TRISTAN Thompson enjoyed a sweet night out with daughter True amid Maralee Nichols’ claims he’s given ‘no child support’ for their baby boy.
The NBA player fathered a child with the fitness trainer following a long affair.
On Thursday, Tristan posted a video of himself and True, 3, out to dinner.
The tot appeared to be tucking into her meal, while Tristan looked on, speaking into the camera.
“You’re destroying it,” he wrote.
The caption over the clip read: “My favorite type of date nights.”
Tristan pretended to eat at one point, smiling as he filmed himself and his daughter.
The pair have been spending a significant amount of time together as of late.
The outing came amid some loft claims from Tristan’s baby mama, Maralee.
MONEY PROBLEMS
Maralee opened up about raising her son during an interview with Us Weekly, gushing: “I love caring for my son daily and tending to his needs.
“It is so rewarding. I never knew I could love someone so much. He brings such joy into my life and is my greatest blessing.”
The model confessed that she “face[s] difficulties” when it comes to raising her baby boy all alone.
She told the magazine: “I am the sole caretaker for my son, and I will do everything in my power to make sure he is provided for.
“I will be the best mommy I can be. I love playing with him and making him laugh. He has the cutest smile and is always so happy. I also love reading to him and rocking him to sleep. He is so cuddly.”
Maralee added that the baby – whose name she hasn’t yet revealed – has a “sweet personality” and is a “ray of sunshine.”
She told Us: “He is always smiling and laughing. He is very strong and big for his age and could hold his head up before he was one month. When I talk to him, he tries to say the words that I am saying.
“He loves being on FaceTime and will laugh and smile and really try and communicate. It is too cute.”
CUT THE CHECK
Maralee talked about her son not long after she alleged that Tristan has not yet paid any child support.
Maralee‘s representative claimed the Canadian-born athlete has “done nothing” to support his son, despite reportedly being ordered to pay her $40,000 a month.
“Despite news reports stating otherwise, Tristan Thompson has done nothing to support his son,” Harvey Englander told Page Six.
“He has not made any attempt to meet their son nor has he provided any financial assistance.”
The claims come after New York marriage lawyer Morghan Leia Richardson told HollywoodLife that Tristan will have to pay up until the infant turns 18.
“Reports show that his income is about $10million so based on that number, and the report that he’s paying $40k per month for his son [Prince] when I run the calculator, I get an estimate of $34k per month.”
Tristan is already shelling out support to his first child, five-year-old son Prince, whom he shares with his ex Jordan Craig.
He also has a daughter True, three, with Khloe Kardashian.
