Tristan Thompson’s Alleged Baby Mama Maralee Nichols Breaks Silence About Their Secret Relationship: He Told Me He Was Single
Tristan Thompson’s Alleged Baby Mama Maralee Nichols Breaks Silence About Their Secret Relationship: He Told Me He Was Single
Maralee Nichols is finally speaking out about her secret relationship with NBA star Tristan Thompson. This comes just a day after Tristan’s paternity case was dismissed in Texas. As previously reported, the paternity battle between Tristan and Maralee ended Thursday (12/16), when a judge dismissed the case. Maralee allegedly filed the lawsuit in California back in June–where she claims the sexual meetings and conception of the child took place. Tristan countered with his own suit against her in Texas, in July. Since a judge ruled to dismiss Tristan’s case in Texas, it’s likely that Maralees’ lawsuit will be handled in California.
Reportedly, Maralee Nichols is now ready to open about the alleged affair. The fitness model released a lengthy statement on Friday (12/17) detailing their relationship in hopes of providing clarity and to “defend her character”. Maralee said,
“Over the past couple of weeks, many inaccurate and false stories have been circulated about me. 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. 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.”
With numerous rumors and “fake stories” swirling around, it appears Maralee wants to set the record straight.
“These are the facts: I have lived in California since 2019. I am not a personal trainer. I have not worked as a personal trainer for four years; I do fitness modeling. I was never a personal trainer for Trian.”
She reveals when she and Tristan first met and claims Tristan assured her that he was single and no longer dating Khloe Kardashian.
“I met Tristan in 2020 at a party at his home in Encino, California. He told me he was single and co-parenting… I would never have gotten involved with Tristan if I thought he was in a relationship.”
Reportedly, Nichols said her relationship continued with Tristan Thompson and he invited her to see him on Christmas, New Years and his birthday in March.
“I saw Tristan in March 2021 around his birthday. He told me he had wanted to see me. I agreed to meet him in Houston at a private party on March 12. I never drove a Maserati to meet Tristan, as he claimed. He has never even been in my vehicle. I used an Uber or was driven by friends that weekend. Houston was one of many nights we spent together. Soon after his birthday weekend in Houston, Tristan invited me to visit him in Boston.”
According to sources, Maralee learned she was pregnant a few weeks after her trip to Boston to see Tristan. She claims she told the Sacramento Kings player about her pregnancy in North Carolina after he invited her to see him at the end of April.
In her statement, Maralee claims she did “everything possible” not to draw attention to herself throughout her pregnancy, including taking down her Instagram page and not posting on social media.
“I wanted to keep my pregnancy private and as peaceful as possible. I have never sought media attention for my pregnancy, and I wish that I did not even have to send this statement.”
Contrary to popular belief, Maralee says she does not want any “further media attention” and wants to live a private life with her child.
“I gave birth on December 1, 2021. Instead of focusing on any negativity, I am choosing to embrace being a mother and doing the best I can for my son. I do not want any further media attention, nor do I want a romantic relationship with Tristan. My goal is to raise our son in a safe, healthy, loving and private environment.”
