Overview

  • On her Khloé in Wonderland podcast, Kardashian revealed that it took her months to form a maternal bond with son Tatum, contrasting with the near-immediate connection she felt with daughter True in 2018
  • She described her self-confessed “control freak” approach by meal-prepping lunches, labeling snacks and planning school outfits for True while organizing bedtime books and routines for Tatum before her solo trips
  • Kardashian shared that she consulted a therapist on how to explain to True that Tristan Thompson is her father but not her “husband,” trusting her daughter to naturally sort out the distinction over time
  • She praised her largely seamless, drama-free co-parenting relationship with Thompson but admitted to occasional tensions, citing her defensive reaction when he suggested True’s shorts were too short
  • Khloé also defended her reliance on nannies against public criticism, arguing that having trusted caregivers is a normal part of raising her two young children
