Khloe Kardashian's ex, Tristan Thompson, has taken on the enduring responsibility of caring for his disabled brother, Amari, aged 17, following their mother Andrea's tragic demise thirteen months ago.
The legal transition to make Tristan Amari's official guardian was finalized by a court ruling reported on Monday, as disclosed by TMZ. Amari, who suffers from Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, an intense form of epilepsy requiring constant attention, has been under Tristan's temporary guardianship since September 2023, subsequent to their mother's sudden passing from a heart attack at 53.

Tristan, 32, initiated legal proceedings earlier this month to secure sole guardianship and conservatorship for Amari, citing the inability to locate their father, Trevor Thompson. Documents obtained by Entertainment Tonight reveal that Trevor, who was mandated to pay child support when Andrea assumed sole guardianship of Amari in 2014, has been absent from their lives since 2014, failing to comply with court orders and providing no support or involvement in Amari's upbringing.

Tristan emphasized the necessity of guardianship to oversee Amari's financial and healthcare needs. Despite being a Canadian citizen, Amari has been receiving essential medical care in California, where both Tristan and Amari relocated post-Andrea's passing. Tristan expressed concern over the lack of familial support in Canada and the inability to sustain the current level of care and support Amari requires if compelled to return.
