Khloé Kardashian, the youngest of the Kardashian sisters, has found purpose and identity through parenthood. After becoming the mother of her daughter True Thompson, 6, and son Tatum Thompson, 2, the world has watched her bask in maternal bliss. However, that hasn’t come without strife.
Khloé shares her two children with her ex-partner and NBA player Tristan Thompson. Their relationship eventually came to an end following his multiple public infidelities. Kardashian found out about his cheating scandals while giving birth to True and expecting Tatum via surrogate, choosing to raise her children as a single mother. While Thompson is certainly still around and involved, she has deepened her bond with her children by exemplifying what it looks like to choose yourself.
Who Are Khloé Kardashian’s Kids?
True Thompson
True Thompson, born on April 12, 2018, is known for her infectious smile, playful personality and close friendship with cousins, Stormi and Chicago. Often appearing on her mother’s social media, the two have seemingly developed a close bond as her firstborn. They do everything together, from playing with makeup to rock climbing. True’s name reflects her parents’ hope for honesty and authenticity, and she’s certainly followed that wish through. Though she’s still only a child, she has already become a little fashionista, often donning stylish outfits that mirror her mother’s flair.
Tatum Thompson
Tatum Thompson, born on July 28, 2022, is Kardashian’s second child. Born via surrogate, Tatum entered the world under tumultuous circumstances between his parents. However, his arrival served as a light at the end of the tunnel, regarded as a “kind and affectionate boy.” Tatum’s name symbolizes “to bring joy,” and many members of the Kardashian-Jenner affirm that’s just what he’s done.
“I am a firm believer in that God gives you what you need and I needed you,” his mother wrote on Instagram in honor of his first birthday last year. “God knew my heart needed you. I needed a love only you could give me. I needed my son.”
