At Last, Khloé Kardashian Has Revealed Her Son's Name
Khloé Kardashian officially revealed her son's name in the Season 3 premiere of Hulu's The Kardashians. When asked by a producer if she had a name for her son, the mom of two replied, "Yes."
"His name is Tatum. So Tatum and True," she said. "Naming a human is really hard."
Earlier in the episode, sister Kim Kardashian referred to her nephew as "Baby Robby," to which Khloé replied, "Baby Rob."
"Is the name Bob?" Scott Disick then asked (as if he wouldn't know?). "No," Kim replied. "But he looks just like Rob."

Khloé shares both her son and daughter, 5-year-old True Thompson, with Tristan Thompson. The duo's youngest child was born via surrogate last year. Khloé confessed to Jennifer Hudson last month that at first she "really did not know" what she was going to name her son.
"I wanted to meet him and feel him out a little bit," Khloé explained, noting that she had been waiting for the premiere of her family's show to announce it (she did hint at the time that it would "start with a T").
Khloé's friend Malika Haqq appeared to reveal the baby boy's name less than a week before the return of The Kardashians. "Go Tate!" she commented on a picture of Khloé and her son. The U.S. Sun previously reported that the TV star had named her little boy Tatum Robert.
During the Season 3 premiere, which dropped on May 25, Khloé admitted that the surrogacy process was hard for her. "I definitely, like, buried my head in the sand during that pregnancy [such] that I didn't digest what was happening, and so I think when I went to the hospital, I really think that was the first time that it really registered—and it has nothing to do with the baby," the Good American co-founder shared.
She continued, "It's just, you're like, 'OK we're having a baby and this is my son and I'm taking him home with me.' I definitely was in a state of shock, I think, from my entire experience in general."
Khloé, who gave birth to her first child in 2018, also confessed that she "felt really guilty" that after the surrogate gave birth, Khloé took the baby and went to another room. "I felt it's such a transactional experience, 'cause it's not about him," she said. "I wish someone was honest about surrogacy and the difference of it, but it doesn't mean it's bad or—it's still great. It's just very different."
