We FINALLY know Khloe Kardashian’s son’s name
And it's not 'False'.
It was almost a year ago when we found out Khloe Kardashian was expecting another child via surrogate with her cheating ex, Tristan Thompson.
The week after the embryo transfer in November 2021, Khloe found out Tristan had secretly fathered a child with fitness model Maralee Nichols.
The scandal broke Khloe’s heart and the couple split. Now, Khloe and Tristan have an amicable co-parenting relationship and their son is 10 months old and we FINALLY know his name!
With their first child called True, we have all been expecting an unusual moniker for their baby boy and confirmation came during the premiere episode of The Kardashians season three, when Khloe revealed her son’s name is Tatum.
“Naming a human is really hard,” she added during the episode.
Khloe and Tristan welcomed their second child, via surrogacy, last year.
While we know his name now, over the past 10 months there have been plenty of fan theories surrounding the name of Khloe’s second baby.
Here’s a look at what the top picks were…
We knew she wouldn’t name her kid False. Yes, it would be funny. Even James Corden joked with Khloe during the season three premiere episode of The Kardashians that it’s the obvious choice.
Reminder, True’s name, while unique, was actually Khloe’s grandmother’s suggestion and it holds significance in Kris’ family.
“I knew I wanted my baby to have a ‘T’ initial, so one night while we were all at dinner, thinking of some names, my grandma MJ suggested True,” Khloe wrote when True was born.
“She told me it was my great-grandfather’s first name and my grandfather’s middle name.”
Khloe’s five-year-old daughter is named, True.
It was thought that Khloe would follow a similar formula for her son.
Rumours were swirling that his middle name would be ‘Robert’ after Khloe’s father’s first name, or George, which was Robert’s middle name.
It has been confirmed! Khloe’s 10-month-old son is named Tatum Robert.
Prior to True’s birth in 2018, Khloe told Ellen DeGeneres that the baby would be called Tristan Junior if it was a boy. However, this seemed unlikely that Khloe would go with that given Tristan’s cheating scandal.
Although on-off couple Tristan and Khloe are co-parenting both kids, the two aren’t together – at the moment.

Some fans previously speculated that Khloe would choose something in the same vein as True, an ideal such as ‘Loyalty’ or ‘Honest’. However, this would have been a huge slap in the face to Tristan since, you know, honesty and loyalty aren’t exactly virtues he possesses.
Others believed she would continue using her family as inspiration.
Khloe’s paternal great-grandfather was named Tatos, which he changed to Thomas when we emigrated to America.
Tatos fits Khloe’s naming conventions well. It’s a family name, it’s unusual without being truly out-there (hello Psalm) and it starts with ‘T’.
And now, as we all know, Khloe did go with Tatum, which is very similar to Tatos.
