NEWSTristan Thompson Maintains He Will 'Not Be Seeking Custody Of Visitation' If Proven To Be The Father Of Maralee Nichols' Newborn Baby
Dec. 15 2021, Published 11:21 a.m. ET
Tristan Thompson is not planning on being part of his alleged new baby's life.
Earlier this month, it was revealed that the NBA star — who is widely known for being the father of Khloé Kardashian's 3-year-old daughter True — allegedly fathered a child with personal trainer Maralee Nichols while still dating the reality star. (It should be noted that Thompson is also widely known for being unfaithful to the KUWTK alum.)
According to a report from Radar, the 30-year-old admitted to having sexual relations with Nichols in recent court documents, although he still insisted on getting a paternity test.
The basketball player confirmed in the docs that he, "will not be seeking custody of visitation," if the child — who was born Friday, December 3 — is proven to be his. However, Thompson is still skeptical of Nichols' story after she maintained the two were hooking up for several months before they allegedly conceived their baby boy.
As OK! reported, Thompson admitted he did have sexual intercourse with Nichols while in Houston, Tex., earlier this year, but claimed the two were not serious, and that Nichols "understood the limitations of our relationship."
He also tried disputing the Snapchat messages Nichols previously submitted to the court, where the athlete was allegedly "threatening" and bribing her to terminate the pregnancy.
"Btw if you think having this baby is gonna make you some money. It's completely wrong," Tristan allegedly wrote. "You are aware that I'm retiring after this season. So in terms of support it will be whatever is required monthly for someone who's unemployed."

Nichols filed a child support lawsuit against Thompson over the summer. The Sacramento Kings player then filed his own suit, accusing his side chick of trying to win more child support money by moving from Texas to California — where his other two baby mamas live. Thompson also shares 4-year-old son Prince with ex Jordan Craig.
"It's texas so it will be only a couple hundred dollars," he allegedly added in the scathing Snapchat messages. "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," the messages continued. "All you will have is a baby with a father who has zero involvement with the child and a few hundred dollars of child support a month."
Thompson maintained the messages are fabricated, although the court has yet to rule on the matter. However, Thompson confirmed he only communicated with the new mama through his Snapchat username 'blkjesus00.' The conversations were allegedly only about where and when the two would meet up to have sex.
Thompson alleged Nichols could "easily create a fabricated conversation with a person other than Thompson (including herself) by using two different devices and by using the contact name 'TT. There is no way to authenticate what username is sending the messages from the pictures of the Snapchat messages provided by Nichols from 'TT.''
Meanwhile, Thompson has been getting bashed by the media for his involvement in yet another scandal after cheating on Kardashian multiple times throughout their relationship.
As OK! previously reported, the Good American cofounder was left wondering why "this keeps happening" to her after Thompson's latest cheating scandal was brought to light. Despite her apparent upset, the TV personality has yet to publicly address the situation directly.
