If you didn’t know, Khloé found out “with the rest of the world” that Tristan had secretly fathered a baby with another woman in December 2022 — just weeks after they’d gone forward with their surrogacy plans.
In addition to hiding his son from her, Tristan was also battling a related court case over his paternity and child support issues, while Khloé was none the wiser.
As a result, Khloé spent the surrogate’s pregnancy “in denial” that it was even happening, and when Dr. Aliabadi called to say that her surrogate would need to give birth slightly earlier than planned, Khloé was so upset that she “started hysterically crying.”
Because of how distressed Khloé was, her OB-GYN ended up offering to take her newborn son home with her until she was “ready to pick him up.”
Ultimately, Khloé was able to attend the birth and look after Tatum herself following his arrival, but she has been opening up about battling feelings of “guilt” because of how long it took for her to bond with him.
