Khloe has been taking care of Amari after Tristan's mother, Andrea Thompson died in January 2023.

"For those who don't know, Tristan has a younger brother who is 18 years old, and he is severely disabled. Amari has LGS (Lennox-Gastaut syndrome), which is a form of epilepsy, and he is disabled. He can't walk or talk. He's never been able to talk."

Khloe noted that Andrea was the "sole caretaker for Amari" when the family lived in Canada, however, she, Tristan and her whole family "took Amari back with us to the States" after her death.

"Amari has a handful of seizures a day" - says Khloe Kardashian

During her podcast, Khloe Kardashian opened up about the reasons she chooses to take care of her ex-boyfriend's brother, Amari Thompson. While Tristan was granted the request for guardianship of Amari in February 2024, his ex, Khloe has been doing the heavy lifting, while he is busy in the NBA.

"Tristan is in the NBA, and he is in a different state literally every other day or every few days, and it's just not conducive for Amari to be on that many planes. Amari has a handful of seizures a day with the type of epilepsy that he has."

She continued:

"So Amari stays in LA with me, and I have chosen to take care of him and be there for him, because it's not good that he travels."

She also gave credit to her "two sensational caretakers for Amari" and added that they just "want to provide Amari with the best, most beautiful life that we know how."
