Khloe Kardashian reveals a new detail from the birth of her and Tristan Thompson‘s son, Tatum Thompson.
Khloé and the NBA star gave birth to their second child together – via surrogate mother – in July 2022. At that time, no one knew that the couple was expecting another child together, and that News about Tristan’s paternity scandal popped up.
In a new interview for She is MD In the podcast, hosted by Mary Alice Haney and board-certified gynecologist Dr. Thais Aliabadi – the Good American founder’s doctor – opens up to Khloé about the moment Tatum was born and how she wasn’t ready to accept the timing.
Khloé explains that her son’s birth isn’t scheduled for a few weeks and she’s planned a weekend getaway to bond with her eldest child, True Thompson, 6. But a call from Dr. Aliabadi rocked her world.
“I remember that Dr. “The baby wasn’t due for another week or two and that was my last weekend with my daughter, right. I just needed the weekend. We just wanted to have a hotel weekend.”
Khloé reveals that she went back and forth with the doctor about her son’s due date.
“And so I say, ‘No, we can’t do that.’ And [Dr. A’s] like, ‘No, there’s no liquid in the sac.’ We have to do this.’ And I say, “I’m having a weekend.” “I’m having a weekend with True,” she says. “And she says… that’s the Mother Theresa, she says ‘OK’ because I started crying hysterically because it wasn’t even about the weekend was about now, that’s real.
She continues, “She says, ‘You know what?’ I’m going to deliver the baby and you let me know when you’re ready to pick it up.’ And I thought, ‘What?’ I ask myself, “Who does this?” Who even offers that?” And she did. And I remember thinking to myself, ‘Khloé, let go.'”
Khloé went on to share that her big sister Kim Kardashian jumped into action the moment her son was born and was her “prince on a white horse” as she drove him to the hospital.
The Kardashians Star — who spoke openly about how she was initially unable to contact him at the time of her son’s birth – notes that it was obvious when the moment was replayed in the episode of The Kardashians on Hulu.
“If you ever watch the episode and when you [Dr. A] Put the baby on my chest, I have a mask on, you can see my eyes, they’re empty and I’m just like, ‘How did this happen?'”
Later in the podcast, Khloé shares that she has formed a connection with her son and offers advice for other mothers who have gone down the surrogacy route.
“I think it’s an incredible blessing that we have this opportunity, and I’m so grateful for the women out there who give up their bodies to carry someone else’s baby and then give it back to their mother,” she says. “It’s such a beautiful thing. But give yourself grace. Be patient.”
Khloé’s love for her one-year-old son is evident as she celebrated his milestones on Instagram gushes about how “obsessed” she is with him and his big sister.
In April, A source told ET that Khloé is focusing on motherhood and making sure she has a good co-parenting relationship with her ex.
“She’s not focused on dating and doesn’t want any outside distractions at the moment. Family always comes first for her and she is happy with where she is in her life,” the source said, adding that she and Tristan “They communicate frequently and are good at co-parenting.”
“Tristan does his best to be as practical as possible and of course Khloé is a very involved and involved mother. They are both doing well,” the source noted.
