Khloe Kardashian lets ex Tristan Thompson move back in after shock death of his mom - but insists they are NOT back together
The Kardashians rung in the new year of 2023 in a most unconventional way, after the sudden death of Tristan Thompson's mother Andrea.
Andrea passed away at just 53 years of age in early January, with the end of the Season 3 finale revealing Tristan's ex Khloe Kardashian and her sister Kim Kardashian dropped everything and flew to Tristan in Toronto on Kim's private jet.
At the time of her death, Andrea was the sole caretaker for Tristan's youngest brother, 16-year-old Amani, who suffers from epilepsy.
After Andrea's sudden passing, Tristan was put in Armani's care, which meant bringing the disabled teenager to Los Angeles.
However, in another bizarre twist of fate, unforeseen complications with Tristan's house undergoing renovations meant Tristan and Armani had to move in with Khloe... though she insisted that they are not back together in a romantic sense.

Khloe adds in confession, 'Tristan called me, I didn't really understand what he was saying. He was just like screaming on the phone, trying to tell me that she's gone, but I had no idea who he was talking about. I was really close to Andrea. We spoke every single day.'

Kim adds that she was 22 years old when she lost her father, adding, 'I wasn't involved in any of the decisions of planning a funeral. I've never done that before, but to really see what goes into that, it was very, very emotional.'
The episode cuts to six days later, where Khloe lets out a deep breath, and Kim says, 'You seem stressed,' but Khloe says, 'No. You guys have been incredible.'
Kim adds in confession, 'So when we were in Toronto, we had to do everything from cleaning her apartment and finding everything from life insurance policies to how do you turn off phones and credit cards and the funeral. We just, you know, had to prep everything to bring Amari back. This is like a big huge life change and just so much to think about.'
Khloe tells Kim and Kris that, 'When Tristan walked in he was like, 'We've gotta clean for mommy,' cause the house was like crazy and he was like crying and cleaning and me and Kim were like, 'OK, we're gonna clean for mommy.' And it was shiny.'
Kris adds, 'The fact that you stopped what you were doing, within two hours were taking off for Toronto…' as Khloe added, 'Well that's Kim. Kim had her plane.'
Kin adds, 'Isn't God just like funny? How you were so ready to have your year of like being free and now, Tristan had to move in with you, his little brother had to move in with you, his roof caved in. What are the chances? You can't even, you know.'
Khloe adds, 'Here's number one, my number one slogan I always use. You want to make God laugh, tell him your plans.'

Khloe adds in confession, 'Tristan has a house he's doing construction on and he's been renovating. He was able to live there during renovations, but we had crazy weather for California, like extreme rain, and Tristan's roof caved in on his home and caused flooding. So Tristan and Amari are staying at my house right now, until his home gets fixed.'
'God does have a plan and God doesn't want him to be alone right now, and why should he be?' Khloe says, as Tristan walks in with his and Khloe's son Tatum in a stroller.
Tristan said they were going for a little walk, as Kris says quietly, 'Everything is meant to be, just everything happens for a reason.'
Kim holds Tatum as Khloe warns her, 'he's in the sticking the tongue out phase, he's a good spitter, Kim.
Tristan sits on the couch next to Khloe, and she scoots away but he keeps scooting closer, as she asks, 'Why are you scooting closer to me?'
Khloe confirms in confession, 'Tristan and I are not back together. I know it's hard for everyone to believe, but I love love love Andrea and I love Tristan, I love Amari, and this is what family does. Tristan is the father of my kids, you know. I've lost my dad, and my dad was like a fairy tale parent, but still I can't wrap my head around losing my mom, and I know how close Tristan and his mom are, and it's just heartbreaking, and to be left with the responsibility of another person as well, it's a lot.'
Kim is seen playing with Tatum, as Khloe continues in confession, 'I just think that this is what family does when s**t hits the fan. All you have is your family and Tristan and I are family and we're gonna be family for the rest of our lives.'
Kris says that Tatum, 'looks like the exact same baby as Robert when he was born,' as Khloe adds that Tatum likes Amari and they like each other.

'He's been having more seizures than normal because he's just…' as Tristan finishes, 'adjusting.'
Khloe adds in confession, 'I'm grateful that I'm strong enough and brave enough to be a support system for someone else that has no other support system right now. You don't have to treat me right for me to treat you right. It's not the way I was raised.'
Tristan says, 'Thank you so much, especially from me and my family, I don't know what I would do without you guys right now, like coming to my mom's house and packing up and going through photos and cleaning up her condo and getting Amari for the funeral. Like, you guys are like so busy, you guys have so much business going on, like, honestly, like, I don't know, like, I just hope God continues to keep blessing you with everything you guys want, and that's what my mom would want for you guys, so seriously, thank you,' as Kris starts wiping tears away.
Kris adds, 'You know, your mom had a lot on her plate and to be able to be Amari's sole caregiver like really affected me so much, and that just broke my heart because Amari doesn't know what's going on and then all of the sudden you're just stripped from the caretaker you had your whole life. I just feel so lost for him because he's probably just wondering where his mommy went and it breaks my heart.'
Kris adds in confession, 'Tristan has definitely made some mistakes and he's definitely messed up, but at the end of the day, he'll always be part of our family and we will be there for him no matter what.'
Tristan adds, 'But as a son it makes me proud that I know like my mom like, her time on Earth like, you know, she helped a lot of people and she's remembered for a lot of great things, you know.'
Kris added, 'Yeah, everyone loved her,' as Khloe said Andrea was, 'the most selfless, not many people could do what she did.'
Kris said, 'She was so proud of you,' as Tristan said, 'She didn't care if it was a high school game or an NBA game, she's standing up at the front, screaming. Everyone is like, 'Who is that? Is that your mom or your sister?' I'm like, 'That's my mom.' I know the one thing she would want is just to make sure Amari is good, that's the number one thing, you know.'
Kris adds, 'And here we are, making sure Amari is good, that's the mission,' as Tristan says, 'Let's just take it one day at a time, and just be thankful every day.'
