When it rains, it pours…literally for Tristan Thompson. The NBA player had to deal with the unexpected after heavy rain damaged his home. According to US Weekly, Khloé Kardashian revealed on “The Kardashians” why she has to wake up in the same home as Thompson. She shared, “Tristan has a house that he is doing construction on and renovating. He was able to live there during renovations but we had crazy weather for California, like extreme rain. Tristan’s roof caved in on his home and caused flooding.” Instead of sending him to a hotel, Kardashian welcomed the athlete into her home, but not just because the two share kids. Thompson had also recently suffered from a tragic loss.

In January 2023, Thompson’s mom, Andrea Thompson, tragically passed away due to a heart attack. The death was completely unexpected and turned the basketball player’s life upside down. A month after the Los Angeles Lakers star lost his mom, he shared a heart-wrenching tribute to her on Instagram. He wrote, “Dearest mommy in heaven, It has been one month since you’ve been gone. I’m in disbelief. I’m in the deepest part of sorrow & grief…You were an amazing mommy, role model, best friend & the strongest woman I know.” With the loss of his mother and his home damaged, Kardashian knew he needed to be surrounded by family, so she welcomed him with open arms.
