Tristan Thompson snubbed by baby mama Maralee Nichols & Kardashian family on 31st birthday amid love child scandal

Tristan celebrated his birthday on Sunday, sharing some of the many kind messages he received from friends on social media.
Stars like Drake and more wished the Chicago Bulls player a happy birthday.
Maralee and Khloe – both of whom he has children with – were quiet, however.
None of Khloe’s famous friends or family members wished Tristan a happy birthday either.
The Canadian-born athlete, meanwhile, wished his Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum ex’s BFF Malika Haqq a happy birthday days earlier.
It’s unclear if Khloe, Maralee, or his first baby mama Jordan Craig wished him well privately.
The relationship between Tristan and Khloe and Tristan and Maralee has been strained.
He was dating Khloe when he conceived a baby with his fitness model mistress on his birthday in 2021.

Prior to giving birth to son Theo in December of that year, Maralee sued Tristan for support.
She has since claimed that he has not paid up, nor has he attempted to be in his son’s life.
A new filing contained an even more shocking revelation.
WEDDING BELLS?
Maralee, 31, filed new documents including Snapchat exchanges between herself and Tristan discussing his relationship to Khloe and the child he fathered.
The fitness model submitted documents on March 4, according to Us Weekly, which contained Snapchat messages allegedly sent by Tristan in 2021.
While he has argued that the messages are fake, Maralee’s lawyers say they are proof of his “unwillingness” and “refusal” to support his son.
In one message allegedly sent in April 2021, Maralee wrote: “You literally just told me you are engaged and are trying to be with your family… I didn’t even know you were engaged. You have a record of treating me like absolutely crap and this whole situation has been upsetting.”
He also wrote at the time: “Just a heads up me and my fiancé [sic] gonna announce publicly about our marriage.
“Just a heads up. We probably moving out the country in September and live either in Europe or Caribbean. Better living for us and our family away from the bs of America.”
Maralee gave birth to son Theo in December 2021. She sued Tristan for support prior to giving birth.
In January 2022, Tristan confirmed he was the child’s father and issued a public apology to Khloe.
Maralee later claimed that Tristan “has done nothing to support” her or Theo.
Her rep issued a statement in February saying: “He has not made any attempt to meet their son nor has he provided any financial assistance.”
SUPPORT SCANDAL
As part of the same new legal filing, Maralee claimed that the Chicago Bulls player has an “income of $9.7million alone.”
The trainer has requested a “guideline monthly child support of $47,424.”
She has asked the court to order Tristan to pay her legal fees, which have exceeded $1million.
She claimed that the baby “and I are living at a far depressed standard of living than Tristan.”
Tristan’s former mistress claimed her “expenses will resume once Theo gets older and Covid-19 restrictions are lifted.”
“I have made a tremendous effort to reduce my spending. Previously, my average month’s expenses for clothing were in excess of $5,000 a month.”
Maralee accused her former lover of living a “lavish celebrity lifestyle” while she has reportedly been staying at an apartment with a roommate.
Tristan and Khloe share 3-year-old daughter True.
He is also the father of 5-year-old son Prince with ex Jordan Craig, whom he currently pays child support.
Maralee gave birth to Tristan’s third child in December 2021, after the pair battled it out in court.
Back in January, he admitted in a lengthy Instagram post that he is the father of Maralee’s child.
SPEAK ON IT
Recently, Khloe opened up to Variety, revealing that her family’s upcoming Hulu series will delve into Tristan’s infidelity.
She told the magazine: “It will be addressed on the show. We try as a family to protect the privacy of our partners or significant others since they didn’t really sign up for this; we did.
“But if something is really public like this was, it would be strange if Tristan was a part of the show and then all of a sudden he disappears and we don’t ever talk about it.”
