Khloé Kardashian Admits She Felt ‘Less Connected’ To Her Son Due To Surrogacy Process: ‘I Felt Really Guilty That This Woman Just Had My Baby’
Khloé Kardashian Admits She Felt ‘Less Connected’ To Her Son Due To Surrogacy Process: ‘I Felt Really Guilty That This Woman Just Had My Baby’
After months of staying quiet, Khloé Kardashian has finally revealed her son’s name and opened up about the surrogacy process.
Good American founder Khloé Kardashian shares her two children with ex-boyfriend, NBA player Tristan Thompson, 31. It’s no secret that the former love birds have had their ups and downs. However, they currently seem to be in a good place and co-parenting well. They welcomed their daughter, 5-year-old True Thompson, in 2018. And their second child, a baby boy, was born via surrogacy 9-months ago.
Despite revealing True’s name to the public fairly quickly, Khloé Kardashian, 38, and her ex have been very secretive over their son’s name…until now. During ‘The Kardashians’ season 3 premiere, she finally shared that the adorable baby boy’s name is Tatum!
She also alluded that she spent a lot of time and energy thinking of a name for her son and said,
“Naming a human is really hard.”
Later in the episode, Khloé Kardashian touched on the differences between birthing her daughter herself and having a surrogate carry her youngest child. While chatting with Scott Disick she revealed,
“But a surrogate process — Kim [Kardashian] knows — is very hard for me…It’s a mindf*ck. It is really the weirdest thing.”
She continued,
“[I do feel less connected]. People do say it takes a minute to feel connected but Kim said hers was easy. This is not easy.”
The mother-of-2 elaborated further and said,
“I definitely buried my head in the sand during that pregnancy that I didn’t digest what was happening. So I think when I went to the hospital that was the first time it really registered. It has nothing to do with the baby.”
She then said,
“I definitely was in a state of shock from my entire experience in general. I felt really guilty that this woman just had my baby and I take the baby and go to another room and you are separated,”
she concluded,
“It felt like such a transactional experience because it is not about him. I wish someone was honest about surrogacy and the difference of it. But it doesn’t mean it is bad or good. It is just very different.”
