Tristan Thompson Now Brother Amari’s Temporary Guardian Following Mother’s Passing

by

Earlier this year, Tristan Thompson’s mother Andrea passed away unexpectedly at the age of 53 after having a heart attack. The basketball player had a tough time coping with the tragic loss. This was documented on the past season of The Kardashians. Amid his grieving process, he stayed with ex Khloe Kardashian, and received support from the reality star and her family. Tristan’s 17-year-old brother Amari, who suffers from epilepsy, also moved in with them.

Amari’s disability makes him unable to care for himself, so his mother had been his primary caretaker before she passed away. Once she died, the question was raised as to who would care for Amari. Tristan filed a legal request to become his little brother’s legal guardian earlier this month, meaning he’d be responsible for his day-to-day needs. In addition to ensuring that all of Amari’s medical requirements are met, he’d also oversee the inheritance he received from his late mother, which is over $100K. His inheritance is not yet available for disbursement.

Now, Tristan has been granted temporary guardianship of Amari. A hearing for permanent guardianship has also been scheduled for November of this year. Though fans are glad that Amari will be well taken care of, some are concerned about Tristan’s NBA career. Others are wondering where Tristan and Amari’s other brother, Dishawn, is in all of this. Dishawn shared a post shortly after an episode of The Kardashians aired earlier this summer, which showcased the fallout of Andrea’s passing. “Death for a storyline 🤔” he wrote. Some social media users suspected that he was throwing jabs at Khloe.

He later addressed the accusations, claiming that the message wasn’t intended for Khloe. He additionally claimed she’s “been a real one” towards him and his brothers from the beginning.

Tristan Thompson Breaks Silence On His Mother’s Death, Apologizes For Causing Her “Embarrassment”

by

One month after tragically losing his mother to a heart attack, Tristan Thompson has broken his silence. The Canadian athlete shared a touching tribute to Andrea via his Instagram page on Sunday (February 6), thanking her for raising him right while also apologizing for any embarrassment he might have caused. At the same time, he promised his family matriarch that he would do everything possible to take care of what she left behind.

“Dearest mommy in heaven, It has been one month since you’ve been gone,” he emotionally began. “I’m in disbelief. I’m in the deepest part of sorrow & grief
My soul is empty as I come to terms that my biggest supporter/superhero is gone. I cannot thank you enough for always being a woman of faith, being one of God’s warriors, fighting back with whatever the world threw our way.”

Thompson then vented about his newfound desire to hear Andrea’s voice one last time. He promised her that her sacrifices over the years on behalf of her family didn’t go unnoticed and that she was the strongest woman he’s encountered in his life. “I know you’re here as I write this letter,” he penned in his caption.

“All I can say is, I’m sorry mommy for the wrong decisions I’ve made in my life. I’m sorry for the embarrassment and pain. You raised me better than what I was able to show you,” Tristan went on to say, potentially referencing his past infidelities, among other scandals. “But I have also learned sorry is not enough. Actions speak louder than words. So I won’t just say sorry.”

According to his post, Thompson plans to take great strides to show Andrea and the world what an amazing son she raised. “I will show you that even when we fall and make mistakes, we get back up. You are my motivation. Stand beside me as I become the man I know you always believed in. I’m going to make you proud, I promise.”

In conclusion, the father of four also promised that his younger brother, Amari, is going to be taken care of. “I know they say time heals all but I don’t think this pain will ever go away,” he wrote in reflection. “We had so many memories and more I wanted to share with you. We will still share them but now from heaven. As the tears roll down my face, all I can ask is please continue to be my light.”

Tristan’s tribute to his late mother is undeniably touching, and it’s certainly not the only one we’ve seen dedicated to Andrea lately. The Brampton native’s ex, Khloé Kardashian, filled a photo dump with her sweetest memories of her children’s grandmother. “I know you never wanted to leave your boys. They are your entire world,” her lengthy caption reads.

“I have so many emotions and still I feel numb. Life can be brutally unfair at times. This has been one of the toughest times in so many of our lives. But at the same time, I feel blessed that I am lucky to have had someone that makes saying goodbye so incredibly difficult,” she also wrote.

