People confirmed the arrival of Kardashian and Thompson's son (whose name was later revealed to be Tatum) on 5 Aug., 2022, though his exact birth date is still unknown. The former pair welcomed their son, their second child together, via surrogate and kept the process private until news broke on 13 July, 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 31 Oct., 2022, for Halloween. "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.
In the months following, Kardashian only posted a few more rare photos of Tatum on Instagram, though she still blocks out his face. And 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, Kardashian 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 mum of two said that bonding with her son "has definitely gotten easier."
