“Today, paternity test results reveal that I fathered a child with Maralee Nichols,” Thompson said on social media on Jan. 3. “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.”
He addressed Kardashian directly, telling her, “I have the utmost respect and love for you. Regardless of what you may think. Again, I am so incredibly sorry.”
Last month, Nichols told E! News she thought Thompson was single, saying, “I would never have gotten involved with Tristan if I thought he was in a relationship.” Going forward, she said, “My goal is to raise our son in a safe, healthy, loving and private environment.”
Thompson said in a court filings obtained by E! News that “the only time that I had sexual intercourse” with Nichols in 2021 was in March. “I am certain that if the child is deemed to be my child that the only date of conception was March 13, 2021, because it was my birthday,” he said of their “hook up.”
