Tristan Thompson has been in the news recently for his attempt to gain guardianship over his 17-year-old brother, Amari Thompson. The NBA center filed a petition last month, and while he did gain temporary guardianship, the Department of Children and Family Services in Los Angeles has filed a report in response to Thompson’s request.
Since Khloe Kardashian's mom, Andrea Brooks, passed away in January 2023, Khloe and her family have been providing care for Amari. In his filing, Thompson calls out Amari’s father for being an absentee parent, claiming that Trevor Thompson has been avoiding his support obligations since 2014. The Kardashian family was featured on an episode of The Kardashians on Hulu, showing Khloe taking care of Amari after Tristan's roof issues. Khloe also shared a heartfelt post on Instagram for Amari's birthday in July.
Although Tristan has been taking care of his two children with Khloe, daughter True and son Tatum, he has been accused of not giving the same level of attention to his other two children he has with ex Jordan Craig and Maralee Nichols. Tristan did own up to fathering a child with Maralee, but he has not publicly acknowledged his son Theo since. Earlier this month, Craig’s sister accused Tristan of being a “deadbeat dad” to his eldest son Prince.
We will have to wait and see what the outcome of the DCFS report is, and if Tristan will be granted full guardianship of Amari. It is clear that Tristan is dedicated to caring for his brother, but it remains to be seen whether the court will agree that it is in Amari's best interests to be under Tristan’s guardianship.
