Khloé Kardashian shared that her youngest son resembles her brother Rob so much that both she and her ex, Tristan, became suspicious. The child’s father took a paternity test three times to confirm that he is indeed the boy’s parent.
Khloé explained on the SHE MD podcast, that Tatum’s uncanny resemblance to Rob in both looks and behavior sparked her concern. Since Tatum was born via surrogacy, Khloé wondered if there might have been a mix-up at the surrogacy agency. “My son looks just like my brother,” she said, revealing she even asked Rob if he had ever been involved in a fertility clinic mix-up.
Tristan was quite upset by the suggestion, Khloé recalled with a laugh, adding, “In this family, nothing would surprise me, but that would really be gross.” After which Tristan underwent three paternity tests.
Despite the challenges, including finding out during the surrogacy process that Tristan had secretly fathered another child, Khloé respects Tristan as a father. She believes he is wonderful with their kids, True, who is 5, and 21-month-old Tatum. “He made mistakes, but he’s a great guy,” Khloé noted. “We’re not meant to be together, but he definitely was meant to be the father of my children.”
Tristan, 33, also has two other sons: Prince, 7, with Jordan Craig, and Theo, 2, with Maralee Nichols. Khloé commented on his role as a father, saying, “I’ve seen some dads who aren’t involved. I’m grateful that Tristan wants to be a part of their lives every day, even though he doesn’t live with us full-time.”
Regarding her personal life, 39-year-old Khloé is currently focused on raising her children and co-parenting with Tristan. She’s open to dating again in the future but isn’t rushing into anything. “I will be ready to date,” she assured. “I just don’t know if it’s right now.”
People on social media shared their opinions, stating that there’s nothing unusual about Khloé’s son resembling his uncle:
