Khloe Kardashian recently shared on the “SHE MD” podcast with Dr. Thais Aliabadi and Mary Alice Haney that she had her ex-boyfriend Tristan Thompson undergo three paternity tests to confirm if he was the biological father of their son, Tatum.
During the podcast, Kardashian revealed that Thompson was deeply hurt by her repeated doubts about Tatum’s paternity.
She explained, “I made Tristan do three DNA tests for Tatum. He was so offended.”
Kardashian’s uncertainty arose from Tatum’s physical resemblance to her brother, Rob Kardashian, rather than Thompson or herself. This led her to think if Rob could potentially be Tatum’s father.
“My son looks just like my brother, and my brother’s one of my favorite people,” Kardashian explained. “Because he was an IVF baby or a surrogate baby, I was like, ‘Rob, have you ever donated sperm somewhere?’”
Despite her doubts, Kardashian’s doctor reminded her she had already conducted a DNA test. However, she insisted on another test to address her concerns. This isn’t the first instance where Khloe Kardashian has faced paternity speculation.
Khloe Kardashian has been the subject of constant rumors suggesting that her father might be O.J. Simpson for years.
These rumors gained grip after Kris Jenner’s memoir hinted at an affair during her marriage to Robert Kardashian. However, Jenner has consistently denied any relations with Simpson.

In November 2021, Kardashian and Thompson decided to use a surrogate for their embryos. Shortly after, Kardashian learned that Thompson was expecting another child with a different woman.
The news of Thompson’s other paternity test left Kardashian feeling vulnerable and overwhelmed by the criticism and media inquiry she faced. “It devastated me because that’s when all the judgment and the knives were thrown at me.”
Although Kardashian is no longer with Thompson following a series of scandals, she insisted there was no bitterness between them.
“My ex, Tristan, is an incredible father. I don’t want this to be a bashing thing,” she said.
“He made a mistake, but he’s the nicest guy. 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, and I’m very grateful that I have one that wants to be in their lives, that’s active every day even though he doesn’t live here full time.”
