And since Tristan\u2019s busy NBA schedule means he is travelling to a different state every few days, Khlo\u00e9 made it clear that she has \u201cchosen\u201d to take care of his brother and loves \u201chaving Amari be a part of my family.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \u201cPeople are always like, why did I do that? Me and Tristan aren’t together<\/a>, why would I take on helping with Amari?\u201d she continued. \u201cBut when I met Tristan and his family, oh my gosh, like nine, almost 10 years ago, which is crazy. When I met them, Andrea, Tristan\u2019s mom and I, we became such good friends.\u201d\u00a0\n<\/p>\n \u201cI would help her with Amari medically,\u201d she added. \u201cShe would have questions. She would need connections to certain doctors, and I would help with that. So I was very much involved in all of his medical appointments when Andrea was here.\u201d\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