Khloé Kardashian Honours Tristan Thompson’s Late Mom With Emotional IG Tribute

by

Tristan Thompson and Khloé Kardashian have endured no shortage of rollercoasters from the time they first got together in 2016. After the athlete’s paternity scandal with Maralee Nichols surprisingly went public last year, things seemed to be on the rocks between the on-again-off-again pair. Since then, though, the reality star has made it obvious that she’s always going to support her co-parent.

Earlier this month, the Canadian was left devastated by the news of his mother, Andrea Thompson’s sudden passing. Shortly after he found out about her cardiac arrest, the father of four promptly flew back to his home country. His second baby mama was photographed by his side.

The following week, the NBA star held a memorial service for his family matriarch. His good friend and fellow Toronto mans, Drake, was in attendance. Paparazzi cameras also caught glimpses of figures resembling Kim Kardashian and her little sister Kylie Jenner paying their respects.

Khloé has kept quiet on social media in wake of the tragedy. Late on Monday (January 23) evening though, she finally vented her thoughts and emotions in a heartwarming tribute to Andrea. “I have been avoiding this… Avoiding accepting this is real. I have so much to say but nothing at all,” the mother of two began.

“I have so many emotions and still I feel numb. Life can be brutally unfair at times. This has been one of the toughest times in so many of our lives. But at the same time, I feel blessed that I am lucky to have had someone that makes saying goodbye so incredibly difficult. So difficult that I’m choosing not to say goodbye for good because that is something I cannot fathom.”

Kardashian is confident that she’ll see Andrea again in this lifetime. “I know I will hear your sweet voice and infectious laugh again. I know I’ll get to feel that embrace of yours. I’ll see you again with the many that have gone before you that I so desperately miss, love and cherish,” she later added.

Elsewhere in the commemorative post, the California native joked that Mrs. Thompson is probably in heaven, yelling, “Who does that?!” as her family cries over their loss. “At the same time, I know you never wanted to leave your boys. They are your entire world. They will learn to live with the hole in their hearts because they are warriors just like their warrior mommy,” she reassured the late woman.

“Just know, I promise you, Amari will be perfectly ok. We will all look after him, help him and protect him. Your boys will be ok because they have their guardian Angel by their side,” Kardashian promised before concluding with a Bible verse.

While the loss of Andrea is certainly sad, Khloé and Tristan welcomed their second child together as co-parents just a few months ago. To celebrate Halloween last year, she shared the first photos of the baby boy whose name we still don’t know.

Tristan Thompson’s Mom Dead, Athlete & Khloé Kardashian Seen Jetting To Toronto

by

Once again, Khloé Kardashian is showing how much compassion she carries in her heart. After learning of the death of her co-parent’s mother, the reality starlet joined Tristan Thompson on a private jet to his homeland of Toronto, Canada where he can properly mourn and make arrangements for Andrea Thompson’s funeral.

TMZ broke the story on Thursday (January 5), revealing that the athlete’s parent was in the hospital. She apparently suffered a heart attack while at home. Upon arrival at the medical centre, experts made attempts to resuscitate the woman but ultimately failed.

Thompson left Los Angeles as soon as possible, sources tell the outlet. In an update on Friday (January 6) afternoon, Kardashian’s appearance became public knowledge. It’s been said that she’s joining her ex to comfort him in his time of need.

The mother of two was reportedly close to Andrea, and the NBA player shared no shortage of photos of his family matriarch with his children over the years. He shares two with Khloé, as well as a son with his ex, and another from an affair he had with Maralee Nichols.

Despite not being a couple for some time now, Kardashian and Thompson still spend holidays together for co-parenting purposes. Their united front during this difficult time proved his dedicated she is to supporting him through thick and thin, whether romance is involved or not.

At this time, further details regarding Andrea’s sudden death remain unknown. The Canadian baller hasn’t yet spoken out, though his previous posts dedicated to the late woman speak volumes.

On Mother’s Day a few years ago, he wrote, “One day isn’t enough to praise and lift you high. Every day is your day. Thank you for all the sacrifices you made for me and my brothers. I love you and I’m so lucky to have been chosen as your son. Not all superheroes wear capes.”

Check back with HNHH later for any updates on the situation. RIP Andrea Thompson.
