On the April 3, 2025, episode of The Kardashians, Kim Kardashian spoke about her children’s interaction with Tristan Thompson’s younger brother, Amari, who has Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.

The Kardashians: Kim and Khloé open up about Amari's involvement in their family

During The Kardashians episode, Khloé talked about how her children have adjusted to Amari’s condition. Khloe shares two kids with her ex, Tristan Thompson. She opened up about the dynamics of her family, stating,

“My kids are much more exposed to Amari than some of the other kids. So True is more concerned than frightened of Amari. But I do think it is important for our kids—and everyone’s kids—to be exposed to all different types of people."

Khloe, who helped organize the event, expressed her pleasure on the show's April 3 episode, highlighting that Amari's 18th birthday was a huge milestone. She referred to it as a significant accomplishment, adding that "every day we have with him is a blessing."

Kim expressed a similar perspective and encouraged her four children—North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm—to spend time with Amari. “I love our kids growing up around him and helping him,” she said.

At the party, Kim asked Chicago and her friends if they felt scared, adding, “But it is OK if you are.” Later in The Kardashians episode, Amari experienced a brief seizure, which made Kris Jenner tear up.

"When you meet someone that's so wonderful and then something so terrible happens to them," Khloe added, "you do want to help. You do want to fix it and be there as much as you can. I think my mom feels the exact same way."
