Maralee Nichols has returned to social media with a suspicious update following her baby daddy Tristan Thompson’s legal drama with his ex-girlfriend.
The fitness influencer has been silent on the media since August 6, when she last shared sweet moments with her son, Theo Thompson. However, she recently made her Instagram comeback with sexy posts and captions that appeared to address her ex’s child support issues.
The basketball player welcomed his first child, Prince Thompson, with internet personality Jordan Craig in 2016. That same year, the athlete was romantically linked to Khloé Kardashian, with whom he has two children — a daughter named True and a son a man named Tatum.

The fitness model commemorated her return to Instagram with stunning images of her toned body. The mother-of-one shared a photo of her famous derrière in a small group that stops just below her rear.
The colorful number features a cut-out back and a sleeveless design that accentuates the media personality’s curves. Nichols posed with her back to the camera, showing off her long legs in a mini dress as she stood on the stairs.
“Drink water, eat your vegetables, and mind your own business,” the social media influencer captioned the teasing update. Her words seemed to reflect her thoughts on Thompson’s child support issues with Craig. The legal troubles of the basketball player and his baby mama are exposed following reports of a $40,000 settlement.
Legal documents obtained by The Daily Mail reveal the former Boston Celtics member pays Craig a $40,000 monthly bill in child support for their son Prince. While there’s no reason to suspect that Tristan has missed any payments so far, his ex-girlfriend isn’t taking any chances.
Craig reportedly filed an “abstract of judgment” in Los Angeles. The document serves as a public record if a debt, which in Craig’s case was child support payments, is not paid off by her child’s father.
The filing of that social media influence appears to be his insurance, given the significant drop in Thompson’s salary. Since the former couple’s split, the athlete’s reported annual salary of $17.7 million has dwindled to $9.2 million.

The NBA star reportedly pays the mother of three $120,000 a month in child support to her children. Before Craig filed for the $40,000 payout for his son, the athlete was in a heated paternity battle against Nichols in 2021.
The months-long case saw the basketball player fight to prove he did not have a child with the model after cheating on Kardashian. However, he was forced to publicly apologize to the reality TV star in January 2022 after a paternity test identified him as Theo’s biological father.
In addition, Nichols sued Thompson for child support and accused him of trying to buy her silence for $75,000. The duo’s case ended with the basketball player shelling out $9,500 a month in child support, and his baby mama ending up with sole custody of their son.
Maralee Nichols Steals Son With Love Following Tristan Thompson’s Tribute To His Son With Khloé Kardashian
Before Nichols returned to social media, the mother of one appeared to voice her ex’s favoritism towards her children with Kardashian. The model proved she was enough to ensure Theo grew up in a loving home following the Canadian athlete’s absence from the boy’s life.
On her Instagram Story, the Houston native shared a heartfelt video set to Bobby McFerrin’s iconic 1988 song “Don’t Worry Be Happy.” In the clip, the child is seen having fun on the beach while his mother films him from behind.
The words “Beach Help” flashed in blue neon lights at the bottom of the screen. The caption, along with the famous happy song, seems to convey Nichols’ desire to have fun with Theo, with or without the NBA star. Nichol’s post came after his birthday tribute to his other son.
Thompson celebrated her son and Kardashian, Tatum’s first birthday, with a lengthy message about how the little boy has positively impacted her life. In his statement, the Canadian described the celebration as a powerful reminder of his “gift of God,” his “future king,” and his “gift.”
The media personality’s tribute drew backlash, with some fans calling out the entertainer for celebrating one son while ignoring the other. One commenter quipped: “It’s not okay to hug some and not all of your children, no matter who gave birth to them!”
