Tristan Thompson and Khloe Kardashian. INSTAR (2)
Khloé Kardashian supported Tristan Thompson after his mother passed away and offered him a place to stay in her house. According to Khloé, Tristan's own house was undergoing construction and renovations, but was further damaged by extreme rain, leading to flooding. As a result, Tristan and his brother Amari are temporarily residing in Khloé's house until his home is repaired.
Filming a confessional, Khloé reflected on her initial conversation with Tristan, 32, following the passing of his mother, Andrea Thompson, from a heart attack.
"Tristan called me, but I couldn't comprehend his words. He was distraught, screaming through the phone, trying to convey that she was no longer with us. However, I was clueless about what he was referring to. I had a close bond with Andrea, talking every single day," expressed the reality star discussing the loss that took place in January. "Andrea was only 53 years old and she left behind four sons: Dishawn, Daniel, and Amari. Particularly heartbreaking is the fact that Amari, aged 16, suffers from severe disabilities, and it's truly sad because we are unsure about his cognitive awareness."
Tristan's words of gratitude were directed towards Khloé, Kim Kardashian, and Kris Jenner, as he acknowledged their support for him and his family. He expressed his deep appreciation, recognizing their busy schedules and numerous commitments. Tristan hoped to continue providing them with the blessings he believed his late mother would want for them. Khloé additionally noted that the incident concerning Tristan's house seemed to hold some significance amidst his personal grief.
"God indeed has a plan, and He does not wish for him to endure loneliness at this moment. And why should he? This is simply the essence of family. When things get tough, your family is all you have, and Tristan and I are family. We will remain family until the end of time."
Concluding her thoughts, the cofounder of Good American expressed her gratitude: "I am thankful for my strength and courage in being a support system for someone who currently lacks any other form of support. I believe in treating others with kindness and respect, regardless of how they treat me. That is the principle I was raised on."
Khloé and Tristan's turbulent relationship has continuously grabbed media attention since they began dating back in 2016. After going through a legal battle concerning paternity with Maralee Nichols, who gave birth to their son, Theo, in December 2022, the couple ultimately decided to permanently end their relationship.
According to insider information shared with We, Khloé had shown unwavering support for Tristan during his difficult time coping with the loss of Andrea.
Khloé is deeply devoted to Amari, Tristan's younger brother, and is determined to support him every step of the way. With a heart of gold, Khloé sees it as her duty to assist Amari following the tragic loss of their mother. Being familiar with the hardships of losing a parent, Khloé's nurturing nature compels her to care for Amari unconditionally, as she expressed in her heartfelt tribute to Andrea. The insider revealed that Khloé's commitment remains unwavering as she continues to prioritize aiding Tristan in his role as Amari's legal guardian.
"Amari is considered part of the family, and she will always be there for him," the insider mentioned. "She is capable of maintaining a friendly relationship with Tristan and prioritizing their co-parenting responsibilities, all while keeping a broader perspective. Being a nurturing individual by nature, she has always taken care of others. Although this situation is challenging for everyone involved, she believes it is essential to provide Tristan and Amari with unwavering support."
