Kris Jenner Breaks Down as Family Member Has Seizure at Birthday Party

BBG News

At Khloe Kardashian’s 18th birthday party, Kris Jenner became emotional when Tristan Thompson’s sibling, Amari, experienced a seizure.

On the recently aired episode of The Kardashians, now streaming on Hulu, a particularly poignant scene unfolded and became available for viewing on Thursday.

Kris became visibly upset when Tristan’s youngest sibling had a seizure during the celebration of their significant birthday event.

Amari was born with an uncommon type of epilepsy called Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS), which necessitates constant care and confines him to a wheelchair.

In the shocking aftermath of losing my beloved mother Andrea to a sudden heart attack in January 2023, I found myself stepping into a new role as the legal guardian for our cherished little one, Amari – a responsibility that I am deeply honored and committed to fulfill.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I’ve had the pleasure of making brief appearances on The Kardashians in the past. Recently, however, I was the center of attention when we gathered at Khloe’s residence to celebrate my 18th birthday – an occasion I will always cherish.

On the joyful event, things suddenly became alarming as Kris and Khloe conversed with Amari’s primary caregivers, Noel Rojas and Alba Flores, when Amari experienced a seizure.

Kris broke into tears, as he had never witnessed Amari having a seizure previously. However, Khloe clarified that such incidents occur almost daily for Amari. (The seizure itself was not depicted.)

Kris appeared noticeably upset when Khloe advised her to relax, and then admitted that Amari would never be a burden, instead she considers him as one of the most extraordinary individuals she has ever encountered.

In a private reflection, Khloe expresses, ‘When I encounter someone extraordinarily wonderful, and something horrific happens to them, I cannot help but want to assist, to mend the situation, and be by their side as much as possible. I believe my mom feels the same way. She has such a profound bond with Amari.’

While Amari’s caretakers tended to Amari, Kris stepped aside and wiped the tears from her eyes. 

Khloe and MJ rush over to comfort Kris, who tearfully confessed that she hadn’t witnessed one of Amari’s seizures previously.

In simpler terms, both MJ and Khloe shared they’ve encountered seizures in the past. Khloe even suggested that they might handle such incidents better than Kris, who appeared visibly emotional.

Khloe maintains that Amari is doing well, hinting that he might be overly stimulated. However, Kris, with tears in her eyes, described the situation as extremely intense.

In her confession, Khloe shares, ‘During one of Amari’s seizures, I manage to stay composed. Since I spend a lot of time with Amari, I’ve witnessed numerous seizures. He experiences multiple seizures daily, so I know how to handle such situations effectively. However, for someone who hasn’t been in similar circumstances and hasn’t seen seizures, it can be extremely frightening, and the feeling of being powerless is overwhelming.’

At the time, Khloe  shared a touching tribute to Amari on Instagram back on July 27, 2024.

On her primary platform, the television figure, aged 40, posted a message, and simultaneously, an NBA player, 33 years old, as well as Kris Jenner, took to their respective accounts to extend their personal birthday greetings.

Accompanying a collection of photos taken with Amari throughout the years, Khloe penned a touching message that said: ‘Happy 18th Birthday, my dear sweet angel Amari!’

I’m astonished to learn that you’re eighteen! You’ve made a tremendous positive impact on our lives, and for that, we’re incredibly grateful. Thank you for being such a blessing to us all!

In simpler terms, the reality star said, “You’re the kindest, goofiest, and most caring young man out there. I truly hope you can sense how much we cherish and appreciate you, our dear angel Amari,” accompanied by a blue heart symbol.

On a spacious outdoor patio, the creator of Good American took a brief moment to snap a selfie with the 18-year-old during their time together.

Another photo showed Amari with Khloe as they watched a film inside a movie theater. 

In addition to the selfies she took with Tristan’s younger sibling, the mom of two also shared some in her collection, plus a video showing her son Tatum connecting with Amari.

In a brief Instagram post, I found myself capturing a tender moment – a gentle kiss placed on Amari’s cheek while he peacefully slept.

Last January, I was deeply moved by a photograph where I stood alongside my beloved late mother, Andrea, who tragically passed away due to a heart attack in our home in Toronto. The image remains a cherished memory for me.

Regardless of their separation, Khloe stood by Thompson during his grief over losing his mother, attending the funeral in Canada. Additionally, Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner were also present to offer support.

In February 2024, Tristan became Amari’s legal guardian – 13 months after Andrea’s shock passing. 

To wrap things up, I was fortunate enough to attend an exhilarating 18th birthday celebration recently, and I simply had to share this snap!

In the image, Amari is noticeably surrounded by close family members including three children of Kim: North (age 11), Saint (8 years old) and Chicago (6 years old). Additionally, two kids from Kourtney, Penelope (12) and Reign (8), were present in the photo as well.

They paused for a moment to snap a picture, finding themselves within a spacious kitchen surrounded by far-off clusters of blue balloons.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I, too, recently celebrated a special occasion – my sibling’s birthday! Just like Tristan, star player of the Cleveland Cavaliers, I took to my personal Instagram account to commemorate this joyous event.

