Khloe Kardashian reveals why she asked ex Tristan Thompson to take 3 paternity tests for their son

Khloe Kardashian reveals she asked her ex Tristan Thompson to take three paternity tests because their son, who was born through a surrogate mother, has an uncanny resemblance to her brother Rob Kardashian. 

The reality TV star recalled the instances during an interview with She MD podcast

"My son looks just like my brother," Khloe said, adding, "Because he was an IVF baby or a surrogate baby, I was like, 'Rob, have you ever donated sperm somewhere?'" 

She then decided to ask Tristan to do three paternity tests to make sure there were no “accidental mix-ups" during the process. 

“He was so offended,” she quipped. "In this family, that would not surprise me, but that would be so disgusting." 

Khloe and Tristan share two kids, True, who was born in April 2018, and Tatum, who was welcomed in August 2022.

The two began dating in 2016 until Tristan got involved in multiple cheating scandals, including one that happened just days before their daughter was born. While he was still with Khloe, the NBA player got involved with Jordyn Woods in 2019.

They got back again years later until it was revealed in December 2021 that Tristan had fathered a child with Maralee Nichols, the same time when he and Khloe were expecting their son via surrogate. The pair welcomed Tatum as exes.

In the same interview, Khloe said that while her romance with the Cleveland Cavaliers player went downhill, she believes that Tristan is “meant to be the father of these kids." 

"He made a mistake, but he's the nicest guy," she said. "And we get along so well now. We're not meant to be together, but he was meant to be the father of these kids." 

"I've seen some other fathers that are not great fathers. I'm very grateful that I have one that wants to be in their lives, that's active every single day even though he doesn't live here full time,” she added.
