Maralee Nichols shares new pic of her and Tristan Thompson’s son

No child left behind.

Maralee Nichols shared a photo of herself and Tristan Thompson’s son, Theo, after Khloé Kardashian posted a snap of the NBA star with his other three kids.

The fitness model posted a sweet selfie of herself holding her 1-year-old in her arms on her Instagram Stories Monday, approximately six hours after Kardashian’s tribute in honor of Thompson’s 32nd birthday.

In the Good American founder’s snap, the former Chicago Bulls star sat with his newborn son and daughter True, 4, whom he shares with Kardashian, and his oldest son Prince, 6, whom he shares with ex Jordan Craig.

Along with the picture, Kardashian, 38, penned a sweet message to her “baby daddy” to commemorate his special day.

“Happy birthday @realtristan13,” she captioned the post. “You are truly the best father, brother & uncle. Your love, attention, silly dances, hugs, carpool rides, bed time rituals, the way u show up for them. All of the above means more than you’ll ever know to your family of littles.”

The “Kardashians” star then subtly shaded her on-again, off-again ex by saying that she wishes that he will “continue to crave change, healing, and transformation.”

Nichols’ post came hours after the Good American founder shared hers.

Nichols gave birth to her baby boy in December 2021, one month after Kardashian conceived her and Thompson’s second baby via surrogate.

The mom of two concluded, “Be strong, be kind, be patient, be free. Continue to Make your soul and your mommy proud. Happy birthday baby daddy.”

Though Kardashian turned off the comments section of her post, that didn’t stop fans from taking to Twitter to discuss how the reality star left one of his children out of the photo.

“Khloe Kardashian had to turn her comments off after she was dragged for this birthday post for Tristan ‘Third Trimester’ Thompson. How the hell he a great father when Maralee baby not there,” tweeted one fan.

“You really can’t say that someone’s the best father if they’re not taking care of all their kids?!?! @khloekardashian One of Tristan’s kids is missing from the photo no?!?!” added another.

“Khloe will never be able to convince me Tristan is a ‘great father’ so long as he continues to not claim poor baby Theo,” wrote a third user.

Nichols gave birth to her baby boy in December 2021, just one month after Kardashian conceived her and Thompson’s second baby via surrogate.

The former Boston Celtics player previously denied being Theo’s father, but in January 2022 took to Instagram to confirm his paternity.

The NBA star previously denied being the father of Theo.

Thompson has since agreed to pay Nichols $10,000 per month in child support.

“Today, paternity test results reveal that I fathered a child with Maralee Nichols,” he wrote at the time. “I take full responsibility for my actions. Now that paternity has been established I look forward to amicably raising our son.”

Thompson also issued an apology to Kardashian, who was dating the athlete when Theo was conceived.

“Khloé, you don’t deserve this. You don’t deserve the heartache and humiliation I have caused you,” he continued. “You don’t deserve the way I have treated you over the years.”

Thompson has since agreed to pay Nichols $10,000 per month in child support. However, a source told Page Six last summer that he has yet to bond with his baby boy.

‘DWTS’ pros Val Chmerkovskiy, Jenna Johnson welcome first baby

Val Chmerkovskiy and Jenna Johnson are parents!

The “Dancing With the Stars” pros welcomed their first child on Jan. 10.

“Our world is forever changed 🤍,” Johnson announced on Instagram Thursday alongside a photo of her hand and Chmerkovskiy’s hand with their newborn grabbing her finger.

Chmerkovskiy, 36, and Johnson, 28, have been together since 2015 and struggled through “two years of infertility and hundreds of negative tests” while trying to start their family, the new mom revealed in a July Instagram post.

The ABC personalities had even “stopped trying to conceive for about six months to mentally/emotionally give” themselves a break when Johnson unexpectedly found out she was pregnant.

Johnson announced the news with a sweet Instagram post.

She called her pregnancy her “biggest dream come true” in her baby bump debut.

“Baby Chmerkovskiy coming this January!” Johnson captioned an Instagram photo of Chmerkovskiy kissing her belly.

“My heart has grown beyond comprehension while growing this little miracle inside of me,” the then-expectant star continued. “We can’t wait to meet our precious angel.”

The “Dancing With the Stars” pros announced in July that they were expanding their family.

Johnson’s fellow “DWTS” pros shared their love at the time, from Sharna Burgess to Julianne Hough.

“Girl … get ready to meet the love of your life. You’re gonna be amazing ❤️ also you look STUNNING,” Burgess, 37, wrote, while Hough, 34, gushed that she was “so so happy” for the couple.

Johnson called her pregnancy a “dream come true” via Instagram.

Johnson’s sister-in-law, Peta Murgatroyd, also commented, writing, “I love youuuuuuuuuuuuu!! I’m so emotional now!!!! Ahhhhhhhhh you will be the best Momma!!!!❤️❤️.”

When Chmerkovskiy posted an ultrasound photo that same day, Murgatroyd, 36, called their expanding family “the beginning of everything.”

The dancers have been married since 2019.

The couple tied the knot in April 2019, and the “So You Think You Can Dance” alum told Us Weekly the following year that her husband wanted a baby “very badly.”

She explained, “That’s our future. That’s what we want when that’s gonna happen.”

In October 2021, Johnson gave the magazine an update, saying that timing was “everything” and that she still “wanted a family.”

Ant Anstead spent the holidays in the United Kingdom, bringing his 3-year-old son, Hudson, to his native country for the first time.

“What a simply INCREDIBLE week of adventures back in Blighty!” the motor specialist captioned an Instagram slideshow Tuesday with the toddler and his half-siblings, Amelie, 19, and Archie, 16.

“Hudzo and I spent Christmas morning on the sandy beach of Laguna then the rest of Christmas Day on a flight to the UK!!” he explained. “His first time ever out the US.”

Anstead, 43, went on to document his family’s “muddy boots woodland walk,” their shopping adventure in London and a “HUGE family Christmas gathering at [a] local school!”

The former “Wheeler Dealers” host concluded his social media uploads with videos of his toddler learning to play cricket.

“It’s merely my parental duty to teach Hudzo British sports,” he joked. “‘Daddo it’s like baseball….’ 😂.”

Anstead shares the little one with ex-wife Christina Haack.

The car builder shares his little one with ex-wife Christina Haack, who spent Christmas Eve with Hudson.

The former couple’s holiday schedule was decided when their custody battle was settled in November 2022. When years end in an even number, Anstead is granted Dec. 23 through Christmas Day with Hudson, as well as the week of his school vacation.

The former couple co-parent the little one.

Haack, who has the same rights during odd-numbered years, saw Hudson on Dec. 24.

“Wonderful Christmas Eve with family and friends,” the “Flip or Flop” alum, 39, captioned an Instagram Story picture last month featuring husband Josh Hall, as well as her two children with ex-husband Tarek El Moussa, Taylor, 12, and Brayden, 7.

The festive photo marked a rare moment of Haack showing Hudson’s face to her followers.

The “Christina in the Country” star often covers her youngest child’s features with emojis after Anstead accused her of “exploiting” him in September 2022.

“I CHOSE and choose not to post Hudson because I was exhausted with Instagram being used as a tool against me,” Haack explained when questioned about hiding Hudson two months later.

As for Anstead, he defended his own pictures with their son in October 2022, writing, “Hudzo not having to work in his childhood … that’s a win.”
