Maralee Nichols, the mother of Tristan Thompson’s third child, is dissing her ex’s telling Instagram captions.
If you’ve been under a rock, Maralee welcomed her and Tristan’s baby boy, Theo, back in December. She has since shared his growth with her followers over a series of candid posts.

Initially, Tristan denied that he was the father of Maralee’s child when she sued him for child support and pregnancy-related expenses in December. But in the end, he ultimately decided to take a DNA test that proved his paternity.
To make things more complicated, Tristan was actually in a relationship with his longtime on-again, off-again girlfriend Khloé Kardashian at the time that he impregnated Maralee. He even went so far as to leave the lavish 30th birthday party that Khloé threw for him to fly over to Houston, which is where he slept with Maralee.
However, this was not the first time that Tristan had cheated on Khloé, as their relationship has been weighed down by the athlete’s infidelity for years.
But one of the most shocking scandals occurred in 2018 when Tristan was photographed entering his hotel in New York with a woman he’d met at a nightclub just days before the birth of his and Khloé’s first baby, True, who is now 4. The following year, he wound up kissing the then-close family friend of the Kardashians Jordyn Woods at a house party.
And prior to this, the NBA player — who is now a father of four with three different women — allegedly cheated on his ex, Jordan Craig, while she was pregnant with their son Prince, now 5.
And most recently, it was revealed that when Tristan impregnated Maralee, he and Khloé had actually been preparing to welcome their second child — who was born earlier this month — via surrogate.
So when it comes to relationships, it seems very clear that he is not the best at maintaining them.
This leaves many fans often confused by some of the basketball player’s Instagram captions, as they usually involve some sort of motivational or inspirational quote.
Last month, for example, Tristan captioned one shot: “You can’t fall if you don’t climb. No happiness in living your life on the ground. Keep climbing, step by step.”
Just a few days later, the athlete wrote about “patterns” and “details.” Both of these posts received a lot of heat from users who called out how Tristan’s messages were ironic.

“You are not one to give motivational talks,” read one popular comment, which received over 5,000 likes. “I don’t think you should be giving motivational advice on anything,” commented another person.
“Your quotes will never change the person you are,” one user wrote, while several others urged him to stop offering advice while referring to him by his infamous online nickname, “Tristan Trimester.”
Most recently, Tristan shared a photo of himself alongside the caption: “I never switched sides, I switched lanes. I got wiser and realize we aren’t all built the same #DontTryMe.”
And once again, the post was quickly inundated with comments making fun of the irony of Tristan talking about “switching lanes,” with several users joking how he had switched women, “beds,” and “baby mommas.”

And now, Maralee is seemingly in on the joke about his infamous captions.
Posting a photo of herself posing in the gym, Maralee wrote: “Less time on captions, more time on actions,” before adding, “never skip leg day.”
This led to a flood of comments with fans praising Maralee’s looks and seemingly thumbs-upping the subtle “shade.”
“………was this shade,” one person questioned. “Love the shade,” commented another.
Tristan has yet to make any public reference toward Maralee aside from his initial statement vowing to co-parent with her.
