Khloe Kardashian harbors a deeply special connection with Amari Thompson, the younger sibling of her ex-partner Tristan Thompson, even after their relationship's conclusion years ago. The 40-year-old reality TV star took to Instagram to share snapshots from a dance recital she gracefully attended alongside Amari. At just 18 years old, Amari battles a rare form of epilepsy known as Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), necessitating round-the-clock care.
"I am overflowing with pride for this remarkable young man," Khloe penned in the caption, accompanying a series of clips from Amari's dance recital on Saturday, May 24th. The founder of Good American showcased multiple moments of Amari shining on stage, intertwined with heartwarming selfies featuring herself and Amari, along with their matriarch Kris Jenner, who joyfully joined them. "Amari's joy is palpable," Khloe enthused.
Following their mother's tragic death from a heart attack in January 2023, Amari came under Tristan's guardianship, marking the beginning of his integration into the Kardashian-Jenner family fold. Since then, he has not only become an integral part of their lives but has also been spotlighted on their reality show.
Flashing back to April, Khloe celebrated Amari's milestone 18th birthday on 'The Kardashians.' However, the festive occasion was momentarily marred by a seizure Amari experienced, instantaneously shifting the ambiance to one of concern. Though the seizure itself was spared from the camera's lens, Kris couldn't help but shed tears as she witnessed the medical emergency unfold before her eyes for the very first time, her maternal instincts deeply stirred.
