Tristan Thompson’s start to the new year came with a devastating loss following the news that his mother, Andrea Thompson, had died after suffering a heart attack back in January. The Kardashians are said to have been by the NBA player’s side every step of the way and even showed their respect by attending her funeral in Toronto the following week. And now it’s being reported that Khloe Kardashian has continued to remain by Thompson’s side despite the ups and down their own relationship has faced in recent years.
After reconciling during the Covid pandemic, things came crashing down again by late 2021 when it was revealed that Thompson had fathered a love child named Theo with fitness influencer Maralee Nichols. The little boy was conceived while his dad was still in a relationship with the Good American co-founder, which made the situation all the more devastating for not just Khloe but also her family, who had previously forgiven the 31-year-old for his infidelity.

Yet it seems the famous clan, including Khloe, who shares two children with Tristan, is putting all of the past drama to the side to be a support system for her ex who had always shared a close bond with his mother prior to her passing. And if there’s one thing about the Kardashians, they are all about family. According to Entertainment Tonight, Khloe has been spending time with Tristan and reportedly made sure that he and his brothers know they’re loved and supported during this difficult time in her life. “Khloe has been very cognizant of making sure Tristan and his brothers don’t feel alone and she has been doing her best to help them as they deal with this tragic loss.”
Though Khloe and Tristan are said to be in contact on a frequent basis since Andrea’s death, a source added that their relationship is not romantic and that the reality star is simply focused on making sure her ex is doing okay. Khloe is no stranger to losing a family member as her dad, Robert Kardashians Sr., passed away from esophageal cancer in September 2003, just two months after being diagnosed with the disease.
Not to mention, Khloe and Tristan are also parents to their two children, True, and a baby boy who they welcomed via surrogate back in August. “Both Khloe and Tristan are extremely hands-on parents and True is absolutely loving being an older sister to her baby brother,” the insider continued. “They are happy.”

When news of Andrea’s death came about, Kris was one of the first people in the family to pen a touching tribute in a carousel of photos showing several heartfelt moments of Tristan’s mom. “My thoughts, prayers, and all of my love are with Tristan, [his siblings] Amari, Dishawn and Daniel. You were the most amazing, dedicated, devoted, and selfless mom and such a loving, kind, and fabulous grandmother,” she captioned the post.
“What a blessing you were to your family!!! I will miss you Andrea. I will miss your bright spirit and amazing light. Thank you for always praying for us and lifting us up and encouraging us along the way. Rest in peace beautiful angel 🙏❤️ @realtristan13.”
