TRISTAN Thompson first gained notoriety as an NBA player but later became well-known due to his romance with Khloé Kardashian.
Fans now want to know more about Khloé’s ex’s parents after learning more about him over the years.
Who was Tristan Thompson’s mother Andrea?
Trevor and Andrea Thompson welcomed Tristan into the world on March 13, 1991.
According to Heavy, Andrea drove a school bus and Trevor worked as a truck driver.
Tristan has repeatedly professed his affection for his mother over the years, despite the fact that his parents are mostly out of the public eye.
Tristan revealed that he spoke to his mother every day when he opened up about their connection in 2016.
“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,” he explained, via NBA.com.
“Everyone knows that my mom, she’s very dedicated in taking care of her sons – especially Amari. But at the same time, you need to make sure that she’s ok.
“It’s asking a lot for one parent to do, so I always try to make sure that she’s doing well, too. Whether she’s getting a massage or just get out of the house and have a babysitter watch for a couple hours, that’s crucial.”
Tragically, it was revealed that she had died in January 2023 from a heart attack she suffered at home, as reported by TMZ.
