Khloé Kardashian and Tristan Thompson open up about Amari Thompson’s health issues in the latest episode of The Kardashians. Kris Jenner asks Khloé and Tristan what’s been going on with Tristan’s 16-year-old brother after he was discharged from the hospital.
“I mean, it’s bad and good, just like that we didn’t have any answers really. Like, his MRIS and EEGs and EKGs are all the same,” Khloé says in the October 5 episode. Amari is wheelchair-bound and has the most severe type of epilepsy. “He has the worst type of seizures you can have,” the Good American founder tells her family.

She adds that Amari was having so many seizures a day that it caused him to suffer “severe brain damage, and that’s why he can’t walk or talk or any of that stuff.” Khloé continues, “He’s in a really, like, scary place because once he hits age 20 is when it will be really bad if we can’t have any improvements.”
Kris gushes that her daughter’s “compassion for Tristan and Amari is extraordinary.” She also says that Amari is “teaching us a lot of life lessons.” The momager tears up when talking about Tristan’s little brother.
“Because when you meet Amari, he becomes a part of your soul and you can’t understand how this happened or why this happened, so hopefully it teaches my family that life is a beautiful thing. The fact that my kids, especially Khloé, have stepped up to this extraordinary challenge is a beautiful thing. I’m really proud of Khloé,” Kris says through tears.

Khloé then reveals that she and Tristan are having a physical therapist come to the house to help Amari. Tristan became Amari’s sole caregiver in the wake of their mother’s sudden death from a heart attack in January 2023. The NBA player filed for legal guardianship of Amari in September 2023. New episodes of The Kardashians premiere Thursdays on Hulu.

PREMIUM EXCLUSIVE: Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson take daughter True to sister Kim's Paw Patrol premiere as rumors continue about them rekindling their romance. The on-off couple looked happy and relaxed as they joined members of the Kardashian clan for the private screening. Khloe and pro basketball player Tristan were first linked in 2016 when they were spotted spending time together at a nightclub, and they later took a vacation in Mexico. The two confirmed that they were dating that same year and remained very close through much of 2017. The reality television personality eventually confirmed that she was pregnant with the athlete's child that December through a post made to her Instagram account. Kardashian revealed that she was expecting a girl during an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians that aired the following year. In 2018, it was reported that Thompson was spotted kissing multiple women in several locations, which surprised the clothing designer. That year, she gave birth to True, and the parents later reconciled following the child's birth. Although the two appeared to be going strong in their new roles as parents, the basketball player, just traded to the Sacramento Kings in California, was later caught cheating with several other women, and the two split up in February of 2019. The pair appeared to mend their relationship over the course of that year and were reportedly on good terms by the beginning of 2020. The parents quarantined together during the early stages of the pandemic, and their romance was eventually resumed last August. Earlier this year, it was reported that the couple was planning on expanding their family in the future, although no solid plans have been revealed as of yet. This past June, it was revealed that Kardashian and Thompson had separated, although they were said to still be on good terms at the time of their split. 12 Aug 2021 Pictured: Tristan Thompson, Khloe Kardashian and daughter True.
