was reportedly conceived in Houston, Texas on the occasion of his 30th birthday celebrations in March. The Sacramento Kings player was dating Khloe Kardashian with whom he already shares a three-year-old daughter when the baby was born.

Maralee Nichols, who is a fitness enthusiast, has filed a paternity lawsuit. In the documents obtained by the Daily Mail, she had revealed that the baby was due to give birth to a baby boy on December 3. She even took to her official Instagram account to share a pic of an ultrasound writing “38 week ultrasound this morning, my boy is looking so much like his mama.” According to the latest report obtained by TMZ, Tristan Thompson offered Maralee Nichols $75,000 to stay mum about the baby. Tristan was brutally slammed on Twitter after social media users said that they fear that his ex-flame Khloe Kardashian might take him back again. The 30-year-old basketball pro had also made headlines for his relationship with another baby mama identified as Jordan Craig.

Who is Maralee Nichols?

Maralee Nichols is a personal trainer who hails from Houston, Texas. She is 31-year-old and has spent most of her life in Texas. She reportedly also keeps a keen interest in real estate. According to the photos shared by Daily Mail on their official site, Nichols appeared to be heavily pregnant when she was clicked in November in Los Angeles. A text message allegedly sent by Tristan also got public that read, “You know how I feel. My feelings haven't changed at all. Won't be involved at all. Btw if you think having this baby is gonna make you some money. It's completely wrong.”
 
It apparently further read, “You are aware that I'm retiring after this season. So in terms of support it will be whatever is required monthly or someone who's unemployed. It's texas (sic) so it will be only a couple hundred dollars. So you better off taking this 75k I'm offering cause you won't get nothing near that with having a kid with a father who's unemployed.” Speaking of the lawsuit filed by Nichols, it states that she “drove him to the event in her Maserati sportscar" before they headed back to his hotel where she "had a special birthday surprise" for the athlete.  The fling between the two apparently began "five months" prior to birthday evening. If we talk about Khloe and Tristan, the two parted their ways in May after a woman named Sydney Chase made allegations she and Tristan had hooked up.
