In an unexpected twist, Khloe Kardashian has taken the bold step of requesting paternity tests from her ex-partner Tristan Thompson.
The reality star’s concerns arose after noticing that their youngest son, Tatum, who was born via surrogate, bore a striking resemblance to her brother Rob Kardashian.
This revelation led Khloe to humorously question the origins of Tatum’s DNA during a recent episode of the She N’D podcast.
As Tatum approaches his second birthday, Khloe couldn’t shake the feeling that he looked remarkably like Uncle Rob.
During the podcast, she jokingly asked, “Rob, have you ever donated sperm somewhere?” It’s clear that she was only half-kidding, but this light-hearted comment sparked a serious discussion about paternity.
Tristan, however, did not find the suggestion amusing and seemed taken aback by the idea.
In a playful jab at her family dynamics, Khloe laughed, saying, “In this family, that would not surprise me, but that would be so disgusting.” Despite the comedic undertones, Khloe felt compelled to ensure that Tatum was indeed Tristan’s biological child, prompting her to insist on not one, but three paternity tests.
Thankfully, all tests confirmed that Tristan is the father.
Beyond the paternity drama, Khloe has been navigating the emotional fallout from Tristan’s past infidelities.
While pregnant with Tatum, Tristan fathered a child with personal trainer Maralee Nichols, which understandably added stress to an already complicated situation.
In light of these challenges, Khloe opened up about her mental health journey, revealing that she sought therapy during her surrogate pregnancy.
During a candid dinner with her close friend Malika Haqq, Khloe shared her struggles with therapy, admitting that her experiences had been less than helpful.
“I’ve gone to like, three or four different therapists,” she confided, expressing frustration over a lack of connection with her last therapist.
Khloe described her sessions as one-sided, stating, “I just told you my whole life story, and you’re just gonna be like, okay.”
Malika, taken aback by Khloe’s experience, suggested that she deserved better support.
“You need someone to help you find your exit,” she advised, emphasizing the importance of guidance through traumatic events.
This conversation highlighted the need for Khloe to find a therapist who could truly understand her unique challenges.
Kim Kardashian also chimed in, sharing her own therapeutic breakthroughs in a bid to encourage her sister.
Reflecting on her journey, Kim noted how Kourtney Kardashian had been advocating for therapy for years.
“Let me tell you something, Kourtney was right,” Kim said, recognizing the value of professional help.
Despite Kim’s enthusiasm for therapy, Khloe remained hesitant, playfully pushing back against her sister’s suggestions.
“Oh no,” she replied, showcasing her reluctance to embark on that journey alongside Kim.
In a confessional moment, Kim expressed her determination to support Khloe, acknowledging that therapy could provide her sister with valuable tools for navigating life’s complexities.
The conversation among the Kardashian sisters underscores a broader theme within their family—recognizing the importance of mental health amidst personal turmoil.
As Khloe continues to juggle motherhood and healing from past heartbreaks, it’s clear that the support of her sisters will play a crucial role in her journey.
Through laughter, tears, and a touch of family drama, Khloe Kardashian’s story serves as a reminder that even in the glitz and glamour of celebrity life, the quest for identity and emotional well-being remains a universal challenge.
As she navigates the ups and downs of parenthood and relationships, fans can only hope for the best for Khloe and her family.
