Who is Andrea Thompson?
Andrea Thompson is Tristan Thompson’s late mother. Andrea died suddenly at the start of January due to a heart attack.
Tristan is the oldest of four boys, and Andrea was also the mother to sons Dishawn, Daniel, and Amari.
The NBA star’s mother stayed out of the spotlight, however, Tristan spoke out on his love for Andrea publically. Speaking to NBA in 2016, Tristan said:
”Even though I don’t live at home and I’m four hours away from home, I talk to my mom every day – ask how the kids are doing, ask how she’s doing, too.”
“Everyone knows that my mom, she’s very dedicated to taking care of her sons – especially Amari. But at the same time, you need to make sure that she’s ok.”

“I have been avoiding this…. Avoiding accepting this is real. I have so much to say but nothing at all…. I have so many emotions and still I feel numb. Life can be brutally unfair at times and This has been one of the toughest times in so many of our lives.”
“But at the same time, I feel blessed that I am lucky to have had someone that makes saying goodbye so incredibly difficult. So difficult that I’m choosing not to say goodbye for good because that is something I cannot fathom.”

Lala Anthony also comforted Khloe during this sad time: “Beautiful words..praying for you all & for strength during this difficult time. So sorry for your loss.”
Khloe’s best friend Malika also took to the star’s post commenting: “Amen.”
However, some fans aren’t too happy with Khloe’s post. Tristan’s brother Amari suffers from epilepsy. One fan claimed Khloe shouldn’t have posted the picture as his mom Andrea did her best to shelter him from social media.
Although, others did not agree with this. One fan responded: “Tristan is an advocate for children with epilepsy and constantly posted about it. his mom & brother would be in the pictures & interviews. How is that her hiding him?”
