Tristan Thompson admitted to having a "sporadic," ongoing non-platonic relationship with Maralee Nichols, who is suing him for child support and pregnancy-related bills after claiming they had a kid together.

The NBA star recalled meeting Nichols in late November or early December 2020 at someone's home, according to a court document filed earlier this month and published by the Daily Mail. The NBA star has disputed the paternity of the child, who was born Dec. 1, in a court document filed earlier this month and published by the Daily Mail.

He stated he was "extremely careful" at the time and "did not envision that she and I could have any kind of relationship." During this time, Thompson was publicly dating Khloé Kardashian with whom she shares a 3-year-old daughter, True. He also has a 4-year-old son, Prince with his ex-girlfriend, Jordan Craig.
