MARALEE Nichols shared a new photo of her son she shares with Tristan Thompson as the two celebrate their first Christmas together without the NBA player.
The Sacramento Kings star was snubbed by the Kardashian family as he was left out of their holiday photoshoot.
Maralee, 31, took to her Instagram stories on Christmas morning to share a photo with her newborn son.
The new mother cradled her baby as they sported matching pajama sets for the special day.
The beautiful brunette sat posed on a festive blanket in front of a white Christmas tree, littered with shiny presents.
Maralee gazed down at her infant son while the family pomeranian stood guard in front.
LEFT OUT
The new photo arrived as Tristan Thompson, 30, received a huge snub from the Kar-Jenner clan.
The NBA player was left out of the family holiday photoshoot after the news broke of his affair with Maralee.
Both Kim and Khloe shared Christmas photos to their respective Instagrams on Friday, in honor of Christmas Eve, and they included all of their kids but neither of their baby daddies.
Khloe made sure to leave Tristan, with whom she shares True, out of all the family photos after he made her feel “embarrassed” due to his latest cheating scandal.
NASTY BATTLE
The father of three is currently in a legal battle with Maralee Nichols over paternity and child support after she gave birth on December 1.
The former fitness instructor quietly filed a lawsuit for financial support against Tristan back in June, claiming that she and the athlete conceived the baby on his birthday in March.
At the time, Khloe and Tristan were still in an “exclusive” relationship.
The Canadian native initially claimed the affair was a one-night thing but has since admitted to meeting up with Maralee several times.
Tristan has not denied being the father of the child, but he did request that a paternity test be completed.
KHLOE’S CRISIS
Khloe is said to be “embarrassed” and “mortified” by Tristan’s behavior.
A source told The Celeb Report recently: “To call Khloe upset would be an understatement.
“Khloe suspected Tristan stepped out on her during Covid but did not know that he invited other women to his home until the legal documents were released.
“She sees his place as an extension of hers, and is mortified now that she knows the mother of his new baby spent time there.”
SERIOUS ALLEGATIONS
Their paternity battle recently took a nasty turn when Tristan accused his newest baby mama of having “herpes” while pregnant.
The basketball star alleged that Nichols‘ “medical reasons” for having designated induced labor earlier this month was due to a sexually transmitted disease, court documents showed.
“Since opening up our private files to the media, I have been contacted by a source confirming that I should be checked because Petitioner [Maralee] has been diagnosed with herpes,” the documents, obtained by Ace Showbiz, stated.
“Therefore, it would make sense that Petitioner had to have a designated delivery date,” they concluded.
However, Maralee denied all claims and fired back: “I was induced on November 29, 2021, because I had a placenta abnormality.
“There is no other medical reason why I needed to be induced,” she countered.
