Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner says she is “heartbroken” after the death of Tristan Thompson’s mother Andrea Thompson.
The 12-year-old grandmother, whose daughter Khloé Kardashian shares two children with the NBA star, has posted photos with Thompson’s late mother over the years, coupled with an emotional caption detailing how she shares Andreas’ “bright spirit and… wondrous light” will be missed after her death.
“I am so heartbroken at the sudden death of Tristan’s mother Andrea,” wrote the reality TV mogul. “My thoughts, prayers and all my love are with Tristan, Amari, Dishawn and Daniel. You were the most amazing, devoted, devoted and selfless mother and such a loving, kind and fabulous grandmother. What a blessing you have been to your family!!! I will miss you Andrea. I will miss your bright spirit and amazing light. Thank you for always praying for us, lifting us up and encouraging us on our journey. Rest in peace beautiful angel.”
Jenner’s followers expressed their condolences in the comments.
“Terrible news Andrea was so young and vibrant and such an amazing mom,” wrote Jenner’s friend Faye Resnick. “Prayers to @realtristan13 and his family.”
“We love you Andrea and will miss you very much,” wrote Khloé’s friend Khadijah Haqq McCray.
Jenner’s friend Kathy Hilton also shared some red hearts on the post.
On Jan. 6, the 31-year-old NBA player’s mother died after suffering a heart attack in Toronto. It was reported that Thompson and Kardashian flew to Canada shortly after.
Thompson’s mother was grandmother to Thompson’s children Prince Thompson, 6, True Thompson, 4, Theo Thompson, 13 months, and a baby boy whom the athlete and Kardashian welcomed as a surrogate in 2022.
The Good American co-founder and the athlete began dating in 2016. The couple split in 2018 when he was embroiled in a cheating scandal, just days before Kardashian gave birth to the couple’s first child. They eventually reconciled but split again due to repeated infidelities, despite news that they were planning to welcome a second child in 2022. In December 2021, personal trainer Maralee Nichols announced the birth of her son with Thompson.
At the time of publication, Thompson has not shared any words regarding his mother’s death.
