Sánchez and the former NFL player welcomed Nikko in 2001 during their ill-fated romance.
The exes separated soon after welcoming their son, and in 2007, Tony tied the knot with October.
Last month, the proud mom honored Nikko’s major achievement as she shared a series of throwback snaps of the pair on social media.
