Maralee gained major attention in early December after she sued Khloe Kardashian‘s ex Tristan for child support, alleging she was pregnant with his child — which a paternity test later confirmed. Per court documents, the Sacramento Kings player admitted to hooking up with the Texas trainer in Houston last March when he was celebrating his 30th birthday — while Maralee said the relationship was much lengthier and took place in different cities.

He also included an apology to Khloe, with him he shares 3-year-old daughter True. “Khloé, you don’t deserve this. You don’t deserve the heartache and humiliation I have caused you,” he said. “You don’t deserve the way I have treated you over the years…I have the utmost respect and love for you. Regardless of what you may think,” he added. “Again, I am so incredibly sorry.” In addition to True and his child with Maralee, Tristan is also father to son Prince, 5, with ex Jordan Craig.
