As we previously reported, Maralee Nichols and Tristan Thompson’s journey to parenthood has been quite rocky. Tristan initially denied sleeping with Maralee on more than one occasion, and found himself publicly apologizing to Khloe Kardashian once it was confirmed that he fathered a son with Maralee.
He penned a message to Khloe on Instagram back in January.
“Today, paternity test results reveal that I fathered a child with Maralee Nichols,” he wrote. “I take full responsibility for my actions. Now that paternity has been established I look forward to amicably raising our son. Khloe you don’t deserve this. You don’t deserve the heartache and humiliation I have caused you. You don’t deserve the way I have treated you over the years.”
“My actions certainly have not lined up with the way I view you,” Tristan continued. “I have the utmost respect and love for you. Regardless of what you may think. Again, I am so sorry.”
