In 2022, Khloé Kardashian became a mom of two. The 40-year-old star of The Kardashians shares two children with NBA star Tristan Thompson: her daughter True Thompson, born in 2018, and her son Tatum Thompson, who arrived just over two years ago via surrogate. Despite closing the door romantically with Thompson, as she revealed in a June 2024 episode of The Kardashians, the pair continue to co-parent their children.
Since becoming a mother, Kardashian has given fans glimpses into her life as a mom through her Instagram, sharing candid snaps, selfies, and birthday tributes with her 308 million followers. She’s expressed how motherhood has changed her for the better, emphasizing her increased empathy and motivation. “You want them to be proud of you so badly,” she told Cosmopolitan UK in 2021, adding that her parenting approach impacts not just her work but also her manners and interactions with others.
Kardashian has also bonded with her sisters over their shared experiences as moms. “We’re really hands-on moms,” she said in a 2022 interview with Variety. “Family comes before everything. It’s what makes us happy. It’s what we work hard for.”
Here’s what we know about Kardashian’s two children:
True Thompson. Kardashian announced her first pregnancy in December 2017, expressing her joy on Instagram. On April 12, 2018, she welcomed her daughter True at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Since her birth, Kardashian has been open about the joys and challenges of motherhood, even sharing her struggles with breastfeeding due to strеss after True’s arrival.
Kardashian often gushes about her daughter’s sweet personality, calling her “my love” in heartfelt posts. She’s shared milestones like True’s first day of kindergarten and dance recitals on Instagram and continues to prioritize time with her daughter, clearing her weekends when work gets busy.
Tatum Thompson. In July 2022, Kardashian’s rep confirmed that she was expecting her second child via surrogate. Though her relationship with Thompson had ended following his paternity scаndаl, Kardashian welcomed Tatum later that month. After an eight-month period of deciding on his nаme, she legally changed it to Tatum Thompson in 2023.
Though the preparation for Tatum’s arrival was darkened by Thompson’s scаndаl, Kardashian described his birth as the start of her healing journey. “Now that my son is here, I get to move on,” she shared in The Kardashians.
Since his birth, Kardashian has posted sweet moments of Tatum, celebrating his first birthday with a space-themed party and sharing how he has transformed her and True’s lives forever.
Kardashian’s posts reflect her deep love for her children, highlighting the joy they bring into her life and the close bond they share.
