Maralee Nichols posted pointed pictures of her and Tristan Thompson’s son, Theo, as the athlete celebrated his other baby boy with Khloé Kardashian.
While Thompson got dragged over the weekend for “favoring” Tatum, Nichols gave a glimpse of her cuddly night with Theo.
In her Saturday social media upload, she closed her eyes and smiled as her 1-year-old slept on her shoulder.
The mother-son duo went on to spent Sunday at the beach, with Nichols showing off the sunset and their sandy stroll on her Instagram Story.
Since the trainer gave birth to her little one in December 2021, Thompson has not publicly acknowledged Theo — besides admitting his paternity in January 2022.
The 32-year-old power forward has, however, gushed over his and Kardashian’s son, Tatum, who turned 1 on Friday.
Thompson posted two smiling shots with the birthday boy on Saturday, praising his “sweet soul.”
“You are a reminder of what life represents to me,” the Los Angeles Lakers player gushed via Instagram. “You have taught me every loss comes a lesson and you are my gift. You are my reminder of all of God’s messages. You are the reason that I began my story.
“The mistakes along the way are lessons not failures. There is no expiration date to reinventing yourself,” he continued. “You are a future king my son and I am so blessed to be your DaDa!”
The NBA player also attended Tatum’s space-themed party at his on-again, off-again girlfriend’s home.
His Instagram followers blasted him for not showing the same effort when Theo turned 1 in December 2022.

“Not cool to just embrace some and not all of your children no matter who gave birth to them!” one social media user wrote. “Pure reflection of who you really are as a human being Tristan.”
Another accused him of “pick[ing] and choos[ing] who to be a good dad to.”
Thompson was in a relationship with Kardashian when he cheated on her with Nichols and fathered Theo.
By the time the Good American co-creator — and the rest of the world — found out about his infidelity, Thompson had already started the surrogacy process with Kardashian and conceived Tatum.
As the duo now co-parent the toddler and his 5-year-old sister, True, Kardashian has made it clear that there is “no chance” she will reconcile her romantic relationship with Thompson.
That being said, Kardashian did support her ex when his mom, Andrea Thompson, died in January, even letting him and his brother Amari move in with her.
On Wednesday, the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” alum defended throwing a 17th birthday party for Amari, writing that she didn’t see “the problem.”
She and Thompson began dating in 2016. Their relationship was rocked by cheating scandals during Kardashian’s pregnancy with True in 2018 and again in 2019 when he kissed Jordyn Woods. After multiple reunions, they broke up for good in 2021.
