Almost a month after Tristan Thompson confirmed he fathered a child with Maralee Nichols, their son’s name has been revealed. Along with the name, the fitness model explained the meaning behind her son’s name. Maralee also clarified a recent report that Tristan was not listed as the father on the child’s birth certificate.
Taking to Instagram, Maralee Nichols shared two snaps of her and her son. With the snaps, Maralee revealed that her newborn baby’s name is Theo. While explaining she revealed that Theo means ‘Gift from God.’ The fitness model penned in the caption, Theo, my little angel baby. I named you Theo because it means, ‘Gift from God.’ I had never been pregnant before and had been told I might not be able to have children.
Maralee Nichols then continues in the caption, “I couldn’t believe I was pregnant, when I saw you on the ultrasound and heard your little heartbeat I knew I would always protect you and keep you safe. I love you more than you’ll ever know. You bring such joy and happiness into my life. My greatest blessing.”
Meanwhile, While speaking to DailyMail, she directly addressed a report from E! News, which revealed that Tristan was not listed as the father on Theo’s birth certificate. “Tristan’s name was not on the birth certificate because he was not present at Theo’s birth,” Maralee explained to the outlet.
However, the long-awaited name reveal comes after a representative for Maralee confirmed that the professional basketball player has ‘not’ paid her a dime in child support since his birth. “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,” her rep told Entertainment Tonight.
