Maralee, 31, has regularly shared photos hugging and cuddling Tristan’s illegitimate child.
Over the weekend, the personal trainer posted a new snap of the sleeping one year old.
Taken from overhead, Maralee can be seen smiling as she rests with the toddler lying on her shoulder.
Theo’s face, as typical was covered and hidden from the camera, while napping on his mom.
Maralee’ s eyes were closed, as if in an effort to savor the moment.
While Theo may not know his father, the NBA player is a big part of his other son, Tatum’s life.
And Kardashian fans have been calling him out for it.
TATUM’S LOVE
Just days ago, Tristan, 32, shared adorable snapshots of his one-year-old boy on Instagram.
The Los Angeles Lakers player wrapped his arms around the toddler as he carried him.
The father/son duo wore sunglasses as they smiled at the camera.
In the next photo, Tatum placed his hand on his father’s cheek.
Tristan captioned the lengthy post: “You are a reminder of what life represents to me.
“You have taught me every loss comes a lesson, and you are my gift. You are my reminder of all of God’s messages.”

He concluded: “Tatum, your sweet soul reminds me of God’s grace.
“You are a future king, my son, and I am so blessed to be your DaDa!”
Khloe, 38, shares her five-year-old daughter, True, and her son Tatum with the basketball star.
Critics slammed the athlete for celebrating Tatum’s first birthday, but not recognizing the special day of his love child, Theo, 19 months.
“Recognize your love child too, you low life!” one person harshly said as another added: “You are shamless.”
A third mentioned: “… Is he for real?”
One person wrote: “You need to be ‘A Dad’ to all your children. You don’t deserve this baby.”
“No matter how that other baby was made, he is still yours and deserves a father… You need to man up, sir,” a commenter chimed in.
THE CHEATING SCANDAL
When his cheating scandal emerged, the public discovered Tristan fathered a love child with his ex-mistress Maralee Nichols, 33, during his supposedly exclusive relationship with Khloe.
Tristan offered to pay Maralee $75,000 in hush money instead of paying monthly child support, according to legal documents from August 2022.
He allegedly told Maralee that she would be better off with $75,000 because she would not get much from him for child support.
When the two eventually settled their paternity case, the court ordered the basketball star to pay about $9,500 per month in child support.
In the aftermath, Tristan reportedly told the Instagram model that he is uninterested in spending time with Theo and has no intention of getting to know him.
In addition to his little ones with Khloe and Maralee, Tristan is a father to a six-year-old son, Prince, with his ex, Jordan Craig, 31.
