Maralee Nichols shares new pic of son Theo on basketball court like dad Tristan Thompson as star ‘refuses to meet’ him
MARALEE Nichols has shared a new pic of her son, Theo, taking after his dad, Tristan Thompson, on the basketball court.
This as the Los Angeles Laker player still has not met the one-year-old.
Maralee shared the sweet snap to her Instagram Stories.
The fitness model has been giving glimpses at the toddler online, recently showing him enjoying the oncoming summer weather.
Standing behind her son so as not to show off his face, the 33-year-old mom captured a memory of Theo walking on a neighborhood basketball court.
Theo had some baby Nike's on, along with some light blue shorts and dark blue shirt.
His curly hair was growing well on top of his head.
The toddler reached high into the air, pointing at the rim of the hoop as if to imitate his absentee dad.
Marlee later shared a video of Theo enjoying some water activities at the local park.
POOL IT
Earlier this month, Maralee posted snapshots of herself and her son swimming in a pool together.

In the Instagram Story posts, Maralee had on a sleeveless black one-piece and hid her eyes behind white sunglasses.
Theo, meanwhile, covered his head with a blue sailor hat.
He had a floatation device around his waist.
In a subsequent story, Maralee held onto her son as he kicked his legs in the water.
She also shared a brief clip of her swimming lesson with Theo.
Maralee captioned the sweet post: "Can't believe my baby is one and a half," along with a white heart emoji.
CHEATING TRISTAN
Theo was born after Tristan, 32, had an affair with Maralee while the athlete was supposedly in an exclusive relationship with Khloe Kardashian, 38.
According to legal documents from August 2022, the NBA star offered to pay Maralee $75,000 in hush money instead of paying monthly child support.
The Los Angeles Lakers player allegedly told Theo's mother that she would be "better off" with the $75,000 because she wouldn't get much in child support.
When the exes eventually settled their paternity case, Tristan was ordered to pay about $9.5K a month in child support.

Tristan reportedly told the Instagram model that he was uninterested in spending time with Theo and had no intention of getting to know their son.
The basketball star also shares a five-year-old daughter, True, and a nine-month-old son Tatum, with Khloe; and a six-year-old son, Prince, with his ex-Jordan Craig.
