Tristan Thompson Has Not Tried To Get Involved In His Son’s Life

Maralee Nichols welcomed a son with NBA player Tristan Thompson, 30, last year. Since then, the sports star has not made any move to be a part of his son’s life.

“Despite news reports stating otherwise, Tristan Thompson has done nothing to support their son. He has not made any attempt to meet their son nor has he provided any financial assistance,” Nichols’ representative wrote in a statement sent to PEOPLE on Tuesday. “In the future we hope that reporters covering this situation contact us to confirm any facts before publishing.”

The statement is coming after reports emerged that the Sacramento Kings player is paying thousands to Nichols, as well as to the other two mothers of his children: Jordan Craig and Khloé Kardashian.

Thompson’s reps have declined to comment on the claims for now.

Tristan Thompson Confirms Son’s Paternity After Previous Disputes

Maralee Nichols welcomed her son on Dec. 1, 2021, releasing her first photo of the boy on Instagram days later.

Last month, Thompson finally confirmed that he was the father of Nichols’ son after previously disputing the boy’s paternity.

“Today, paternity test results reveal that I fathered a child with Maralee Nichols. I take full responsibility for my actions,” he wrote on his Instagram Story at the time. “Now that paternity has been established I look forward to amicably raising our son.”

He further issued a public apology to Kardashian, whom he was in a relationship with when Nichols became pregnant with their son.

“Khloe, you don’t deserve this. You don’t deserve the heartache and humiliations I have caused you,” he added. “You don’t deserve the way I have treated you over the years. My actions certainly have not lined up with the way I view you. I have the utmost respect and love for you. Regardless of what you may think. Again, I am so incredibly sorry.”

Shortly after Thompson’s admission about Nichols’ son’s paternity, Nichols shared her thoughts in a statement sent to PEOPLE.

“There was never any doubt that Tristan Thompson was the father of Maralee Nichols’ baby,” her representative said in a statement to PEOPLE at the time. “Tristan made numerous false and defamatory statements and declarations about Maralee over the past few months, and she is taking his contrite statement today in the context of all of those statements.”

Thompson is also father to Kardashian’s 3-year-old daughter True and Craig’s 5-year-old son Prince.
