His latest affair with personal trainer Maralee Nichols came to light as she filed a lawsuit alleging she’s pregnant with his child.

Who is Maralee Nichols and Where Is She Now?

Rendezvous in H-Town
This past March, Thompson celebrated his 30th birthday in Houston and admits in his own legal filing that he specifically remembers the affair with Nichols because, yep, it was his birthday. This was the same day Khloe Kardashian, his on-off girlfriend and the mother of his second child wished him a loving birthday tribute on Instagram. That night, Thompson says Nichols attended a party with him at a hotel in the city and they had drinks, but neither of them “were drunk,” which seems like a bold thing to state in a legal document!
After their drinks, the couple left together in Nichols’ Maserati for the hotel where he was staying. That same night, they had sex several times at his hotel and she spent the night.
