Khloé Kardashian on the Surprising Reason She Made Tristan Thompson Take Three Paternity Tests
Khloé Kardashian recently got honest about why she had her ex-boyfriend, Tristan Thompson, take multiple DNA tests after the birth of their son, Tatum, and the reason is…intriguing.
In an episode of the “She MD” podcast released Tuesday, the reality TV star noted that Tatum, whom she and Thompson welcomed via surrogate in July 2022, looks a lot like her brother, Rob Kardashian. So much so that it led her to question Tatum’s paternity.
“My son looks like my brother, and my brother is one of my favorite people,” she said, adding, “Because he was an IVF baby, or a surrogate baby, I was like, ‘Rob, have you already donated sperm somewhere? ?’ I made Tristan do three DNA tests for Tatum, he was very offended.”
Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi, the podcast’s co-host and Kardashian’s doctor, added that she remembered the requests for DNA testing.
Kardashian then joked that finding out her brother is actually the father of her child “wouldn’t surprise her” given her family’s history of drama, but that it would be “so gross.”
In addition to 1-year-old Tatum, Thompson and Kardashian share a 6-year-old daughter named True, whom Kardashian gave birth to.
The former couple’s on-again, off-again relationship has made headlines over the years due to Thompson’s various cheating scandals.
The Cleveland Cavaliers player publicly acknowledged in January 2022 that he had a child with model Maralee Nichols while still in a relationship with Kardashian. Thompson and Kardashian were already waiting for Tatum.
Nichols and Thompson’s son, a 2-year-old boy named Theo, was born in December 2021. Thompson also shares a 7-year-old son, Prince, with his ex-girlfriend, Jordan Craig.
In May last year, Kardashian shut down speculation that she had reconciled with Thompson in an Instagram post and told fans to stop pushing a “narrative” that they were back together.
During her appearance on “She MD,” Kardashian discussed her current relationship with Thompson, saying the two were “not meant to be together.”
“He was supposed to be the father of these kids, and we get along really well, and I’m so grateful for that,” she said.
