Maralee Nichols shares first photo of her son from secret romance with Tristan Thompson… following months-long fling while he was still dating Khloe Kardashian
Maralee Nichols broke her silence on Friday and shared the first photo of the son she had with Tristan Thompson after DailyMail.com exclusively obtained court documents earlier this month claiming they were having a child together.
The fitness model — who gave birth on Dec. 1 — released a statement saying she did ‘everything possible’ to not draw attention to herself throughout the pregnancy, contrary to what Thompson claimed.
Dressed in holiday pajamas and cradling her son underneath a Christmas tree, Nichols wrote that her only ‘goal’ now is ‘raise our son in a safe, healthy, loving and private environment.’
The statement comes a day after Thompson’s set back in their ongoing paternity case, as a judge dismissed his attempt to have the case conducted in Houston, Texas, with the case now likely to be heard in California.
Nichols also claims that Thompson – who was allegedly still in his relationship with Khloe Kardashian at the time of their liaisons – told her he was ‘single and co-parenting.’
Nichols claims Thompson told her at the time that he was ‘not having a sexual relationship with anyone else.’
She said their relationship was ‘not casual sex nor did we have any arrangement. Tristan and I communicated daily and talked on the phone. We would see each other several times a month.’
Thompson shares three-year-old daughter True with Kardashian, and son Prince, five, with ex Jordan Craig.
Speaking to ‘defend her character’ Nichols also denied reports that she has spoken to the media and claimed to set the record straight on ‘inaccuracies’ about the situation.
Nichols told the outlet: ‘I have not at any point released – nor have I directed anyone else to release – any information regarding Tristan Thompson or any litigation involving him.’
She is referring to a previous TMZ report, on how Thompson claimed in the court case that he believes Nichols had violated a confidentiality order the judge orally granted earlier in the case.
Nichols added: ‘I have never spoken to any media outlet, nor have I leaked any information to anyone at any time. I am providing this statement because I feel I must defend my character.’
DailyMail.com has reached out to representatives for Thompson regarding Nichols’ comments, who have so far not responded.
