Khloé Kardashian's ex Tristan Thompson files gag order on woman claiming he fathered her child

NBA star Tristan Thompson has filed a gag order in an attempt to silence the woman who claims she gave birth to his baby last week.

Us Weekly reports the Sacramento Kings player asked a judge for the emergency motion on Tuesday in Harris County, Texas, where he requested for himself and local personal trainer Maralee Nichols be banned from speaking out about the paternity case as it plays out in court.

The case originally kicked off in June, when Nichols filed a paternity suit against Thompson, in which she claimed she and the basketballer conceived a child in March when he was in town for his 30th birthday.

He has since admitted to sleeping with the trainer but has doubts over whether he is the father. However, in Nichols' filing, she has reportedly requested child support and other birth expenses. 

It's believed the athlete was still dating reality TV star Khloé Kardashian at the time of the fling. The pair, who share a three-year-old daughter True, ended their on-off, five-year relationship for good in June.

Thompson also shares a four-year-old son, Prince, with ex-girlfriend Jordan Craig. Nichols has since given birth to a boy, welcoming him on December 2.
