Name of Khloé Kardashian and Tristan Thompson’s baby revealed
The baby boy was born in August 2022 via surrogate, and we now know his name.
After keeping it under wraps for so long, we now know the name of Khloé Kardashian and Tristan Thompson’s baby boy.
What is the name of Khloé Kardashian and Tristan Thompson’s baby?
According to the US Sun, the couple named their baby boy Tatum Robert.
“There was talk about whether it should be Tatum Robert or should it be Robert Tatum,” a source told the outlet.
“Some in the family were leaning more towards Robert, because it honors her dad and her brother, [Rob Kardashian].”
The outlet adds that mom Kris Jenner was keen on the pair choosing the name, but that it took Khloé “a little while to settle on [it].”
Khloé's father, Rob, passed away in 2003.
“Kris in particular was keen for the baby to be called Robert and was steering Khloé towards that,” the source added.
“It took Khloé a little while to settle on the name but ultimately she went with Tatum Robert, which is in keeping with Tristan and True’s names starting with a T.
“Khloé wanted a name that was kind of unusual but not too out there and also keeping with the T theme.”
The news comes after Kardashian confirmed in a September 2022 episode of the “Kardashians” that her son’s name was “gonna start with a T.”
Khloé and Thompson’s relationship
Khloé and Thompson welcomed Tatum via surrogate in August 2022. They also share a daughter, True, who was born on April 12, 2018 in Ohio.
Kardashian chose True because it has family ties.
“I knew I wanted my baby to have a ‘T’ initial, so one night while we were all at dinner, thinking of some names, my grandma MJ suggested True,” she wrote on her app in May 2018.
Khloé and Thompson broke up a year after True’s birth following a cheating scandal, though they reconciled during the pandemic.
They later welcomed their son via surrogate, though Thompson’s paternity suit with Maralee Nichols made headlines soon after. Though Thompson initially denied it, he later admitted to being the father of her child, Theo.
“Today, paternity test results reveal that I fathered a child with Maralee Nichols,” the NBA star wrote.
“I take full responsibility for my actions. Now that paternity has been established I look forward to amicably raising our son.”
