MARALEE Nichols may be hiding some explosive news this holiday, exclusive photos have revealed.
Tristan Thompson's baby mama ex was seen with a massive diamond ring on her finger.
Maralee, who had a love child with Tristan, 32, during his supposedly exclusive relationship with Khloe Kardashian, was spotted in a playground with their son, Theo, one.
The 33-year-old was dressed in a long-sleeved black shirt with a plunging neckline and a blue pair of mom jeans.
A pair of dark black sunglasses covered her face.

The personal fitness model joined the toddler for some fun on a giant play structure, including sitting down at the top of a slide to help steer her son.
As she clapped and cheered the little one on, she exposed a giant diamond ring on THAT finger.
Maralee had no other jewelry on and did not try to hide her special accessory.
She also appeared to have had her nails freshly manicured.
Maralee - who prefers to maintain her son's privacy - kept his face covered as she carried him in her arms.
RECENT HISTORY
In the most recent photos of her, from less than a month ago, Marlee's hands were naked and free of any baubles.
And once again, she and Theo were enjoying a day in a park.
The tot adorably sat on a swing donning shorts, a t-shirt, a bucket hat, and sneakers.
Maralee also dressed casually for the outing, showing off her curves in tight blue jeans, a blue T-shirt, and sneakers.
She let her dark brunette locks flow straight down and wore oversized sunglasses.

Maralee included a sticker that read: "The Good Life."
NEW MAN?
Maralee has not revealed or even eluded to whether or not she is currently seeing anyone.
One person she definitely isn't seeing is Theo's dad, Tristan, who still refuses to meet his son.
The two conceived their son while Tristan was in a relationship with Khloe.
The world learned of the love child scandal shortly before Theo's birth in December 2021.
At the time, Tristan and Khloe - who are parents to a five-year-old daughter, True - were expecting their second child together via surrogate.
They welcomed their son, Tatum, in August 2022.
NOT THE FATHER'S DAY
Although Tristan and Khloe are no longer romantically involved following his affair with Maralee, the athlete hasn't attempted to connect with Theo.
In fact, the Los Angeles Lakers center offered to pay Maralee $75,000 in hush money instead of paying monthly child support, according to legal documents from August.
He allegedly told Maralee that she would be "better off" with the $75,000 because she wouldn't get much child support.
They eventually settled their paternity case, and Tristan was ordered to pay $9.5K a month in child support.
He also told the model that he was not interested in spending time with or getting to know their son.
On Father's Day this year, Maralee seemingly shaded Tristan by sharing a childhood snap on Instagram of herself with her dad instead of acknowledging her only son's father.
Meanwhile, Khloe praised the basketball star in numerous photos and videos on Snapchat, highlighting Tristan's bond with their kids.
In addition to his kids with Khloe and Maralee, Tristan is a father to a six-year-old son, Prince, with his ex, Jordan Craig, 31.
