His career news comes just days after his third baby mama Maralee Nichols spoke out about him and his lack of any support for their son.
It was reported that Tristan could be potentially paying his three baby mamas $40K each in monthly child support for a total of $120K a month.
However, Maralee’s representative confirmed that the professional basketball player has ‘not’ paid her a dime in child support since his birth on December 1.
‘Despite news reports stating otherwise, Tristan Thompson has done nothing to support their son. He has not made any attempt to meet their son nor has he provided any financial assistance,’ her rep told Entertainment Tonight.
The statement came after The Sun reported that the NBA star could be paying up to $40K per baby mama – Jordan Craig for his first child Prince, five, Khloe Kardashian for his second child True, three, and Maralee for his third child, two months – for a total of $120K a month for child support.
On January 3, Tristan shared with his fans about the child: ‘Today paternity test results reveal that I fathered a child with Maralee Nichols. I take full responsibility for my actions.
‘Now that paternity has been established, I look forward to amicably raising our son. I sincerely apologize to everyone I’ve hurt or disappointed throughout this ordeal both publicly and privately.’
