Maralee Nichols Shares Rare Photos of Son Theo From San Diego Getaway

The selective update highlights her effort to protect her 4-year-old’s privacy, renewing attention to Tristan Thompson’s lack of public acknowledgment since his 2022 paternity confirmation.

Overview

  • Nichols posted a Jan. 13 Instagram carousel titled "Weekend Adventures ⚡️" that showed moments at the zoo, a bookstore and the beach, with Theo’s face turned away or covered.
  • The post marks a rare glimpse after limited shares in 2024, including photos in February and a general update in September.
  • Thompson acknowledged paternity in January 2022, yet outlets note he has not publicly discussed Theo as he does his other children.
  • Nichols’ representative told People in February 2022 that Thompson had not attempted contact or provided financial support, while Us Weekly reports a December 2022 settlement ordering $10,000 per month in child support.
  • Coverage contrasts Nichols’ privacy approach for Theo with Thompson’s public posts about Prince, True and Tatum, including an August 2023 Instagram tribute to Tatum.
