Overview

  • On July 30 podcast Khloé in Wonder Land, she explained her decision to assume primary care for her ex’s 18-year-old brother, saying Amari deserves constant love and support regardless of her relationship with Tristan Thompson.
  • Amari Thompson lives full time in Los Angeles under Khloé’s supervision and professional aides because his Lennox-Gastaut syndrome causes frequent seizures and makes travel harmful.
  • Tristan Thompson obtained legal guardianship in February 2024, but his NBA schedule, which keeps him traveling nearly every few days, prevents him from providing consistent daily care.
  • Khloé traced her commitment back to her close friendship with Andrea Thompson, highlighting her long-standing role in arranging Amari’s medical care before Andrea’s death in January 2023.
  • She emphasized that integrating Amari into her household teaches her children and extended family empathy and understanding of disability through daily interactions.
