The fitness instructor can be seen in the photos sitting in the sand with her back facing the camera.
She’s holding Theo up as he looks toward the ocean.
Only the profile of the 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢’s face can be seen because Maralee has not posted a photo of Theo’s face yet.
She posted two videos: one is of the gorgeous sunset, and the other is of Theo running happily in the sand.
The final photo is of Theo with his back facing the camera with his arms victoriously raised in the air.
Maralee captioned the post: “Happiness. It’s the simple things in life that are the most extraordinary.”
Fans in the comment section couldn’t stop discussing Theo’s father Tristan, 32, and the impact he will have on Theo’s life.
One said: “It is so heartbreaking how Tristan treats this beautiful 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢.”

Another asked: “Wonder why her little brother didn’t get invited to the birthday party of True [Thompson] like the big brother did.”
A third argued: “He don’t need his dad his mother is doing him just fine. His dad is just sad.”
Someone wrote: “Y’all…come on! We can all agree that Tristan is a horrible human for the way he has handled this situation. But Maralee is an incredible mother.
“It’s not fair to this little boy that his father sucks, but it looks like his Mama is doing a damn good job without him. Baby boy isn’t missing anything.”
Several tributes were posted for Tristan’s birthday this year, and Maralee fired back in a very classy way.
She simply posted a photo of herself and 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 Theo, whom Tristan has reportedly yet to meet.
The fitness model posted a photo to her Instagram Stories showing herself laying on the bed with 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 Theo in her arms.
This post came after Khloe Kardashian, 38, Tristan’s other 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 mama, declared him to be the “best father” despite the backlash the NBA star has received.
Tristan was supposedly exclusively dating Khloe when he got Maralee pregnant, and issued a public apology to the reality star after paternity results confirmed he was the father.
According to legal documents from August, the Chicago Bulls forward offered to pay Maralee $75,000 in hush money instead of paying monthly child support.
He allegedly told Maralee that she would be “better off” with the $75,000 because she wouldn’t get much in 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 Instagram model that he had no plans on spending time with nor would get to know their son.
