Khloé Kardashian often affectionately calls her 1-year-old son, Tatum, by nicknames like “mini Robert” and “baby Rob,” referring to her brother, Rob Kardashian. She’s frequently mentioned how striking the resemblance is between her child and her brother. Recently, Khloé shared a fascinating story about their uncanny likeness, involving paternity tests and family connections.

During a chat on the SHE MD podcast, Khloé unveiled an intriguing tale that could easily be a dramatic subplot in a Kardashian TV episode. “My son looks just like my brother, and my brother’s one of my favourite people,” Khloé noted, adding that Tatum also has her late father’s witty sense of humor. “There’s glimmers of my dad in Tatum. It’s so strange.”

Khloé, speaking alongside Dr. Aliabadi, one of the podcast hosts, reflected on how Tatum resembles Rob more than herself. This discovery prompted Khloé to question Tatum’s paternity. “Tatum was conceived through IVF or surrogacy, and I thought: ‘Rob, have you donated sperm anywhere?’ I made Tristan undergo three DNA tests for Tatum, and he was so offended,” she revealed.

Throughout the process, Khloé’s insistence on additional DNA tests for her son even puzzled her doctor because Tristan had been confirmed as Tatum’s father. Soon enough, Khloé came to embrace the strong presence of Kardashian genes in Tatum, joking that such a mix-up “would not surprise me, but would be so awkward.”

Despite their past, Khloé had kind words for Tristan, acknowledging him as an “incredible father” to their children. While she noted his past mistakes, she also appreciated his positive traits. The couple, who ended their romantic relationship in December 2019 following a cheating scandal, also share a 6-year-old daughter named True Thompson. Khloé expressed gratitude for their cooperative co-parenting relationship, saying, “We’re not meant to be together, but he was meant to be the father of these kids.”

In the end, this whole paternity adventure brought about a surprisingly heartwarming conclusion.
