Khloe Kardashian shares rare look of her son Tatum’s face in new pic with True, 5, after baby’s name is finally revealed
KHLOE Kardashian has shared a rare look at her son Tatum’s face in a new photo with her daughter True after the baby’s name was finally revealed.
The Good American co-founder posted the sweet family photo to her Instagram account on Sunday.
Khloe, 38, captioned the post with three “teddy bear” emojis.
The selfie photo captured the Hulu star smirking at the camera as her daughter True, five, provided a happy grin.
The newest addition to the family, Khloe’s son Tatum, was shown looking off to the side while wearing a firefighter hat, no doubt from his cousin Psalm’s 4th birthday party, as the snapshot was taken.
Khloe donned a tight-fitting white long-sleeve shirt for the photo as little Tatum wore a camouflage print sweater and a light tan beanie — that was nearly hidden underneath his fire brigade attire.
In the post’s comment section, one person wrote: “The perfect family.”
Another fan commented: “mama bear extraordinaire!!!!!!”
While a third commenter remarked: “Beautiful Family Khloe.”
The name of Khloe’s baby boy was finally revealed nine months after he was born.
Khloe remained tight-lipped about what she’s called the boy she had via surrogate with on-again, off-again boyfriend Tristan Thompson, 32, in July last year.
Now The U.S. Sun has been exclusively told that he has been named Tatum Robert.
Khloe admitted last month that — like her firstborn daughter True — she had decided to give her son a name beginning with T.
But the mom-of-two played coy about announcing the child’s full name to the public.
It comes following the drama surrounding the name of the baby son of her sister Kylie Jenner, who Kylie at first said was called Wolf before changing the name to Aire.
A source tells The U.S. Sun that Khloe resisted nudges from her family, especially her mom Kris Jenner, 67, to give the first name of Robert to the baby after Khloe’s late father, Robert Kardashian, and brother Rob.
Instead, she decided to use Robert as the boy’s middle name in honor of her lawyer dad, who passed away almost 20 years ago in September 2003, and her beloved younger brother, according to the source.
The insider said: “There was talk about whether it should be Tatum Robert or should it be Robert Tatum.
“Some in the family were leaning more towards Robert, because it honors her dad and her brother.
“Kris in particular was keen for the baby to be called Robert and was steering Khloe towards that.
“It took Khloe 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.
“Khloe wanted a name that was kind of unusual but not too out there and also keeping with the T theme.”
START WITH A T
Khloe shares both Tatum and True with Los Angeles Lakers basketball player Thompson.
The 32-year-old is also dad to sons Theo, 16 months, with Maralee Nichols, and Prince, six, with model ex-girlfriend Jordan Craig.
He had Theo after cheating on Khloe with Nichols but despite the subsequent paternity scandal and split Tristan and Khloe went on to have Tatum even though they are no longer together as a couple.
Khloe opened up a little about their son on The Jennifer Hudson Show last month.
Confirming that the name starts with a T, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum said: “Yes, he’s named. But, I haven’t announced it yet.”
Explaining why it took her a while to choose the boy’s name, she said: “He was delivered via surrogate, or the stork I like to say, and at first, I did not know what I was going to name him.
“I wanted to meet him and feel him out a little bit, and so at first he didn’t have a name.”
She also explained that she was waiting until the premiere of the upcoming season of The Kardashians for the boy’s name to be revealed.
Khloe had already said during the premiere of season two of The Kardashians that her son’s name would start with a T.
OOPS!
Kris accidentally leaked the name of Khloe Kardashian’s baby son ahead of the third season premiere of The Kardashians.
Kardashian matriarch Kris slipped the boy’s name during an installment of the Hulu show.
In the debut episode from the second season, Khloe’s momager recommended: “The biggest thing that you need to think about now is a name.
While the two were in the hospital, Khloe replied: “It is going to start with a T.”
She continued: “I mean, that’s only the names I’ve been looking at.”
Kris picked off a list of names from her phone: “Tyler, Tucker, Tatum.”
She jokingly referenced Kylie Jenner’s former baby daddy, Travis Scott, 32, and Kourtney Kardashian’s husband, Travis Barker when she added: “We could name him Travis and then just have an easy three.”
