What Khloe didn’t know at the time in October was that Tristan had cheated on her yet again, with personal trainer Maralee Nichols.
Nichols filed a paternity lawsuit against Thompson in June 2021, though it wasn’t reported publicly until December 2021.
Nichols had claimed that their child – who was born in December 2021 – was conceived on Tristan’s 30th birthday on March 13.

The NBA player flew with his team – the Boston Celtics – to Houston on the 13th, for a game against the Houston Rockets on the 14th, with the child reportedly conceived that night.
Thompson had known about Nichols’ pregnancy, with uncovered texts revealing he offered her $75K to keep quiet about the pregnancy.
A paternity test confirmed Thompson was the father, his third child along with three-year-old daughter True with Khloe and five-year-old son Prince with ex Jordan Craig.
