Khloé Kardashian is showing up for her ex Tristan Thompson’s brother, Amari.
On Saturday, May 24, The Kardashians star, 40, supported Amari as he performed at a dance recital and shared sweet snaps of the 18-year-old at the event on her Instagram Stories.
In one video, Amari was wheeled across the stage by dancers as they performed a routine to ABBA’s “I Have a Dream.” The group also danced to the 70s group’s hit track “Take a Chance on Me.”
Afterwards, Khloé and Amari took a selfie backstage. They also joined Khloé’s mother, Kris Jenner, and the trio posed for a photo.
“I love you so much mommy,” she captioned the heartfelt snap. “Thank you for always supporting ALL of us always.”
Khloé and Tristan have been candid in the past about both Amari’s disabilities and how they have cared for him since the death of Tristan’s mom in January 2023.
In an October 2023 episode of The Kardashians, Khloé explained to viewers that Amari lives with a severe form of epilepsy called Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), which requires him to use a wheelchair and receive round-the-clock care from his family.
Tristian and Amari’s mother — who was also mom to their brothers Dishawn and Daniel — died unexpectedly after suffering a heart attack while at her home in Toronto, where Amari also lived.
After her death, Tristan became Amari’s primary caregiver, and by September 2023, the NBA star had filed to become his brother’s legal guardian. The brothers now live together in Hidden Hills, Calif., and although Khloé and Tristan are no longer romantically involved, they co-parent their two kids and she is involved in Amari’s life as well.
In an April episode of The Kardashians, Khloé and Tristan celebrated Amari’s 18th birthday.

“I appreciate you putting this all together. It’s definitely a special day,” Tristan said at the time. “I know Mommy is happy and she’s smiling down on us.”
In her own confessional, Khloé reflected on her relationship with Amari, as she said, “Amari has never and will never be a burden or anything like that. Amari is one of the most special souls I have ever met.”
