Tristan Thompson Granted Temporary Guardianship of Younger Brother Amari Following Mom's Sudden Death

Tristan Thompson has been given temporary guardianship of his younger brother Amari.

Several weeks ago, the 32-year-old NBA player filed for guardianship of his 17-year-old brother – who cannot take care of himself due to mental and physical disabilities – following the sudden death of their mom Andrea in January 2023.

During a court hearing on Wednesday (September 20), Tristan was granted temporary guardianship of Amari, according to TMZ.

Tristan wasn’t present in court during the hearing, by his attorney spoke on his behalf via Zoom.

Nobody contested Tristan‘s filing, including Amari‘s father, who Tristan says has been absent his entire life and his whereabouts are reportedly unknown.

Along with covering Amari‘s medical requirements and his day-to-day needs, Tristan will also oversee the inheritance he will be receiving from their late mom, which is reportedly over $100,000. His inheritance is not yet available for disbursement.

The Kardashians viewers were first introduced to Amari earlier this year, when Khloe Kardashian had both him and Tristan move into her home after the death of their mom. It’s unclear if they still live with Khloe.

If you missed it, Khloe recently legally changed her and Tristan‘s 13-month-old son Tatum‘s name.

A hearing on Tristan receiving permanent guardianship of Amari is scheduled for November.
