The Kardashians season 3 finale was a heartbreaking episode for fans. Kylie Jenner opened up about the secret boob job she got aged 19, while Khloe revealed that a young teenager called Amari had moved in with her. So, who is Amari to Khloe Kardashian and are they related in any way? We’ve got all the details.
Who is Amari to Khloe Kardashian?
Amari is Khloe Kardashian’s baby daddy’s brother. He is the younger brother of Tristan Thompson, who she shares two children with, True and Tatum, and was in an on-off relationship with from 2016 onwards.
He is currently 17 years old and suffers from epilepsy. Both Amari and Tristan moved into Khloe’s home after their mother, Andrea Thompson died, in January earlier this year. Tristan is the sole caretaker of his disabled brother.
The Kardashian family arranged to bring Amari to Los Angeles so that he could live with Tristan. Tristan established The Amari Thompson fund back in 2013 in honor of his brother to benefit Epilepsy Toronto and heighten awareness.
Tristan’s brother faced a heartbreaking loss
Kim Kardashian revealed that Tristan found out that his mom had had a heart attack. “It shook up his entire world,” she explained. “So of course we drop everything and we go to Toronto. It’s not even a question, I’ll be there.”
Khloé recalled receiving a call from Tristan in which he was screaming into the phone and stated that Andrea was “gone.” After noting that she spoke with Andrea nearly every day, she explained that they moved in with her.
Tristan’s younger brother Amari faced a heartbreaking loss when his mother, Andrea, died. He moved to Los Angeles to live with Tristan, but when Tristan’s home was under construction, the roof caved in following severe weather.
Due to the incident, Tristan and Amari temporarily moved in with her. Khloe had paid tribute to Tristan’s late mother and wrote “Amari will be perfectly okay” in her caption.
I feel like Tristan owes Khloe so much for everything she's done for him, and for everything hes done to her. Heartbroken for Amari tho 🥺 #TheKardashians
