Maralee Nichols Posts Rare New Photos of Tristan Thompson’s Son Theo on Instagram

Maralee Nichols dropped Instagram post after long time, too long about 67 weeks and it’s worth it.

Maralee Nichols, has delighted fans by sharing rare photos of her son Theo—the child she shares with NBA star Tristan Thompson—on her Instagram Stories. This marks one of the first times in years she’s posted such clear, new glimpses of the now 4-year-old boy, offering a sweet, candid look into their mother-son bond.

In the adorable snaps, Theo appears in relaxed, everyday moments—likely enjoying outdoor fun, perhaps at the beach or in playful settings, capturing his growing personality and that unmistakable Thompson family resemblance.

Nichols has long prioritized giving Theo a sense of normalcy and privacy away from the spotlight, often keeping his face partially obscured or limiting public shares to protect him from intense media attention. These latest posts feel like a special, proud-mom milestone, highlighting their close adventures together.

The timing adds an interesting layer to the story. Theo was born in December 2021 amid a high-profile paternity scandal: Thompson initially denied being the father but confirmed it in January 2022 after a test, following the revelation during his relationship with Khloé Kardashian.

While Thompson has publicly shared tributes and photos of his other children—True and Tatum with Khloé, plus Prince with ex Jordan Craig—he has never posted about or openly acknowledged Theo on social media. Nichols, meanwhile, has largely raised Theo as a single mom, occasionally sharing heartwarming updates of their life, from zoo trips and farm days to simple playtime, often captioning them with affection like calling him her “best friend.”

These rare photos underscore the ongoing contrast in how the co-parenting dynamic plays out publicly. Fans have noted the difference, especially when Thompson posts about his other kids around similar times. No direct drama has surfaced with this update, but it serves as a gentle reminder of Theo thriving under his mom’s care.

Theo’s growing up fast, and these glimpses show a happy, active little boy surrounded by love. Cute as ever—Theo’s got that classic charm! What do you think of these family dynamics in the spotlight? 😊
