Khloe Kardashian reveals her pride after disabled Amari wows his supporters at dance recital
has expressed her pride for Amari Thompson, the disabled brother of her ex-BF Tristan Thompson.
Sharing clips of Amari, 18, at a dance recital, she wrote: 'I am so proud of this young man.'
'Amari is so so happy,' the reality TV star added alongside video clips of him on stage with his peers and teachers.
'So happy': The 18-year-old younger sibling of the NBA star, 34, suffers from a rare form of epilepsy and requires full-time care
The younger sibling of the NBA star, 34, suffers from a rare form of epilepsy known as Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) and requires full-time care.
Tristan became Amari's legal guardian when their mom Andrea died of a heart attack in January 2023.
The Kardashian-Jenner clan - who featured Amari's birthday on their Hulu show in April - has similarly welcomed the teen into their everyday lives.
Khloe's mother Kris Jenner, 69, was also present for the dance recital.
She appeared alongside her third-born child and Amari in two smiley photos, dressed in a red sweatsuit with black and white Nike sneakers.
The matriarch, who has fans speculating over her youthful, rejuvenated look, added glamorous black sunglasses and slicked her signature short haircut behind her ears with a stylish side part.
Khloe wore a coordinating sweatsuit as well -hers black - which included a zip-up hoodie.
In an early April episode of The Kardashians, Kris became teary-eyed as Amari suffered a seizure at his 18th birthday party thrown by Khloe.
The festive occasion took a serious turn while while Kris and Khloe were in the middle of a conversation with Amari's full-time caretakers, Noel Rojas and Alba Flores.
The seizure wasn't shown on camera, but the 'momager' was driven to tears after witnessing the medical emergency for the first time.
Kardashian helped calm her mom down, and later said in a confessional interview, 'Amari will never be a burden or any of that.
'Amari is one of the most special souls I have ever met.'
She added: 'When you meet someone who's so wonderful, and something so terrible happens to them, you do want to help, you do want to fix it and be there as much as you can.
'And I think my mom feels the exact same way. She has such a connection to Amari.'
Khloe and Tristan share daughter True, seven, and son Tatum, three.
They are co-parents and have not been romantically involved for several years following a tumultuous relationship during which Tristan was caught in multiple cheating scandals.

Ex-ESPN star John Brenkus' cause of death revealed after passing away last week at 54
Former ESPN host and best-selling author John Brenkus died from suicide, a medical examiner has confirmed. TMZ said that the Virginia Department of Health, Office of the Chief Medical Examiner confirmed the tragic nature of the 54-year-old's death last week. When the Brenkus family announced the news of his passing on Sunday, they alluded to the nature of his death by saying he had been fighting depression.

'John lost his fight with this terrible illness on May 31, 2025. His heartbroken family and friends request privacy at this time, and encourage anyone who is struggling with depression to seek help.' Back in January 2023, during an interview with ex-NFL player Marcellus Wiley, Brenkus opened up on his mental health struggles. 'I fell into a very deep depression,' he said. 'I spiraled into a deep, deep depression and I was flat-out suicidal.' Brenkus revealed that his dog saved his life. '(He) came to my rescue... and in my suicidal funk, I was like: "What am I doing?" I literally picked up my phone, called my mom and said: "There's something wrong with me. I am mentally lost."' Brenkus then detailed his 'battle' for 'answers' which involved seeing multiple different psychologists and psychiatrists. Back in 2010, he wrote 'The Perfection Point: Sport Science Predicts the Fastest Man, the Highest Jump, and the Limits of Athletic Performance'.

Stick review: Owen Wilson's golfer charms, but is this the ‘new Ted Lasso'?
Stick, shtick and plenty of heart. Apple TV+ is hoping this feelgood sports comedy is the new Ted Lasso, and although it might not be everyone's (tin) cup of tea, there's a lot to like about this show. Let's start with the stick; that's a golf club if you hadn't already guessed, and although there's plenty of green-side chat and birdies, the good news is you don't need to like or understand the sport to enjoy the show (although it probably helps). Our story centres on an ageing former golf pro, Pryce Cahill (Owen Wilson). He was once the next big thing on tour before spectacularly crashing and burning. Twenty or so years later, he's still haunted by his failure, unsuccessfully trying to save his marriage to Amber-Linn (Judy Greer), drinking a lot and working in a golf shop recommending overpriced clubs to make as much commission as possible. Pryce just can't catch a break — that is, until he spots the troubled teenager Santi Wheeler (Peter Dager) hitting colossal drives after sneaking on to the local range and sees the potential to make him a star. Like most things in Pryce's life, this isn't going to be easy, and Santi (for reasons that will become clear as the show goes on) is incredibly resistant to help with his golf and taking this big risk. However, when his mother, Elena (Mariana Treviño), realises this could be a chance to make enough money for the family to change their lives, she reluctantly agrees to go on tour in a crowded camper van owned and driven by Pryce's old caddy, Mitts (Marc Maron). So begins a very pleasing journey of discovery: a mentor who's all-in on a long shot and his cantankerous mate; a mother who knows what she wants and a hot-headed raw talent with a lot of baggage — what could possibly go wrong? • Why Ted Lasso is the best show about football That leads me to the elephant in the room, the shtick. Many people like Wilson's thing. That mild Texas drawl, loveable loser, laid-back demeanour and anything-goes easy charm. And well, some don't. I'm in the former camp and therefore the prospect of ten episodes of a Wilson-powered vehicle fills my heart with happiness — but for those who wish they'd never seen You, Me and Dupree or Wedding Crashers, to use the golfing parlance, now's the time to pick up and head for the 19th hole. And so if you're not put off by golf or Wilson, let us talk about the real star of the show: the heart. Whereas 'cooler' comedy tends to focus on the edgy and the anxiety-provoking, this is a show happy to settle in with its feelings, and there are plenty of them. From the rage against the machine relationship between youngsters Santi and the equally disenfranchised country club waitress Zero (Lilli Kay) and the quirky dynamic between middle-aged Elena and Mitts, there's a lot going on. And that's before we throw in Pryce's complicated relationships with everyone, which drive the story along at a pace. Like Ted Lasso, this is a story that is unafraid to take its flawed characters on an emotionally charged comedic flight over fairway and rough, through the woods and into bunkers, before leaving them all a putt at happiness. If you're looking for a new comedy, it's worth a shot.★★★★☆ Love TV?
