Khloé Kardashian, with her warm personality, often affectionately refers to her little boy, Tatum, with nicknames such as “mini Robert” and “baby Rob.” To her, these names are a sweet nod to her beloved brother, Rob Kardashian. Time and again, she has pointed out the uncanny resemblance her young son shares with Rob, which has truly fascinated her.
Recently, Khloé shared an interesting story that adds a touch of drama to the Kardashians’ narrative. In a candid conversation on the SHE MD podcast back on May 7, she let listeners in on something quite unusual and intriguing: a tale of familial likenesses, paternity tests, and unraveling family ties.
During this heartfelt exchange, Khloé expressed her deep admiration for her brother, adding, “My son looks just like my brother, and Rob is one of my favorite people.” She also mentioned fondly how Tatum seems to share her late father’s witty sense of humor, saying, “There’s a spark of my dad in Tatum. This is absolutely fascinating.”
When the hosts, including Dr. Aliabadi, took a closer look, even they noted how strikingly similar Tatum’s features are to Rob’s, perhaps even more than to Khloé herself. This realization triggered Khloé’s curiosity about her son’s paternity. Being a baby born through IVF and surrogacy, Khloé humorously asked Rob, “Have you ever donated sperm somewhere without telling me?”
With an amusing twist, Khloé explained how she made Tristan Thompson, her ex-partner and Tatum’s father, undergo a series of three DNA tests, causing quite a stir. Describing Tristan’s reaction, she laughed, “He was absolutely offended.” Despite the series of tests confirming Tristan as Tatum’s father, Khloé’s insistence caught her doctor by surprise.
Although the tests confirmed what her heart perhaps already knew, Khloé eventually accepted the strong presence of Kardashian genes in Tatum with a chuckle, admitting, “While initially bewildering, it wouldn’t surprise me, but might be a bit too much to handle!”
Despite their past relationship history, Khloé warmly applauds Tristan for his active role as a devoted father, commending his dedication and acknowledging past mistakes. The couple, who decided to part ways back in December 2019 following personal challenges, share a lovable 6-year-old daughter, True Thompson.
Khloé takes pride in their amicable co-parenting dynamic, gratefully stating, “We may not be destined to be a couple, but he was definitely meant to be their father.”
In a touching conclusion, the paternity journey may sound a bit theatrical but wraps up with an overwhelmingly heartwarming realization about the beauty of family bonds.
