Putting her son first. Maralee Nichols isn’t spending time worrying about Tristan Thompson and Khloé Kardashian’s recent baby news, a source reveals to Us Weekly.
“She’s truly focused on raising Theo,” the insider tells Us about Nichols, 31, who shares the 7-month-old baby boy with Thompson, 31. The source also notes that the fitness instructor is making “navigating motherhood as a single mom” her main priority.
The update on the Texas native comes after Us confirmed that the Kardashians star, 38, is expecting a second child via surrogate, a baby boy, with the NBA player.
“We can confirm True will have a sibling,” a rep for the Good American founder told Us in a statement on Wednesday, July 13. “Khloé is incredibly grateful to the extraordinary surrogate for such a beautiful blessing. We’d like to ask for kindness and privacy so that Khloé can focus on her family.”
The exes first planted the embryos in November 2021 — when Nichols, unbeknownst to Khloé, was already pregnant with Thompson’s child. Nichols gave birth to son Theo one month later.
“[Tristan] went through finding a surrogate and all that while he was cheating on [Khloé] and that’s unforgivable to her” a source told Us. While the Strong Looks Better Naked author has found ways to amicably coparent 4-year-old daughter True with the Chicago Bulls player, the two have not otherwise conversed since December 2021.
“Khloé and Tristan [are] not speaking outside of coparenting, that is the only communication they have anymore, the insider told Us on Wednesday. “Tristan has realized that he’s a parental figure to True and the new baby and that’s he is to Khloé right now.”
Nichols, however, can’t say the same of the Canada native, who allegedly has never met their little one.
