The former couple are no longer together and have not been romantically involved for some time now, due to cheating scandals of the past.
However, they co-parent their kids, and still spend holidays and important milestones together.
As well as Tristan, Andrea – who worked as a school bus driver – is survived by sons Dishawn, Daniel, and Amari and her husband Trevor Thompson.