In his post, the athlete wrote, “Happy Birthday, Amari! What a wonderful eighteenth year! We feel truly lucky and grateful for all the goodness you add to ours.

‘You’re always shining brightly, just like a lighthouse guiding sailors through stormy seas! I adore you immensely and feel incredibly fortunate to call you my older brother.’

In the initial photo posted, Thompson displayed a warm grin under a shaded patio, with Amari nearby.

More blue balloons, some bearing the message “Happy Birthday Amari” written in white, were added to the back as well.

He also took a moment to capture another photo at Amari’s birthday celebration, along with his own kids, Tatum and True, who are from his previous relationship with Khloe.

As an over-the-moon admirer, I couldn’t help but rejoice when Tristan posted not one, but two heartwarming snaps! In one, he was beaming alongside his cherished sibling and their late mother, capturing a moment of pure love. Another set of pictures featured him and his brother from times past, moments I found myself reminiscing over. Simply marvelous!

An alternate depiction captured Amari along with Tatum and True, enjoying their leisurely moments outside amidst the pleasant weather.

Kris also shared sweet birthday wishes to the 18-year-old by jumping to her main Instagram page. 

On your 18th birthday, Amari! You’re a delightful and unique spirit that everyone adores deeply.

Or,

Celebrating your 18th birthday today, Amari! You’re such a lovely and cherished soul that we all hold dear.

Both versions convey the same sentiment but in slightly different ways.

Every moment we spend together, I appreciate the valuable lessons you impart. I express daily gratitude to the heavens for your soul and the affection you bestow upon me.

Jenner expressed, ‘Thanks for demonstrating true love for us. From the stars to the end of the universe and beyond, I adore you, Dear One, with lots of love xoxo ❤️ @tristan13_reality @khloekardashian’

Additionally, Kris shared pictures of Amari enjoying family moments, like Khloe being snapped alongside Tristan’s sibling and her kids at the yearly Kardashian-Jenner holiday bash.

Additionally, another person accompanied Jenner as she went out with her daughter Khloe, along with Amari and True, for a tranquil outdoor outing.

Regardless of their separation, Khloe and Tristan appear to be making progress in co-parenting effectively and prioritizing their family.

The former couple began dating in 2016 – and welcomed their first child, True, in April 2018.

Yet, while she was expecting their child, Tristan deceived the television personality. Following the surprising revelation, they chose to stay together.

In reply to a Twitter user that year, Khloe stated, “You’re not privy to the happenings within our household or the extensive work it requires just to exist together.

I take pride in my resilience, and I value your perspective on the matter. May you extend that appreciation to others who have found themselves in similar challenging circumstances.

In 2019, they separated when Thompson was seen kissing Jordyn Woods, a former friend of Kylie Jenner, at a gathering. However, they reunited during the COVID-19 pandemic as they spent their isolation period together.

In June 2021, they broke up again, but according to a source, the two celebrities are still friendly with each other and plan to continue co-parenting. (Us Weekly reported this at the time)

In the same year, Maralee Nichols filed a suit for child maintenance following the birth of their son, which had occurred earlier in the same month. She took this legal action against Tristan.

It turned out that Thompson was indeed the father of the child she gave birth to, as they were still in a relationship with Khloe at the time of her pregnancy. This fact was later verified through a paternity test.

The sports star offered an apology to Khloe, expressing, “You shouldn’t endure this pain. You don’t deserve the sorrow and embarrassment I have inflicted upon you.

‘I realize now that my behavior towards you has been unacceptable over time. My actions didn’t reflect how highly I value you. In truth, I hold the deepest respect and affection for you, no matter what your thoughts might be. Allow me to express my sincere apologies once more.’

On July 28, 2022, the pair welcomed their second child – son Tatum – via surrogate.

Together with his child Theo (shared with Nichols), as well as Prince, Thompson has fatherhood. Prince was born and welcomed by him along with his former partner, Jordan Craig.

After multiple instances of infidelity, it appears that both he and Khloe have moved on from their past issues. Just last month, they were spotted having dinner together at Nobu in Malibu.

In an episode of Hulu’s The Kardashians that premiered in June, the beauty shared her stance on potentially rekindling a relationship with the NBA player, hinting that the matter might be settled.

In my world, you won’t find me dating right now. Once my day as a parent winds down at 9 PM, my personal hours begin. From 9:30 AM to 4 PM the next day, that’s my sacred time, and I cherish every moment of it. I’m not splitting this precious time between a partner, neither am I dividing my TV viewing nor my sleep in bed.

When asked by Scott Disick if there was any chance for Tristan and her to reconcile in the future, she shared that the door has been firmly shut.

In the privacy of the confession booth, she remarked, ‘Can you believe it? Life just goes on. We must mature and carry forward. Seems like people are quite critical about how I choose to spend my time since I’m not involved in a romantic relationship.’

‘I stopped dating Tristan when Tatum was in utero. 2.5 years without dating is not that crazy.’
