Yahoo Finance Woman at the Center of Tristan Thompson Scandal Has Delivered Her Baby, Source
Maralee Nichols, a woman who is suing Tristan Thompson for child support and other pregnancy-related fees, gave birth to a baby boy last week, her rep confirms to PEOPLE.
According to court documents obtained by PEOPLE, the Sacramento Kings player, 30, confessed to having sex with Nichols on at least one occasion.
Thompson is already dad to daughter True, 3, with Khloé Kardashian, as well as son Prince, 4, whom he shares with ex-girlfriend Jordan Craig.
A source confirmed to PEOPLE that Kardashian "knows about the baby, but hasn't known for long." The source said Kardashian was still dating Thompson in March when Nichols claims she was involved with the NBA star.

"Khloe's family always tried to support her," they continued. "They always treated Tristan well even after he broke Khloe's heart multiple times."
Thompson and Kardashian have been on and off for several years, and most recently split in June.
At one point, the former couple was exploring the idea of having another child together, but their plans for a surrogate fell through last summer. A source previously told PEOPLE that the exes are continuing to "keep things friendly" for True's sake.
