Maralee Nichols is showing off her snapback frame a month after giving birth to the baby boy she shares with NBA baller, Tristan Thompson.
The new mom took to her Instagram Stories to share a photo of herself at a fitness studio, rocking a white sports bra and pink leggings that highlighted her snatched waist and flat tummy.
After months of contesting the paternity of Nichols’ son — alongside accusations that the former personal trainer was seeking fame with her lawsuit — Thompson admitted that he fathered the child while dating his ex-girlfriend, Khloé Kardashian, offering the reality star an apology via Instagram.
“Today, paternity test results reveal that I fathered a child with Maralee Nichols,” the Sacramento Kings player, 30, wrote. “I take full responsibility for my actions. Now that paternity has been established I look forward to amicably raising our son.”

“Khloé, you don’t deserve this. You don’t deserve the heartache and humiliation I have caused you,” he wrote. “You don’t deserve the way I have treated you over the years.”
“I have the utmost respect and love for you. Regardless of what you may think,” he added. “Again, I am so incredibly sorry.”
While Kardashian has yet to publicly respond to Thompson’s confession, Nichols is calling BS on the statement, believing he knew he fathered their child long before admitting it.

“There was never any doubt that Tristan Thompson was the father of Maralee Nichols’ baby,” Nichols’ publicist said in an exclusive statement to Page Six on Tuesday.
“Tristan made numerous false and defamatory statements and declarations about Maralee over the past few months, and she is taking his contrite statement today in the context of all of those statements.”
