Khloé Kardashian is enjoying some quality time with her son, Tatum Thompson. The reality star and entrepreneur took to Instagram on Friday, February 9, 2024, to share some sweet snaps of her and her 18-month-old boy cuddling on the couch.
In the first photo, Kardashian, 39, smiles as she holds Tatum close to her chest. She wears a cozy gray sweater and matching pants, while Tatum sports a blue onesie and a white beanie. In the second photo, the mother-son duo pose for a selfie, with Tatum looking at the camera with his big brown eyes.
“Me and my baby,” Kardashian captioned the post, adding a blue heart emoji. She also tagged her ex Tristan Thompson, who is the father of Tatum and her 5-year-old daughter, True.
The post received over 3 million likes and thousands of comments from Kardashian’s fans and friends, who gushed over the adorable photos. “He is so precious,” wrote her sister Kim Kardashian. “Cutest baby ever,” commented her friend Malika Haqq. “He looks just like you,” added another follower.
Kardashian and Thompson, 32, welcomed their son via surrogate in July 2022. The couple split in June 2021, after multiple cheating scandals involving the NBA star. However, they have remained on good terms and co-parent their children amicably.
In September 2023, Kardashian and Thompson legally changed their son’s name from Baby Kardashian to Tatum Thompson, after initially listing him as Baby Kardashian on his birth certificate. Kardashian explained that she had not decided on a name for her son at the time of his birth, and later chose Tatum, which means “cheerful, full of spirit.”
Kardashian has been open about her struggles with bonding with her son after the surrogacy process, and how she overcame them with the help of therapy and support from her family. She also revealed that Tatum has a close relationship with his big sister, True, who loves to play with him and teach him new things.
Kardashian, who is the co-founder of Good American, a clothing brand that promotes body positivity and inclusivity, has also been focusing on her career and personal growth. She recently launched a new podcast, Khloé Unfiltered, where she discusses topics such as wellness, beauty, relationships, and parenting. She also published a memoir, The Daughter of Elvis, which is based on the unfinished manuscript that her mother, Lisa-Marie Presley, was working on before her death in January 2023. The memoir chronicles the life and legacy of Presley, who was the only child of Elvis Presley, and her own journey as a mother and a celebrity.
