Former NBA star Tristan Thompson’s mother has passed away suddenly at her home in Toronto, Canada.

The 31-year-old basketballer was on Thursday supported by his ex, Khloe Kardashian, as the pair flew from LA to Toronto, Canada, after his mother, Andrea, died suddenly.

According to the reports, Andrea was rushed to the hospital following a major heart attack. Despite the medics’ efforts, the woman could not be resuscitated.

As DailyMail.com shared, it is believed that Khloe is determined to support her ex throughout the ordeal though they are no longer romantically involved.

Tristan is the eldest of four boys that Andrea and her ex-husband, Trevor Thompson, welcomed into their family.

The basketballer previously opened up about his close relationship with his mother as he revealed he checked on his mother and talked to her every day.

“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 said in an interview with NBA back in 2016.

“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 okay.

“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.”

More recently, in 2019, Tristan also shared a photo of his mother playing with his daughter, True, whom he shares with Khloe Kardashian.
