Tristan Thompson’s Third Child Is Here And He Reportedly Wants A Paternity Test
Tristan Thompson is back in the news and, unfortunately for him, it’s never about his basketball skills! Just a few days ago, it was revealed that pro cheater Tristan got it on with Maralee Nichols, a personal trainer from Texas, on his 30th birthday in March which ultimately led to the conception of his third child and a whole world of messiness! Super math geniuses noted that the timeline of the pregnancy took place while Tristan was still with Khloe Kardashian who defended him against the cheating rumors at the time (she’s known for plastic surgery, not being astute!). Get ready for the next big Kardashian storyline (Pimp Mama Kris can’t have people remembering Astroworld, can she now?), because Tristan has hit back demanding a paternity test!
On Friday we learned that Maralee filed a lawsuit against Tristan this past summer, claiming that he made a baby with her and she wants child support. Us Weekly says that the baby was born on Thursday. Well, now Radar Online reports that Tristan isn’t sure that he IS the father:
According to court documents obtained by Radar, the NBA star filed a paternity lawsuit against Houston-based Maralee Nichols in July, weeks after she slapped him with legal papers in California. He filed using his middle name of Trevor instead of Tristan.
In the filing, Tristan demanded the case be heard in Texas and not in California, where the court could award higher child support. He noted that the child is set to be born this month.
Tristan also told the court that the child was conceived during sexual intercourse in Texas. At the time, he demanded a DNA test be done to determine if he was the father. In docs filed in October, Tristan was still seeking a test once the child is born.
“TRISTAN is skeptical as to his paternity of MARALEE’s unborn child,” the docs read.
Tristan is approaching it from all angles. Not only is he “skeptical” of who the baby’s father actually is, but he’s also hedging his bets so that he doesn’t have to pay as much child support in case the baby IS his. But much like Tristan on his 30th birthday, Maralee is going in hard and not pulling out from the situation!
Maralee fired back demanding the case be heard in California and not Texas. She said she didn’t live in Texas nor did Tristan. She also blasted him for trying to have the case in Texas despite his two other baby mamas living in California.
Maralee accused Tristan of wanting the case in Texas to try and save him money on child support. She even included a text he wrote her 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. 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. It’s Texas so it will be only a couple hundred dollars.”
He added, “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.”
$75,000 from a soon-to-be unemployed man to a woman who is supposedly not having his baby? What a kind, giving soul that Tristan is! This text exchange certainly reflects well on him. Meanwhile, Tristan’s ex Khloe took to Instagram to not address the debacle and simply posted a screenshot with some life advice on Instagram Stories:
While that’s a nice series of words, she could’ve just cut to the chase and posted, “Life advice: while dating a serial cheater is great for ratings, it’s pretty bad for your personal life! xoxo.”
