Tristan Thompson and Maralee Nichols’ son is on the move!

The fitness model posted proof on her Instagram Story Thursday, writing that Theo is “walking everywhere now.”

In the social media upload, the 1-year-old wore a gray hoodie and jeans as he confidently took steps in a play space.

Nichols gave birth to her baby boy in December 2021, one month after Khloé Kardashian conceived her and Thompson’s second baby via surrogate.

Although the basketball player initially denied his paternity, he confirmed in January 2022 that he is Theo’s father.

Thompson, 31, has since agreed to pay Nichols $10,000 per month in child support.

It’s unclear clear whether the athlete has met Theo, as he has not posted the little one on social media.

Nichols, however, often documents their child’s milestones, celebrating his 1st birthday in December 2022 with a touching Instagram tribute.

“Spending the past 365 days with you have been the best days of my life,” she gushed. “You are the sweetest little boy, your smile brightens up any room. You are my greatest blessing, my world, my heart in human form.

“God knew I needed you. I love you more than anything,” Nichols concluded at the time, calling the birthday boy her “angel.”

In addition to Theo, Thompson is the father of 6-year-old son Prince with his ex Jordan Craig as well as 4-year-old daughter True with Kardashian.

The “Kardashians” star, 38, and the NBA champion, who dated on and off from 2016 to 2021 amid his multiple cheating scandals, are also the parents of a 6-month-old son.

The former couple have yet to share their baby boy’s name after his July 2022 arrival.

In the Season 2 premiere of her family’s Hulu reality show, Kardashian accused her ex of “encourag[ing]” her to move forward with their surrogacy process despite knowing he was also expecting a baby with Nichols.

“I wouldn’t want anyone to think I did this after [finding out],” Kardashian told viewers. “I’m a lunatic, but not that f–king deranged.”
