If there's one thing we can say about the Kardashian and Jenner kids and babies [1], it's that they're all absolutely adorable. Khloé Kardashian shares two children with ex Tristan Thompson, whom she dated on and off for several years [2] until the former couple ultimately split for good in December 2021 after the NBA player fathered a child with personal trainer Maralee Nichols [3].
Khloé and Tristan welcomed their first child [4], daughter True, in 2018 and have maintained a coparenting relationship since. On 13 July, 2022, news broke that the former pair were expecting their second child [5] via a surrogate, a son whose arrival was confirmed by People [6] on 5 Aug. that year. Since then, fans have learned more and more about Kardashian's little ones through updates she's shared on social media and in the most recent seasons of her family's reality TV show.
Throughout season two of "The Kardashians," [7] which aired last autumn, the Good American cofounder was particularly transparent about welcoming a second child with Thompson amid the birth of his son with Nichols. "Why would I want to have a baby with someone who is having a baby with somebody else? I'm not that much of a sociopath," Kardashian said during an episode. She also added that she felt "bamboozled" by Thompson as he admitted to knowing about his other son during their surrogacy process. "In hindsight, he always knew when the other baby was being born."
In "The Kardashians" season three, which kicked off on 25 May on Disney+, Kardashian shares even more about her son — including (finally!) his name [8], Tatum. She also speaks more about her surrogacy experience [9], admitting that it was "really hard" on her and ultimately impacted her connection with Tatum. Elsewhere, she also touches on where she stands with Thompson and shuts down reconciliation rumours [10] about the two.
Back on 27 Oct., 2022, Kardashian expressed that she's since moved past her relationship [11] with Thompson and his infidelities [12] during an appearance on "The Kelly Clarkson Show," adding that she's officially done having kids. "Shop is closed," she told the daytime talk show.
Focusing more on her kids now, Khloé continues to share photos of her family here and there. On 9 Aug., she posted a photo [13] of True and her cousin, Psalm West, both showing off casts. "Cousin cast club," she wrote in the caption, making it clear that her kids have been having a lot of fun — maybe too much fun. "Trampoline and monkey bars . . . They had a ball this summer."

While Khloé refrained from posting full photos of Tatum online for many months following his birth, that all changed on 28 July for his first birthday. Khloé, Tristan, and Khloé's sister Kim Kardashian [16] all posted on Instagram to share loving birthday messages to Tatum alongside galleries of photos of their adorable "smoosh," as Kim called him in her post [17]. A few days later, on 2 Aug., Rob Kardashian shared a photo of his daughter, Dream, hugging Tatum on his Instagram Story, which Khloé reposted on her story while joking about just how much Tatum resembles his uncle Rob. "Ladies and gentlemen, my niece and my brother," Khloé captioned the sweet snap.

True Thompson
True Thompson was born on 12 April, 2018, [19] at a hospital outside Cleveland where her dad, Tristan, previously played for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Though Kardashian and Tristan have had their ups and downs in their relationship [20], the two are devoted parents to True. Kardashian's Instagram page is a pretty even split of photos of herself and photos of her daughter — whether she's dressing her up in a variety of adorable outfits or whisking her off on holiday to a tropical locale [21].
For True's third birthday, Kardashian shared a series of photos of her toddler [22] with the caption: "And Just like that.... you are THREE . . . I am not ready for you to be 3. I almost cry every time I call you 'Baby True' and you correct me. You say in the sweetest voice 'I'm not a baby! I'm a big girl!' I'm not ready for you to be a big girl but you must know, No matter what age you are, You will always be my Baby True. You have changed my life in more ways than I ever could have dreamed of. You are my best friend. My greatest blessing. My entire world. Watching you grow up has been one of my greatest honours. Seeing life through your eyes is something so special. It's something magical. I will cherish every moment I have with you forever. You are every dream I've ever had of becoming a mommy come True. Thank you for choosing me! God, thank you for blessing me with my angel."
Tatum Thompson
People [23] confirmed the arrival of Khloé and Tristan's son (whose name was later revealed to be Tatum) on Aug. 5, 2022. The former pair welcomed their son, their second child together, via surrogate and kept the process private until news broke on July 13, 2022. Though Kardashian still hasn't posted full photos of her son on Instagram yet, she first shared a small glimpse of his tiny foot on Oct. 31, 2022, for Halloween [24]. "Owlette and Tigger aka True and Baby Brother. (Shhhhh…. But I can't wait for Halloween to be over)," the reality-TV star captioned her post [25].
In the months following, Khloé only posted a few more rare photos of Tatum [26] on Instagram, though she still blocked out his face. In "The Kardashians" season three, she gets candid about how she felt about welcoming Tatum via her surrogacy process. "I definitely was in a state of shock from my entire experience in general," she said in one episode, speaking of the time she met her son in the hospital. "I felt really guilty that this woman just had my baby and then I take the baby and I go to another room and you're just sort of separated. I felt it's such a transactional experience . . . I wish someone was honest about surrogacy and the difference of it. But it doesn't mean it's bad or good. It's just different."
In another season three episode, Khloé revealed that she struggled to connect with her baby boy, explaining that with daughter True, it only "took days," but with Tatum, "It's taking months and we still don't have a complete bond." Though later on in the season, the mom of two said that bonding with her son "has definitely gotten easier."
That ever-growing bond was made clear on Tatum's first birthday, which appears to be July 28, with Khloé posting a loving Instagram [27] message to her son where she shared her belief that God sent him to her. "I am a firm believer in that God gives you what you need and I needed you," she wrote in part. "God knew my heart needed you. I needed your sweet and precious Smile. I needed your angelic spirit. I needed a love only you could give me. I needed my son. I am so proud to be your mommy."
Tristan also shared a message to Tatum, writing on Instagram [28], "You are a reminder of what life represents to me. You have taught me every loss comes a lesson and you are my gift. You are my reminder of all of God's messages. You are the reason that I began my story. The mistakes along the way are lessons not failures. There is no expiration date to reinventing yourself. Tatum your sweet soul reminds me of God's grace. You are a future king my son and I am so blessed to be your DaDa!"
